It is time to take the herd to Chick-fil-A (Middletown location) on Tuesday, December 12th for an ALL-DAY SPIRIT DAY! You heard me:ALL-DAY SPIRIT DAY!
It is our pleasure to team up with Chick-fil-A to help generate revenue for our beloved music program. Just show this flier for breakfast, lunch, or dinner on December 12th to the cashier in order to help fuel the Eastern High School band.
Fundraising: It takes like chicken!

Join our fundraising team!
How do I join?
It is my pleasure to tell you that all that you have to do is eat at Chick-fil-A on Tuesday, December 12th for breakfast, lunch or dinner accompanied with your flier.
It's Chick-fil-A SPIRIT DAY on Tuesday, December 12th; so moove on over to your Middletown location and fill up the bank by filling up on some delicious chicken.
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy Chick-fil-A and that's kind of the same thing!

Ladies should wear BLACK stockings or leggings and BLACK shoes. Ladies should wear pearl earrings and a pear necklace.
Students are welcome to wear a Santa hat or something festive during the combined band portion as long as it is not a distraction. We have a special guest performance on this concert. I can't wait for you to see it!

The first round of band picture orders went home today...Individual AND group composite pictures. Don't let those pictures live in their backpacks until after Christmas break. Those Eagles need to nest on the mantel or shelf for all to see.
It's a great time to be an Eastern Eagle!
