F.A.M.E. has been supporting music in our schools over the last 12 years! They host a street festival in downtown Englewood where bands donate their time and energy to help local music programs acquire instruments. Money spent on lunch, dinner, beverages, t-shirts, on the silent auction, or in raffles goes towards purchasing new instruments in our schools. To date, F.A.M.E. has raised nearly $200k! They hope to cross that threshold this year with your attendance and support! Bring the family, listen to some great local talent, and pay it forward! 

In addition, our jazz band and varsity percussionists will perform alongside the LBHS jazz band and VES drummers. Please see our newsletter here if your child is performing. They take the stage on Saturday at 11am!

This year, the boosters and Mr. Ostrow would like to offer a short one day clinic for our beginners. Please read the newsletter for details or look below. 

The band is selling Yankee Candles from October 17th through November 7th. 40% of each item sold goes to the band. Please make checks payable to L.A. Ainger Band Boosters. A 7% sales does apply.

The catalog features fall and Christmas candles, popcorn, wrapping paper, and more. Monies raised through this fundraiser will go to pay for buses, music, accessories, and clinicians for solo and ensemble as well as the upcoming Beginning Band Rehearsathon (News to come soon!). 

Click here to get to the Yankee Candle Website and type 990027425 in the "Group Code" section in the "Start Shopping" box. Don't forget to give your child credit in the seller id box. You can also create a sellers profile for your child and share through social media.
