A “Taste for Music” – Reimagined
April 24, 2021
This year’s event is free, outside and open to the whole family (and all friends), and features musical performances by the Buchholz Jazz Band. We’ll have gift sets and other items to auction online before the event. Stop by to pick up your winnings that evening and stay for the music, dancing and togetherness near Hoggtowne Music in Thornebrook Village.
How to Get Involved
Please consider becoming more involved by volunteering as a chairperson for one of the fundraisers. If you chair a fundraising committee, it does not mean that you will be working on that fundraiser alone! What it does mean is that you’ll work together with other band parents to organize a successful fundraiser. The more volunteers we have, the more successful our band program will be! If you have any questions about volunteer opportunities, please contact Lisa Zunkel, Vice President – Fundraising at goldenregimentbandmom@gmail.com.
