The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.... NA Band Style

Get ready to step up to the plate, ladies!!!

Most all of you have seen videos flooding your social media pages of people you know taking the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  Many of you have been challenged yourselves, as have your band staff.

Here's what we're going to do.

We are going to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, but we're going to do it as a competition between the Auxiliary Units (Colorguard/Majorettes) and the Drumline.  Beginning tomorrow we will have 2 buckets set up in the band hall to deposit your money into.  One bucket will be for us, the other will be for the drumline.  The group that has the most money at the end of the week not only wins, but gets to dump buckets of ice water on the other group!

For example:  If the Auxiliary units win, we get to dump buckets of water on the drumline.  (YAY!)

If the Drumline wins, they get to dump buckets of water on us.  (BOO!)

You can also get your classmates in on the action!  If you have a favorite instrumentalist (or two... or three... or... TWELVE) who would like to help donate to a GREAT cause, or who would like to see a drumline member get soaked, have them help out!

...granted this also works in reverse too, so befriend a few (or a lot of) hornline members!!!  We do NOT want to get beaten by the NA Drumline!!!!

The results of this contest will be announced during the 4th quarter of the ballgame on Friday night, and the losers will be soaked back at the band hall after the game is over.

The clock is ticking!!!!  Bring in your piles of change and all those dollars you know you shouldn't be spending on candy bars and cokes!!!  All the money going into either bucket will be donated to the ALS Association, in hopes of one day finding a cure for this horrible disease.

So get to crackin' girls!!!  We've got lives to help save, and a few drumline members to freeze!!!!
