A great fundraising opportunity for all Chantilly Band parents will begin again in May of 2007 at the Nissan Concert Pavilion in Gainesville.  Please Email Wray Varley if you are interested in getting involved.

 

The Band Boosters have been working at Nissan since 1997. Basically, we (Band Booster Parents) run the concessions stands that are managed by ARAMARK. This could be serving food, working the cash register, pouring beer, etc. ARAMARK tells us, as a group, which stand/concession location we will be working. It's a lot of work but we have fun and enjoy working as a team. Sometimes we even hear the concerts! Profits are split 80/20 between student accounts and band general account.

Most concerts begin around 6 or 7pm with a report work time between 3-4pm. Each concert is different; a few are all day events, but most are evening concerts. How it works is that you get credit for each concert that you work, and it is not based on the total sales for that concert. The total earned for the season is divided by the number of sessions worked, then the 80/20 split. Last year Chantilly Band parents worked 21 out of 22 concerts and earned an average of about $70 per concert. So if you worked 10 concerts you would have $700 in your student account.
