Band Store |
|
|
The band store will be open at the end of practice on Thursday August 13th. The band store will only be accepting checks and cash. Past show and championship shirts are available for $5.00. I will have them for the next 3 weeks. They will then be placed in storage. They will still be available for purchase but turnaround time will be lengthy. If interested in making purchases of the past shirts please do so now. The Band Store needs volunteers throughout the marching season. Show your Lafayette Spirit and volunteer to (a) pull the band store trailer to school or (b) volunteer to create merchandise displays or (c) help with sales! If interested, please contact Stephanie Roney at cybertoothshr@yahoo.com or 859-519-0048. |
