#SWDAreas2014(the official hashtag)

FundraisersOn Saturday (April 26) of Convention, we will feature an "Orange Out" in honor of Dale Croston. We will be selling shirts at convention as well as at later most March workshops. All profits will be donated to two causes important to Dale and his family.

As a final note, we are trying to keep the full details of this project somewhat under wraps. Lisa Croston knows about the Orange Out, and knows that we are looking at donating, but she doesn't know we are including the whole district in the fundraiser.

Sshhhh… It’s a Secret!

We will collecting donations and notes at every area workshop and District Convention! In addition to helping an underprivileged music program, the university/chapter with the most participation will receive a VIP table for banquet at convention!

Who this benefits: The Tennyson Middle School Band program in Waco, TXNeeds: Reeds, method books, valve oil, stands, instruments etc.Note Criteria: Encouraging notes. No specific length. Include a little bit about your band experiences!How do I help? Donate at EVERY Area Workshop and Convention
