FORWARD MARCH!

What is it? 

March is "Music in our Schools Month!"  This is the time we turn the spotlight to all the hundreds of thousands of students who are performing music and participating in music programs across the country. March 4th is National Marching Band Day! 

How does it work? 

Our students ask people to sponsor them for ONE DAY of Music in Our Schools Month.  The person who sponsors you for the the first day of the month gives $1.00. The person who sponsors the 2nd gives $2.00, and so on.  Students could ask their friends for the cheap dates and their family for the more expensive ones.  Nothing is more than $31 EXCEPT THE BONUS DAY OF MARCH 4TH: NATIONAL MARCHING BAND DAY which is $40.00.

4. Write the name of each day's sponsor on their day on the calendar.
