TAG DAY 2017: Parent Volunteers Needed

Please mark your calendars for TAG DAY, Saturday September 16th. It is the most important fundraiser for the Stuart music department in that it benefits all students in Orchestra, Band and Chorus. It is an annual September event in which music students canvas the neighborhoods to request donations for Stuart’s fantastic music ensembles. Every year the students raise over $30k in one day of fundraising. The funds are then divided between the 3 music disciplines depending on the hours of participation from the students/parents in that music discipline.

TAG Day is a long-standing tradition of Stuart High School. Groups of four or six will depart with a volunteer parent driver to go door-to-door in pairs, visiting homes in the Stuart neighborhoods. All neighbors are given a calendar of Stuart music performances, and donors to Stuart receive a tax-deductible receipt for their records.

Orchestra parent volunteers are needed to make this fundraiser a success. We need parents to act as drivers for the day. Each parent driver takes 4 students in their vehicle and drives a designated route through the community. Parents' hours are also included in the division of the funds so please volunteer for this very important event. Please volunteer at this link:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0949a9ac29a02-stuart3

All orchestra students are expected to participate Saturday September 16^th from 8a to ~3:30p. This fundraiser provides the money for yearly expense of uniforms, instrument purchase and repair, transportation to festivals and performances, scholarships, guest clinicians, and participation fees in competitions and festivals.  Please wear comfortable shoes, nice jeans, and your orchestra t-shirt.

The Orchestral Department thanks you in advance for your support of this very important fundraiser!
