A message from the raffle committee...
The raffle committee has many opportunities for marching band parents to volunteer that are 1-3 hour shifts on nights and weekends helping sell tickets.

The 50/50 raffle for 2022 is off to a great start! The pot is currently $5,570 and growing! This is very important parent run fundraiser for the band boosters. Last year’s winner took home half the pot which was $14,505, and the band boosters got the same amount! We are planning to have a much bigger pot this year! This years drawing will be on fb live on 10/5/2022. You do not need to be present to win.

2. We will also have ticket bundles available that you can "check out" and go sell. Then you can return any unused tickets and money collected to the raffle committee. These bundles will have instructions included with them.
The raffle committee booth will be set up near the north entrance inside the football stadium for ticket bundle pickup and for purchasing raffle tickets every Thursday from 8:00-9:00 pm when you are also welcome to watch the band run through practice. Look for our raffle flag!

We will make sure they are well taken care of - fed, rested and ready to go! This will be a long day (no overnight). The first ever group of Marching Millers to travel out of state!
Lawrence & Center Grove Contests - Will most likely be evening performance times (after 7pm). Class A (the big schools) are typically last in performance order.

I will leave you with Dr. McCaffrey's "Dream" for the Marching Millers.... (Shared from the Back to School Bash)!
While I do believe it's amazing to DREAM BIG, just making state for the second year in a row would be a HUGE accomplishment! HUGE! BUT we LOVE the enthusiasm for the program, Dr. McCaffrey!
It's a great day for a great day!
BlackGOLD! 🖤💛
