Pearce Area Band Club - Supporting the MIGHTY MUSTANG BAND

Parents and students alike work for many hours each year to ensure that the Pearce Band continues to be recognized as the outstanding band it is. Extra effort and volunteer labor go a long way but it also takes money. It would be nice if a school could provide all the funds needed to run all the programs it supports, but this is not possible. However, it does provide money for many of the expenses incurred by our bands. For instance, the school purchases music, most uniforms, some instruments, and also pays for buses to the football games and local competitions. There are some school funds for other expenses incurred by marching and concert bands, but not enough to cover all of the costs. Fund-raising activities and direct payments by parents/students must cover the additional expenses.

Many students and parents raise funds to help cover trip expenses by participating in band fundraisers. In the past this has included selling magazines, soliciting items for the annual auction, and purchasing a band yard sign. Annual fundraisers have included the MMB March-a-Thon, PABC auction, Fall Football Programs, and Magazine Sales. For 2007-2008 the Mightly Mustang Band major fundraisers will be Spirit Wear/Yard Signs sales, the Media Guide/Football ads, the Annual Silent Auction, and (new for this year) sales of Coca-Cola products.

These different fundraisers bring in much needed funds that support the entire band organization. Show your spirit today by participating in these long-standing MMB traditions!

Contact the 3rd VP 1st Assistant (Auction) board member with auction questions.

Fall Football Programs/Media Guides
If you find a business to place an ad, or sponsor one of the band's photos in the fall football programs and Media Guides, the band receives a portion of the profit.

Contact the Booster Club representatives on the PABC with questions about program ads.

Yard Signs
You've probably noticed yard signs distributed throughout the Pearce Area. PHS sports teams, cheerleading squads, choirs, orchestras, drill teams, and other extra-curricular groups support and promote their members with these yard signs. The MMB yard sign is no exception! Order your personalized band sign today! If you already have a yard sign, but desire changes, these can be made for a nominal fee.

Contact either of the 3rd VP 2nd Assistants (Minor Projects) board members with questions for magazine, yard signs, or shirt sales.

Spirit Shirt Sales!
Show your Mighty Mustang Band Spirit! Band parents and siblings are encouraged to purchase and wear red Mighty Mustang Band polo shirts or t-shirts. Orders are taken at the band barbeque in August. The shirts are available in youth and adult sizes, with the Mighty Mustang Band logo in embroidery, and will be personalized with your student's instrument or color guard flags on the shoulder. You will want to wear these shirts to all the football games and pep rallies.

Contact either of the 3rd VP 2nd Assistants (Minor Projects) board members with questions for magazine, yard signs, or shirt sales.
