What is an Invitational?
An invitational is a marching band field show in which high school marching bands are judged in a number of categories (such as music and marching & maneuvering) and then ranked within their class. Bands are grouped in classes (A, AA, AAA, AAAA) based on their size and/or their ability.
The Godwin Band Boosters sponsor the Godwin Invitational as an important means of fundraising. We earn money to buy instruments and equipment, subsidize the cost of parents chaperoning spring trip, as well as other necessary expenses required by the band.
WE NEED YOU!!!
This show requires MANY volunteers (adults and students) to be a success!! Working at the Field Show benefits our students directly and you’ll have fun working with our great students and parents in the process! We have lots of volunteer opportunities:
Gate Monitors, Stand Monitors, Parking, Registration, Guides, Building Monitors, First Aid, Competition Staging Area Monitors, Food Ticket Sales, Concession Stand, Equipment Movement, Set-up, Maintenance, Clean-up, Floaters
Over the next few weeks, you should be getting a call to help out at the show. Please volunteer some of your time only if it’s for a couple hours.
Another way to HELP …
The less we purchase the more money we make!
Please bring Sodas. We need each band member to bring in a 12 pack of soda (brand names, please) to the band room between October 29th – November 2nd.
ALSO,
Baked Goods would be GREAT!!
Please have your student bring pre-wrapped or bagged homemade goodies when they come to work the day of the Field Show.
Don’t like to bake? Boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts are always a crowd favorite!
Opportunity to Sponsor a Trophy!
You can sponsor a trophy in honor of your band member!
Their name & dedication will appear in the program and be announced at the field show awards ceremony.
Your child will also get to present the trophy to the winners!
Cost is $30.
