Ryle Band Update- August 26 Edition
Greetings to all of our Ryle Marching and Concert Band Families!
We have several updates as we get back into the swing of things as the school year has gotten underway and as we prepare for our marching band competition season to start.
3C Fundraiser
- Cookie Dough, Cheese and Candle fundraiser officially kicked off last week! Hope your student sold some things over the weekend, as this past weekends’ top seller earns a Go Pro!
- Proceeds from this- and ALL- fundraiser(s) benefit ALL of our bands- marching, concert, and jazz alike.
- Questions about the fundraiser should be directed to Sarah Newman at allthethings.ryleband@gmail.com
Spirit Ads
- Celebrate your marcher with an ad in the Ryle Tournament of Bands (RTOB) Program
- Order online at
- Deadline to order is Friday, August 30!
Sponsorship
- We need someone to head up our sponsorship committee
- This is a job that can be done largely from home- sending letters, reaching out to area businesses, etc.
- Sponsorship is a growing area of support for our band that can provide significant income from external sources!
- Interested? Curious? Contact Denise Lorson at nieceyl68@gmail.com
Uniform Help
- Our uniform team needs volunteers to help wash uniforms in between competitions as well as people to help during the competition day.
- We also need people to help before/after football games- including this Friday!
- To inquire or volunteer, contact Shelley Bogenschutz at shelleyb1976@gmail.com
Band Picture Day Tuesday, August 27
- Dingo Photography will be at Ryle during the afternoon before rehearsal on Tuesday, August 27 taking individual pictures of marching band members
- Shelley Bogenschutz and her uniform crew could use a couple extra folks to help- please contact her at shelleyb1976@gmail.com if you are able to help that afternoon before practice begins
Pit and Prop Help Needed!
- Ever wonder what it is like witnessing the show from the field? No need to continue the curiosity!
- Our pit/prop crew is in need of assistance during competitions and football games. We assist getting items on and off the field for performances, and we also help to transport our many necessities to the home base site at various competitions.
- There is also an opportunity for a Penske truck driver for competition days
- Contact Ryan Royse if you’d like to help: thebandfather@gmail.com
