Wanted:  Pictures & Videos

For the last many years, Bob Timmins (former TJ band dad) has put together a TJ Band DVD highlighting some the band’s performances throughout the year.  He is starting to put together the DVD for the 2011-2012 school year and is asking for any additional video or still photos you may have of the band’s performances this school year.  If you have any video or pictures that you would like to possibly have included in this years video, please contact Bob Timmins either by email at vze29rfn@verizon.net or by calling or texting his cell phone at 412-576-9149.  If you would like to contact him during the day, a text will get good results.  The most efficient way to get your photos or video to Bob is to put the content on a flash drive or disk.  If you need help doing that, Bob can be of assistance.  He would like to have all of the pictures and video by the end of January. In the near future, we will be taking orders for this DVD and they will be distributed at our annual band banquet on May 25.  This DVD makes a great commemoration of the band’s marching season.

Fundraisers

TJ Band has numerous fundraising opportunities throughout the year to benefit both student goal setting accounts, as well as the band in general.  In addition to many short-term fundraisers, ongoing fundraisers such as GFS FunFunds, ink cartridge & cell phone recycling, SCRIP, and TJ Band uniform pillows are available. Please see the fundraiser page for information, order forms, etc.

Drawstring Backpacks

Replacement TJ Band drawstring bags are available for purchase at $7.00 each.  Please contact Noreen Gramm if you would like to purchase another bag.
