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.
