What's New?
Congratulations to these Seniors!!!
Each year the Band Boosters give four (4) scholarships in the amount of $500 each. Seniors submitted scholarship applications in April and the winners were selected by Apex High School Student Services. The John Philip Sousa Band Award , selected by Mr. Jarvis, is the top nationwide prize in the school band field for displaying superior musicianship, leadership, dependability, loyalty and cooperation. The Semper Fidelis Award is presented by the US Marines Youth Foundation in recognition of diligence, dedication, and musical excellence. Congratulations to all these Seniors on an amazing 4 years with the band!

Fundraising Opportunities
Car Wash Fundraiser at Tidal Wave Auto Spa in Apex
We are so close to meeting our goal of $2200 - just need to sell 40 more tickets. Contact Christine Lennon at fundraising@apexhighband.org if you need more tickets for yourself or last minute gifts for teachers, graduates, instructors or leaders.
“Great deal! I don’t go to a lot of car washes because I’m very particular about how it looks and I do a better job than what most do. Today, I was excited to see what would happen. I discovered the wash we sell is the TOP wash (give everything). My van is used for land development so it was quite dirty, to say the least. I pulled in hopeful and pulled out pleasantly pleased! Had compliments on it right away from co-workers. I had to do my own vacuuming and they have sprayers and towels for those who want to do windows and door jambs at no extra cost. This wash was definitely worth my time as I value it tremendously! No car wash event can compare to the job Tidal Wave did.” -- Mike O
“Love this car wash! Not only does the outside of the car look fantastic, but cleaning out the inside and trunk is easy with vacuums on either side of the car. And, I don’t have to rush because there is no 2-minute timer! Each time I go, I do more with the cleaning solution and cloths they provide - windows, dash, seats (mine are leather), door jambs, and more. Great wash, Great value! With an expiration date of 12/2020, Bruce and I are getting enough tickets to get us at least to NEXT SUMMER!” -- Karen H

FANTASTIC News on Corporate Sponsorships!
We have our first ever $1,000 Gold Level Sponsor!! Bovenizer and Baker Orthodontics is a returning sponsor, but this year as a Gold Level Sponsor they will be recognized after our halftime show at all Apex High School home football games and at all concerts. If you were instrumental in securing this sponsor, please let us know. Parents - continue to ask businesses, your child’s tutor, dance/music instructors, dentist/orthodontist, or your favorite restaurant if they want to sponsor Apex Band. One simple question could mean $$ for our band program! Remember that sponsoring us is a win-win situation - our kids get a better music experience and the business gains visibility. Download our sponsorship program information and application. Any questions? Contact Alison Adams at sponsors@apexhighband.org.
Coastal Music Park - Training Dates (May 18, June TBD)
If you are interested in working our wine and beer carts to earn money for your student’s account, the next alcohol training date is Saturday, May 18, 10am at Coastal Music Park Amphitheater. You need to take the alcohol training if you are a new worker or it’s been 3 years since you were trained. Questions? Contact Karen Hyre at walnutcreek@apexhighband.org. Sign Up HERE to work events - if you can’t find an open worker spot, please sign up as an extra.
PNC - Summer Opportunities
There may be some COMMISSION ONLY opportunities at PNC working our Dip-N-Dots and Breyer’s Ice Cream cart. We normally don’t do summer events since there is no guaranteed minimum, but since our 16 year old students can now work and they have the summer off, this may be a good opportunity to make some money for your student’s account especially if parent and student work together (bonding time!). As a reminder, if you sign up, you are committed to work the event unless you can find a replacement. If you think you’d be interested in working over the summer, please email Christine Lennon at pnc@apexhighband.org.

- We’ll also be holding our annual mattress sale on September 14th. So, if you are in need of a new mattress, please WAIT and support the band with your purchase and get money back into your student account!
