Pollo Tropical Cards!
These cards are only $5 are have TONS of delicious savings! These cards are being sold for $5 in the band room NOW! The profits made are going to this years props!
Penny Wars!
Thank you for a fun and successful fundraiser to the band students! All sections had a playful rivalry during this fundraiser. Thanks to all the band students efforts we have raised about $620. The winning section was: Brass! All sections received a special treat for their participation, though brass received something a little bigger as their treat. Goooo panthers!
Penny Wars is a competitive fundraiser between all the sections in the band. Every camp, each section had a designated bottle to fill with pennies! All the money goes towards the program, raising funds and taking away the pennies found in your couches and in the back of your drawers! The section to have the most pennies wins, but there is a twist! A sections can another more successful section by putting in dollars or silver coins to eliminate the value of pennies the competing section brings. For example if a section has 100 pennies in their bottle another section just needs to put a dollar for those pennies to no longer count and make their balance at 0 and give the other section a chance of winning! The students love the friendly rivalry and we have already raised over $200 just from the June band camp alone! The section to have raised the most pennies (without being negated by the silver coins or dollars from other sections) wins a special prize!

20/20 Fundraiser
Thank you for outstanding participation during the 20/20 fundraiser! We have raised almost $2,000 in donations thanks to your hard work and generous donors! For the students that participated money collected will go towards their last band fee- for participation in FMBC State Competition! Let’s go panthers!
This marching band season we are incorporated a fundraiser that has been a huge success for several programs at Somerset Academy called the 20/20 fundraiser. This fundraiser is so simple it will knock you socks off! A letter will be written personally for each student so they can send a letter to 20 people who may be able to donate $10.00 or more to the program. Every donation is accepted and appreciated, but the goal is to raise as much possible with this fundraiser. All the students have to do is collect 20 FULL addresses of friends, family members and businesses (smaller ones recommended) that may consider donating. The addresses will be collected by the Booster Club. The Panther Band Booster Club will send out all the envelopes. Money donated will then be sent back to the program and used to pay for our state trip. Money made will be divided by the number of marching band members and that number will be deducted from the final band payment of $150.00 for the state/Busch Gardens trip. The money raised will be deducted only from those students who participate in this fundraiser, which is MANDATORY. Forms have already been collected and the letters have been sent! We will have more information during July camp regarding the success of the fundraiser, etc.
Thank you again for a spectacular success!
Thank you to all participants of this fundraiser for making it another tasty success!
Thanks for your support during our first fundraiser of the 2013-2014 Marching Band Season as we sold Pollo Tropical Smart Savings Cards. Last year this fundraiser was a huge, tasty success and we need to thank you for making it even better this year! All band students were very recommended to sell at least 4 cards. These cards are $5 each and have more than over 50 dollars worth of savings on them including several buy one get one free specials, buy one get one half off specials and other great savings! Every purchase was greatly appreciated! All the money made went towards the props for the marching band show design and states trip along with all the other fundraisers this year so we thank everyone who put all their effort and sell as much as possible so we can make this year a great success! Thank you for your support and participation!”
