Fundraisers

How to play…

Participants pay $5/$8 admission to the fundraiser. This buys you two cards (each with a number) to bid with. Participants have a choice to purchase additional bidding cards for $3 each. All cards are pre-numbered and you can pick your number! When a card is purchased the corresponding numbered ball/chip will be added to the emcee’s bucket to be drawn for each item. Each item up for bid will be displayed before the event, for all guests to preview.

Bid Increments:
4 Quarter bid on – retail value of $51 and up
3 Quarter bid on – retail value of $36 – $50
2 Quarter bid on – retail value of $21 – $35
1 Quarter bid on – retail value of $10 – $20

The emcee then gives a description, retail value, and how many quarters you will need to bid, per card, for each item. You place your bid in the container on the table and hold up your numbered card. If you have more than one card, you must place a bid for each one that you want to play for that round. (Ex. 2 cards and want to play both – .25 item, you must place .50 in the bid bucket to play both cards, .50 item, you must place $1 in the bid bucket, and so on.) When all bids are collected (by runners), the Emcee will draw a numbered chip/ball from the container. If the number on your card that is in play matches the number on the chip/ball drawn, you call out “Go Band!” and win that item. If you have the number, but have not bid on that item, you yell out “No Bid” and the Emcee calls another number, until we have a winner. The Emcee will call each number two times, and if no response is given, will state “Moving On” and call another number. Once “Moving On” has been called, previous numbers are invalid to claim that prize. Once we have a winner, all chips will be placed back in the container and go to the next item to be auctioned. There will be an intermission half way through, and the event should take about 3 hours.

What is sub night?

If you are new to the Band or have never experienced Sub Night, come see what it’s all about!

Quota is earned for each adult and student who comes to help (on-the-job training always available!)

Some reminders:

• "Sub Night" begins at 4 p.m. in the Cafeteria (on the Pick-up/Delivery dates posted). Both students and parents are welcome and needed, however we must limit help to the first 30 people who show up and sign in. Help for working on subs is on a first-come first-served basis. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate more than 30 people.
• The line for picking up subs begins at 6:00 p.m. and subs must be picked up by 6:15 p.m.
• Sign in when you begin and please sign out when you are no longer working.
• Hands need to be washed and new gloves put on before each new job.
• All trays of food need to be carried by adults.
• If anyone has spare paper bags, we can always use them.

And from the Health Department:

• Hair needs to be kept off the face - this applies to guys as well as girls. If this is a problem, we will give you a hairnet.
• If you are ill or not feeling well, please stay home.
• No dangling jewelry should be worn to Sub Night, as it might fall into the food.
• The LHS Band has earned a reputation over the years for selling fresh, generous, attractive subs. We need everyone’s continued cooperation to maintain that tradition.

Linganore Winecellars Volunteer Guidelines

Welcome to the Linganore Winecellars Festival Season. We appreciate those volunteers that are returning again this year, and are looking forward to working with you and new volunteers as well. We work with many Schools / Organizations, giving them the opportunity to raise funds for their groups. In order to do this, we must insist that any ”rivalry” be left at home. Any conflict will risk your group’s opportunity to continue to volunteer with us.

Winery owners have determined that training of volunteers is essential. New/untrained volunteers will not be offered the opportunity to work at any off-site events until they have completed at least two events at Linganore Winecellars. The following is a list of guidelines that we ask all of our volunteers to follow in an effort to make the season a success.

1. Dress for the weather, comfortable, casual, but appropriate. Unless you wear a Linganore shirt, we prefer no advertising of businesses, and no offensive wording or pictures on your shirts. You are representing our winery when you volunteer, so please consider the image we wish to portray to our customers.
2. Shifts will vary depending upon the festival site, the volunteer position, and the size of the event. You may volunteer all day if there are openings. Be on time for your shift. We rely on your help and if you do not show up for your shift, that leaves us short-handed. If this happens, you may not be permitted to volunteer in the future. Remember, the Festival goes on, rain or shine.
3. All volunteers must be signed-up in advance to enter the festival. Call Peg Kase at 301-831-9479 to volunteer.
4. Upon arrival, report to the Pavilion and sign in with the lead person. You will be given a wristband to wear for the day. You will then be directed to your station for that day. At the end of your shift, you must sign-out.
5. You will be instructed on the tasting and selling of wines for customers. You could be making many transactions but, each transaction must be taken immediately to the cashier. Any holding of cash is considered theft, and you will be dismissed.
6. Always be pleasant when addressing the customers and use appropriate language at all times. Be a good listener and answer questions to the best of your knowledge. If you do not know, don’t guess, contact the lead person for assistance. If you are asked to assist a customer to their vehicle with their purchase, inform the lead person, show the receipt at the gate, and return promptly to resume your shift. If you are unable to help a customer, notify the lead person and help will be made available.
7. As a volunteer, you are provided with food and drink during your shift. Please be considerate of the amounts you take, as it is there for many volunteers including the entire Parking Staff, all Gate Personnel, Security, and not to mention, the second shift of Servers.

How it works:

Order pizza at the Mount Airy or New Market Domino's, for delivery or carry out. When you pay for your pizza, you must turn in the slip at the bottom of the flyer. The flyers are available in the band room and this website. Fill out the slip completely - this is the only way that Domino's can credit the band for your order.

Domino's will donate 15% of every order to the band. This money goes to the general fund. It helps everyone! New uniforms, new equipment, chartered buses, buying down the budget, competition fees - IT BENEFITS THE WHOLE BAND!
