City Barbeque

If you participated in the Fall Cookie Dough Fundraiser, the pickup date will be Thursday, November 19th, from 3-7pm, in the AMS Commons.
All items will come delivered in a box(es) labeled with the student’s name. It is your responsibility to show up, or send a responsible person on your behalf, during that window, check that your order is correct, and hand deliver all items to those who purchased from you. If you sold any perishable items, and you fail to pick them up, they will go bad.
Students may NOT take items home on the bus.
All prizes earned will come with your delivery. (With the exception of the Mitchell’s certificate, which you can pick up directly from Elaine Guthrie that night.)
If you have any questions, contact Elaine: elaine@jasonguthrie.net or 408-220-5134
Thank you all for participating in this fundraiser!
A HUGE thank you to Ashley Davis and her crew of buyers and managers for their hard work with the concession stand. This is ABOB's biggest source of income and requires a LOT of teamwork! Thank you to all of you who volunteered to work at the concession stand. We appreciate you all!
In preparation for next season, please look at the attached flyer listing descriptions for different concession jobs and reach out to Ashley or reply to this email if you can help.
Saturday, December 12
Hot cocoa, coffee, donuts, a holiday tree raffle, local vendor shopping, and performances from our Jazz Bands, Wired! (our middle school rock orchestra), and new this year-- 4th & 5th grade choir!
It's a festive morning, and planning it is just as fun — decorating, organizing raffle trees, coordinating with local vendors and artists, and making the cafeteria feel like a holiday market. If you love party planning, this is your event.
Contact Heidi Carrion (hcarrion77@gmail.com) if you'd like to help plan!
Two of our biggest (and most fun!) fundraising events are coming up, and both committees are looking for a few more hands to help plan!
Jingle Mingle – Saturday, December 12
(see above)
Musical Mosaic – Saturday, February 20
A full day celebrating every single one of our bands and orchestras, grades 6–12, performing back-to-back in the PAC. It's one of the coolest days of the year — you get to watch our program's full range, from 6th grade beginners to Wind Symphony. Behind the scenes, the committee handles things like food, raffle basket coordination, decorations, and day-of set-up — a fun mix of creative and logistical work, and a great way to meet other band and orchestra families.
For both events, we need help with decorations, food, communications, set-up, and raffles — and vendors, for Jingle Mingle specifically. No experience required, just enthusiasm! Whether you can commit to a few planning meetings or just want to jump in closer to the event, we'd love to have you.
Interested in helping plan either event? Just reply to this email and let me know which one — I'll connect you with the committee chairs!
