Band Donations
Do you or someone you know want to make a donation to the band?  Here is a new way that you can help us out!  Most of our music is ordered from a company called
JW Pepper.  We have created a wishlist of music that we would like to add to our music library.  You can see the list and purchase music for our band which will be sent directly to the high school.  We will create a label for the music and place it on the music saying that it was donated by the person or family responsible for the purchase. 
See the list at:


http://www.jwpepper.com/sheet-music/musiclist.jsp

Once you are there go to "find list" and type in:
Jesse Carson List

This is a terrific way to support the band, especially if you do not want to purchase items from our fundraisers and would like to make a donation straight to the band program.  Please help us spread the word by telling your friends and family members so that we can continue to supply our students with the best music available to bands.

Thank you for your donations!!

SmartMusic=Great practice technique

Mr. Street will be using a new program called SmartMusic in all of his classes.  Students can purchase a subscription for one year that costs $30.00 and they will have access to thousands of band titles and method books to help them in their practice habits.  For more information go to:

Food Lion Partnership

We have recently partnered up with Food Lion with the LionShop and Share program.  Lionshop and Share is the easiest, most convenient way to raise money for the Carson High School Band program.  Each time you shop at Food Lion and use your MVP card, a portion of your total grocery purchase will be donated to the band program.  You can help us raise money by signing up at foodlion.com, and searching for the JESSE CARSON HIGH SCHOOL BAND, or by completing the Food Lion file attachment and sending it in to school with your child.  As always, we appreciate your continued support of the Carson High School Bands.
