Senior Night Lead Needed
Have you been wanting to dip your toe into taking a little bigger role in the Prosper Band Booster club? Well, have I got the perfect opportunity for you. We need someone to be the point person for our senior activities! We love our 2025 seniors and want to make sure they feel the love on Senior Night (10/31). You WILL have help, this is very do-able - I just need someone to be the point person. If you have it in you, please comment below or text me (Jennifer Downs ) at 972-415-5924.
Legacy Shade Tent Personalization
Boy o' Boy do we have the coolest new opportunity for you!
If you're looking for a way to leave your mark on the Mighty Eagle band, look no further. We are in desperate need of new shade tents for the marching band. News flash: The sun is bright and the weather is hot in TX y'all! These babies need covering.
For just $50 you can have up to 50 characters of your choice printed on a tent for all the world to see! Cool, right? Add your kids names, your family name + year, maybe your kids go in together and get a section name, seniors?? In turn for your tax deductible donation, we promise to showcase your name on the tents for a minimum of two years. BUT HURRY! There are just 128 spots available! You aren't confirmed until your payment is received so until then, it's up for grabs! We need these tents ASAP so we will open it up to middle schools and the public one week from today! (9/25)
Use the google form to sign up for a spot. There is a link on the form to pay.
Director Days
Our directors do so many amazing things for our kiddos and the hospitality team wants to take a moment each month to celebrate them! Sign up with a small group to plan/provide treats for our directors on your month of choice and make it a special day. A few examples are fancy drinks, lunch, breakfast burritos/bagels, snacks, desserts, gift cards, etc. The gesture can be as big or as small as you want to make it. It’s really just a small token of your appreciation!
If you want to take the task on your own signup for all 3 slots for your chosen day.
*This will be at your own expense, after you sign up we will provide a favorites list for each director.
Any person volunteering with the Mighty Eagle Band in ANY capacity is required to complete a background check with the district before you may be with the band.
