Please sign up to work the Chick-fil-A Booth at Seminole Pow Wow. All proceeds go into the band's general fund.
Chick-Fil-A has again generously offered our band the opportunity to staff their stand at Seminole Pow Wow (at the Seminole Recreation Center). Last year, we made over $1600 in profit! Volunteers will be responsible for selling Chick-fil-A sandwiches and nuggets as well as any candy and chips left over from Seminole Visual. We will also need one of the volunteers on each shift to be the "runner" (picking up the orders from Chick-fil-A and delivering them to our stand at the Pow Wow). The Friday night of this event is also the Spaghetti Dinner. It is imperative that we have volunteers at this site!!!!

In addition to top notch performances, there will be a buffet dinner served for $10 per person, with proceeds to benefit our own Warhawk Band Program! Band students pay $5 for dinner.
Please bring an item to donate to the food pantry sponsored by the church, as a thank-you to them for allowing us to use their beautiful facility!
