This and next weekend, students from the music program will be visiting neighborhoods in El Toro High School's district in Lake Forest to conduct our Hang Tag Fundraiser. We will be hanging the tags above on front doors to ask for donations to the music program.

We need parents to volunteer to supervise the kids. Sign-ups for chaperone duties are here. Sign-ups are still needed for the weekend of December 11th and 12th, so please volunteer if you are able.

If you are in a neighborhood that has not been covered yet, please reach out to one of the Boosters, if not our President directly, to volunteer. There are a good number of neighborhoods that we have yet to reach, so please help out if you can.

We are holding our annual Mickman's Gift-It-Forward Online Holiday Sales Fundraiser! Order your wreaths, centerpieces, and other decorative holiday items online from Mickman's, and they will donate $8 to the El Toro High School Music Program for each item ordered. Items ordered will ship directly to your door via FedEx.

This is a great fundraiser for us, as placing an order is super-easy. Also, anyone can order online (using the fundraiser code ELTOROCA004): friends, neighbors, colleagues, and relatives, from anywhere in the United States. You can also have items shipped to recipients of your choosing as a gift, with a unique gift message included.

The deadline for ordering is Wednesday, December 1st.

To place an order:

• Visit the Mickman's Gift-It-Forward website.
• Select item(s) on the web store and proceed to checkout.
• If the items selected are being sent as gifts, fill out the ‘Christmas Greeting Card’ form with your personal holiday message. This seasonal message will be printed on a festive Christmas Card which will accompany the gift.
• Input 'ELTOROCA004' for the coupon code to make a $8 donation (included in the product price) to the non-profit organization you have chosen for each item in your order. The  donation applies to Holiday Evergreen Products only, as designated for each of the eligible products.
  Note: The donation is possible for these competitively priced Holiday Evergreens because you are purchasing direct from the manufacturer, with no middleman involved.

The downloadable PDF flyer below has more details.

Evergreen products shipped to Southern California are shipped to arrive no earlier than December 1st, to ensure that the fresh evergreens last through the Holidays. So now is the time to get your order in to ensure your decorations arrive in plenty of time for the holiday season. Shipping of all orders takes place up until December 15th. Please allow at least 1-3 business days for processing and then 2-5 business days for shipping after placing your order.

Please continue to push the sales of the Disney Opportunity Raffle Tickets.  This is an amazing fundraiser for us, and the tickets basically sell themselves if promoted correctly.  Consider that for a $10 ticket, people can win Disney Gift Cards valued at over $850!  These cards can be used any time and at any Disney location in the world. So if you have family near Florida, or in France, these cards could be used to go to Disney World or Disney Paris! Parents and students—please do what you can to promote this fundraiser as we are rapidly nearing the end of the season! This fundraiser will end on Wednesday, November 10th, during the dine-out at Wahoo's Fish Taco, where the winners will be announced at 7 PM sharp.

Hope to see you all there on Wednesday night for the announcement of the winners. Until then, good luck with your sales efforts!

We are still working towards meeting our projected budget for this season, which is rapidly coming to a close. Our program is funded by parent contributions.

Please see the letter below from our Boosters President, with details on our financial situation and fundraising efforts, and on how you can help.

Our Disneyland raffle fundraiser has begun! We are having a raffle to win prizes, with the grand prize being four Disneyland Anaheim Resort Part Hopper Passes (with parking).

After practice on September 30th, ten raffle tickets were distributed to the students last week, to sell to family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and anyone interested in supporting our music program. More tickets are available for students who sell through their first batch. Please ask your kids about it if they haven't notified you already.

Tickets are $10 each. Each ticket provides an opportunity to win one of the following prizes:

• Grand Prize: 4-1 Day Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Tickets (Peak Day) plus parking—a prize package worth over $800.
• Second Prize: 2-1 Day, 1 Park Disneyland Resort Park Tickets (Peak Day)—a prize package worth over $300.

We are asking every student to each sell 15-20 tickets, which will help raise close to $10,000 to help with the expenses that we have accrued throughout the music season.

Sellers Rewards: for every 10 tickets sold, students will have the opportunity to win a $10 gift card to either Canes, Starbucks, In-n-Out, Chipotle, or Subway.

A winner will be drawn every Thursday, starting October 7th, until November 4th. The sooner and more you sell, the better your chance to win!

On November 10th, the student who sold the MOST tickets will be rewarded with a $50 gift card.

Please return all monies (cash or check payable to ETHS IMPB) and ticket stubs with purchaser’s information in an envelope to the music room.

We will announce the winners of the Grand Prize, Second Prize, and Most Tickets Sold at our Dine-out at Wahoo’s, Foothill Ranch, on Wednesday, November 10th at 7 PM.

The sale will go now thru November 10th. Further details are available in the flyer below.

All students participating in Marching Band and Color Guard must have a Health Screening Form completed by a medical professional and turned in prior to the first day of Band Camp (date TBA). We have partnered with Saddleback Family Urgent Care to turn this into a fund-raising opportunity. The cost of the screening is $40, though 50% of the proceeds will be donated back to the program.

Screenings will be held on Saturday, June 26th. We can schedule additional screenings on the 27th, if necessary. Students will be screened at the Mission Viejo clinic (the Lake Forest office closed).

It is also fine to arrange to have a screening completed through your own family physician. Just be sure to have your physician complete the necessary forms, linked at the bottom of this page.

If you have any questions, please contact Barb Sellke by e-mail or at (949) 307-7676.
