Three senior members of the Mansfield Senior High Band – Aiden Crider, Kylie Ramsey and Brianna English -- talk with director Jeff Freytag and assistant director Charles Bradley. Here’s your chance to help the Mansfield Senior High School band department and maybe win some holiday cash in the process.
The band is
hoping that the return of its 100 Club will help to offset the cost of
supplies, instrument repairs and, in some cases, new instruments.
The
structure of the 100 Club is simple: Members each put in $40 to cover an
11-week period of weekly and bonus drawings in which they could win $50, $100
or $500.
The 68-member Tyger band entertains at football games, parades and concerts but keeping in performance shape means repairs, replacing drum heads, sticks, woodwind reeds, music and countless other elements that keep the program moving.
“The band department at Mansfield Senior High School has a rich tradition stretching as far back as the 1920s,” director Jeff Freytag said in promoting the 100 Club. “The band program relies heavily on fundraising. Much of the burden of raising these funds rests solely on the shoulders of band students and their parents.”
The MSHS
Band Boosters successfully utilized the 100 Club a few years ago. Freytag and
assistant band director Charles Bradley are hoping another round will raise the
money needed now.
Participants
in the 100 Club must have a completed entry form and a $40 check made out to
Mansfield Senior High School Band Boosters to Freytag by 8 a.m. on Oct. 7.
The program
will kick off with a $100 drawing on Oct. 7, followed by $50 drawings on Oct.
8, 9, 10, and 11, then weekly $50 drawings starting on Oct. 14.
Bonus
drawings of $100 are scheduled for Halloween, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving
Day.
Payouts
conclude with three grand prize drawings in December: $100 on Dec. 18, $250 on
Dec. 19 and $500 on Dec. 20.
“You will be eligible to win each drawing even if you have already won a previous drawing,” Freytag said.
To enter, fill out the form below and return it with
your payment by 8 a.m. Oct. 7 to Jeff Freytag, 124 N Linden Road, Mansfield,
Ohio 44906
