Hays Bands Fundraisers
Hays Bands sponsors several different types of fundraisers seen below. Each benefits a particular area of the boosters or directly to your student. The Booster fundraisers benefit the boosters organization to help fund the activities they do for the bands as well as any "extras" the bands will need help with. The Student Account fundraisers raise money for your student's travel account to help with all the trips they will get to participate in while with the Hays Bands. The Scholarship fundraisers benefit the scholarship account the boosters use to give to our wonderful and dedicated seniors. Just a small way of saying Thank You for all your years of being a part of the Hays Bands program!
Reminder! Effective January 2012 the Boosters will only accept checks from Booster families. Any checks for products or services must be made out to you and then you write one check to the Boosters to cover the entire order. As our bands have grown it has become overly time consuming to handle the volume of checks received. Thanks for your understanding or cooperation!

 | Dining for $Dollars - the boosters make a percentage of money on special ‘dining out nights’ at restaurants in the Buda/Kyle area. We are looking into several local businesses to coordinate “dining out nights”. We will begin in September. You can support the boosters just by eating out at a certain restaurants on particular nights. Watch for dates and locations of different places to dine all year long!
Pizza Hut - Tuesday, March 27
Pizza Hut will pay us 20% of total sales for our night. Mark your calendars!! Pizza Hut requires that you take your flyer (print out below) when you pick up your pizza for us to receive credit. We need 20 people per month to keep this going so order some pizza and support the bands at HHS, BMS, and DMS! 
Concession Stand for HS UIL Solo and Ensemble - February 4th, all day. Hays High school hosts the UIL High School Solo and Ensemble competition. The band boosters set up and run concessions all day. We will need volunteers to work the event- watch for shift times. We will also need donations of baked goods to sell in the concession stands.
Spring BBQ dinner - This years’ Spring Concerts are May 14th (high school) and May 15th (middle school.) This year the band boosters will be hosting a BBQ dinner at the PAC so that families can purchase dinner and hear a wonderful concert. We hope this helps families as they rush to get home from work and to the concert. You will not need to worry with cooking dinner! Watch for more information closer to time about serving times and ticket sales. We hope you will invite your whole family to attend and support the band boosters with a wonderful BBQ dinner and concert. | ||||

Scholarship Fundraisers
Scholarship Dinner - Our annual dinner is held in October and coincides with Band-o-Rama. We partner with a local restaurant to provide a great meal and raise money for our senior scholarship fund. In 2011 we partnered with Bill Miller BBQ and had a wonderful time. Thanks to all who helped and participated. We'll see you all again next year and good luck to all our seniors with their future endeavors. Note from Theresa Spong about the 2011 event - The results of our scholarship BBQ dinner are in we made 1,192.00 on the dinner. Not as good as we had hoped but we had less participation this year. Next year we will work on getting information out sooner and trying some different things to help sell more tickets. A huge thank you to the Jr High families for the desserts. Next year we are going to begin to alternate schools since we had SO many desserts.
