Hey Sarah!
Check it out! I’m a member of the Jersey Village Band and Color Guard. We are out to have a great year. Read my story about the great things we are up to this yea and support us with a donation. Click this link: https://my.reason2race.com/XXXX
This year we will be performing different pieces inspired by our theme “48th and Broadway.”
As you know the band and color guard prepare us to be ready for what’s next. It teaches us how to work with others as a team, how to be prepared and comfortable presenting to large audiences, how to lead and follow, how to analyze information and use it to produce results. These are all assets we need to take with us as we move into the next phase of their lives.
We invite you to support us to make this year’s experience the best it can be. You can allow us to close the gap and provide additional opportunities for everyone. Click my campaign pages link below and make a generous donation.
