The All Band Car Wash is a mandatory activity for the full band (including guard).  It is on Saturday, July 17 from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm.  Parents are welcome and needed to help as well.  Car wash supplies are needed - soap, sponges, towels, buckets, hoses, etc.

This will be a big event.  We are looking to occupy 4 to 6 locations as well as working at Sonic as carhops.  In addition to taking donations at each location, every band/guard member is asked to collect as many pledges as possible prior to the “wash”.  Personal checks will not be accepted.

All pledge sheets and money must be turned in on or before Tuesday, July 13.
