Tag Day - Area Chair Coordinator

Tag Day is the biggest fundraising event for the Pride of Herndon Band. Donations collected on  Tag Day are split 50-50 between the student accounts and the band. These proceeds can be used  for future expenses such as concert fees and the Spring Trip. To bring in those donations, all HHS  band and guard students, dressed in their band or guard uniforms, walk door-to-door in their  neighborhoods asking for contributions. The students travel in groups of two or three and hand out  flyers with information about the band and tags with the concert schedule for the band (hence the  name -Tag Day) while asking for contributions. If no one is home, the students will leave a mail-in  envelope. Students can also send contribution requests to relatives and friends.

Coordinator Responsibilities include:

Ask for an area chair and co-chair for each area. (beginning of band camp)
