Haman Foundation Grant
Thank you to the Haman Foundation for the donation of $4,000.00 to enable the NP Band Boosters to purchase 2 additional Tuba Cases from Unitec and brand new Alto Saxophones for the Middle School Band Program.
New Band Trailer!
One week ago, our brand new 52-foot-long Band trailer arrived from the United Trailer Factory! If you haven’t seen it yet, it will be stored down at the bus garage until we are able to outfit the interior of the trailer for use. $8,000.00 of the $15,000.00 cost to purchase the 6 new uniform carts from Unitec Corp. in Canton, Ohio was raised at the Music Marathon. These custom designed Uniform Carts will allow us to use the new Trailer throughout the year for other purposes, not just uniforms. Additionally, these carts will store raincoats, uniforms and our buckets (hats), saving room in the trailer. Any donations towards our Uniform Carts would be greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. Please make checks payable to NP Band Boosters.
