Mac Band Boosters

It's finally here ... The ice event is over, a little warmer than it was and we hope everyone did okay! We hope the worst part of it was we had to delay Mardi Grazie a week!

So there are a few hours left to pre-purchase your raffle tickets and also get the sign-up done for your Shield's up number.. until 11pm tonight (Sunday) and then we will reopen the purchases on-site Tuesday...

And you want those bidder numbers! Check out this MAC Band swag you can win if you are The Last Hero! Some of these are one of a kind only available here and never for sale in the merchandise store! You can be the envy of all! Also, your student could enjoy the RTIC cooler for band competitions or the lunch bag for daily use... Something to consider!!

Remember, Madi Grazie is now in the MAC theater, doors open at 5, Steel Drums performs at 5:30 and then the main stage event starts at 6:30!

So our Mardi Grazie was delayed... but here is another awesome way to support the band! And you can share this since it is fully online!

Consider ordering your Valentines candy from See's Candy while supporting the band! This storefront is only available until the the end of the month.

All funds are to support the band, supporting the students with scholarships to participate in events and everything else band related. Our current focus is the once in a lifetime opportunity for them to perform at Carnegie Hall in June 2026.
