Community thanked for band support
Published Wednesday, May 14, 2008
The Fergus Falls Band Booster board would like to take this opportunity to thank the community and band parents who have thus far donated so generously toward the goal of saving our current band progams. We have taken on a tremendous challenge to raise money to keep our current band programs and avoid losing one of our band instructors due to the recent school budget cuts.
These cuts are not acceptable to us and the students. We want to keep what has been a long-standing tradition of musical excellence in our schools.
We, as the band board and other concerned community members, feel we must take a stand for our kids and for the band department's future. We know there are many unanswered questions and concerns amongst the community and our hope is that if you have these questions and concerns that you will contact a band board member. We have set up a Web site with questions and answers posted. If you do not find your answer there, please e-mail your questions to:
ffbandboosters@gmail.com or call a band board member. The Web site address is www.fergusfallsbandboosters.org.
Please send your donations to Fergus Falls Band Boosters, PO Box 115, Fergus Falls, MN 56538.
Thank You For Your Suppor.

Comments
The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Post a comment
