WORK AMERIS CONCERTS & EARN $$ MONEY $$ TOWARDS BAND FEES
Our most important fundraiser of the year is underway. We partner with Ameris Amphitheatre to staff concession stands. In return, the band receives all of the tips and a % of sales. As an added incentive, every show you volunteer for will earn $40 credit you can apply to any of your students' band fees this year. There are a lot of fun shows available. Sign up here for concerts.
We have to submit the shows we can man a month in advance and the minimum volunteers needed to work a concert are three. Please take a moment and check the schedule.
PARTNERSHIP WITH ARTIFEX COFFEE
Hopefully you are enjoying our new partnership with Artifex Coffee! As a reminder, Artifex Coffee is owned by a fellow RHS parent, and their delicious coffee is roasted locally in Alpharetta. Artifex offers a collection of coffee roasts, whole bean or ground to your preferred brew method. Don't forget to use code RHSBAND at checkout so the Band will receive 20% of the cost of purchase.
