We are over the halfway mark of raising funds for new Wildcat Marching Band Uniforms! Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed so far!
CONGRATULATIONS to Trevor Henry and Jane Harrison who won the Summer Meat Grilling Raffle. Thank you so much for supporting the band!
Let’s get these students in new uniforms sooner than later! Contributions may be directed to Marcellus Community Schools, PO Box 48, Marcellus MI 49067. Please indicate that donations are for the Band Uniform Fund. It will take about 180 days from the time we reach our $40,000 goal until the uniforms will be ready. The sooner we can raise the funds, the sooner the students will have new uniforms.
The Band will soon be selling “Wildcat” stadium blankets to help raise money for our marching uniforms. Large blankets (50×60) are $25 and X-Large blankets (60X70) are $35. More details when the blankets arrive, which should be next week.
