Tigard High Band & Auxiliary Booster Newsletter
What is a Booster? You’re a Band & Auxiliary Booster if you’re the parent or guardian of a student in any Band Class, a Marching Ensemble Member, a Winter Color Guard Member, a Winter Drumline Member, or a Cadet Drumline Member. Yes, just by allowing your student to be part of any one of these groups you’re automatically a Booster. Congratulations! We rely upon the entire family to support the program, students and adults. To learn more about what it means to be a Booster please read About Us and the Welcome to the Boosters page. The Board would also love to learn more about you, you can tell us by filling out the Booster Questionnaire. Email the Board with any questions or comments – thsbandboostersor@gmail.com.

Fall Can & Bottle Drive + Pop Up Boutique
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
We need EVERYONE to do 1-2 shifts. See below for more info on what is required.
WEEK OF SEPT 24TH: Can & Bottle Drive Announcement Flyer Distribution – SIGN UP HERE
SEPT 29TH: Can & Bottle Drive Collecting & Sorting – SIGN UP HERE
Download and share these fundraiser flyers! Flyer #1 | Flyer #2
Fall Can & Bottle Drive on September 29th @ Twality Middle School, so start saving those returnable items! We’ll also be adding something new! A LuLaRoe Mobile Shopping Boutique experience, also on September 29th @ Twality Middle School.
The Can & Bottle Drive is a three step process.
1. Flyer Distribution to Tigard Neighborhoods
Mid-September: After School, multiple shifts and a very critical part of our drive!
Drive your student’s team to hand out flyers: There are a few routes within walking distance of THS. Students will form into 16 teams to cover the 16 routes we’ve mapped out. Most of the neighborhoods are not by the school! It is up to the students to coordinate when they are going to do the flyers and who is driving them. Please note that it will take a team of 4 students about 3 hours to paper a neighborhood. Please plan accordingly and it goes a lot smoother and faster with a parent helping! They are required to finish the entre route no later than 6:00 pm on Friday but sooner is better!
So students, gather a few friends (teams of 4 preferred, 3 if that’s all we can fit in a car) and bug one of your parents to be a driver.
For the flyer distribution we can be flexible on the actual day that you take a team of 4ish students out. We just need to know when you’re going and who you’re taking! SignUp.com is not setup to accommodate the unusual scheduling needs of this event. If you can get your team together at a different time we can work with that too, but we’d prefer the driver (aka supportive parent), to pick up the flyer packet with route map at 3:15.
2. Pick-up and sort the donated cans and bottles into three teams; cans, plastic, and glass.
September 29th at Twality from 9AM – 3PM, multiple shifts!
3. (Adults only) Deliver and unload the sorted donations at the Oregon Bottle Redemption Center in NW Portland the week following the drive.
