Press Release for Oh the Places You Go Festival

Hello Friends and Family,

I want to let you know about an exciting event that is happening THIS SATURDAY! September 15th from 8 am to 6 pm.

Davis High Marching Band has been invited to march in the 2013 Tournament of Roses Parade in California. As part of the many fundraising programs, we have organized the "Oh the Places You'll Go" Fundraiser Festival. A lot of work has gone into organizing this and it will be an exciting event for everyone to attend.

It starts with a family 5.5 mile run (with prizes, a t-shirt and light breakfast) then stay and test drive an Ed Kenley Ford.  Ford Company will donate $20 for every test drive.  Also, Young Kia has their Facebook LIKE thing going. Every "like" will give the band $1 up to $2,000.

Also, at the festival there will be inflatables and princesses and food and a performance stage and carnival games and much more. The teens can challenge themselves on the rock wall and obstacle course (the obstacle course will have prizes for fastest times). Come participate in our tailgate party and if you want you can register to compete in the tailgate cook-off for some great prizes!

Later that day (at 5:30 pm) stay and watch the Davis High School Marching Band perform for the first time in full uniform their competition field show. This is the only time to see this show for free!

Most important: go to davisbands.org to get more information, times and to register for the events, buy food vouchers and purchase wristbands for access to select activities.

You can also donate at this website if you will not be able to attend and want to show your continuing support. No donation is too small and all amounts are greatly appreciated.

Please forward this email to your friends and family so this is the biggest and most successful fundraising event for the Davis High Band and Color Guard.

Thank you for your support!

Thank you thank you for advertising this. We (minus Chris who was working) came to the Field Show Preview and L-O-V-E-D it! It was fun talking to Camden beforehand about the instruments and I definitely had some teary eyed moments and LOTS of goosebump moments. (I cry at track meets and band field shows apparently.) It was a wonderful event to attend. And Golda makes a killer Belle.
