Text Box: Each year the Perry Band holds several social functions throughout the school year, and I just wanted to introduce myself, and to let you know what activities the Band Boosters normally plan socially. My name is Coleen Gehring and my position is 2nd Vice President, Social Functions. My husband, Tom and I are transplants from Massillon and we have been living in Perry since 1989. We have one son, Matthew, who is a Sophomore this year and can be seen (heard) in the trombone section. Besides the picnic, the Boosters are responsible for planning the Marching Band Senior Night, Marching Band Pizza Party, Palace Theater Concert Dessert Reception, Band Dance (for all bands), Band Banquet (for all bands), and maybe a few more surprises… Text Box: PERRY BAND BOOSTERS Text Box: Don’t forget to sign up to work concessions at the Bluecoats/Bingo Fundraiser on Monday and Thursday evenings.

Orders will be filled immediately at the close of the sale. Everyone will have their orders by October 1st. Please start checking with friends and family now so we don't miss out on any orders.

DATA BASE

During the first week of school in band class, all Perry band students will be asked to complete a form providing the Perry Band Boosters with mailing, email and phone number information. This will be used for future Perry Band Booster mailings and for communicating with parents when necessary.
