Game #8 on 10/18, starting at 2 PM

"The Pride of Shaker Heights" returns home this Saturday, October 18, in a game against Elyria.  We will have a brand new show on the field with a couple of surprises, so this will be a game you don't want to miss!  Please note that kickoff for the game has been moved to 2 PM to accommodate testing that is going on that morning.  Call time is noon on the practice field in full uniform with raincoats.

The International Band Trip Fundraiser has begun!

The fundraiser provides Band Students the opportunity to raise money to help pay for their International Band Trip, which usually occurs every three years. The next trip is scheduled to be in the Spring of 2016 (location TBA.)

The cost for previous trips has been around $3,000. Students in grades 7 through 11 are encouraged to participate in this fundraiser. Even though 7^th graders will not be included in the 2016 Band Trip, they can begin to raise money for the trip they would take in their Junior year.

Students will be selling Malley's candy and Indian River Groves fruit. All sales are conducted online; no forms to fill out! Fruit may be sold from October 7 - November 8, and candy may be sold October 7 - December 14. Profits range from about 33 - 46% depending on product sold.

To get started, go to http://www.shakerbands.org/home/bandtripfundraiser.html and follow the prompts to register for the fruit and/or candy sales. You will also find answers to frequently asked questions there. Students who have participated in the past received a letter mailed home indicating their current trip fund balance.
