🖤 STATE FINALS WISH LIST/SUPPORT– LET’S SUPPORT OUR PANTHERS! 🖤

** EDIT: We are in need the most, for 2 helium tanks.**

As we prepare for State Finals, we have put together a wish list of items that would help support our students and make their experience even better!

If you would like to contribute, you can check out our Amazon Wish List here, OR you may contribute monetarily:

🛒 State Finals Wish List:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3MOMQ1L6GXX10?ref_=wl_share

A few things to know:

• Items do NOT have to be purchased through Amazon! If you can find something locally, that is absolutely fine.
• If you purchase an item locally, please coordinate pickup or drop-off with us so we can keep everything organized.
• We kindly ask that items not be sent directly with the students or dropped off with Mrs. Markiewicz. We would prefer to coordinate all local donations and deliveries ourselves.

Have questions or want to coordinate a donation?

📧 Booster Contact Karen Dennis: [email protected]

📧 Anna Miller: [email protected]

💙 Want to contribute through PayPal? You can also send a contribution to Anna Miller using her PayPal link/QR code.

Every donation, big or small, helps us make State Finals a memorable experience for our students. We appreciate our amazing band family and community more than words can say!

Thank you for always showing up for our Panthers! 🖤

🎉🖤🤍 Marching Panthers Travel Practice and Band Party! 🤍🖤🎉

A bit on the late side but that's OK. What a night last week! Our Marching Panthers had an absolute BLAST at the KAHM barn after their practice at Indiana Wesleyan University ! 🥳 Seeing these kids let loose, laugh, and enjoy time together after all their hard work makes it even more special. They’ve earned every bit of fun! ❤️

A HUGE shout-out to the Kelley Agricultural Historical Museum for hosting our band and giving us such a great place to celebrate! And a big THANK YOU to Hacienda Mexican Restaurants Kokomo for providing food! 🎁 Your generosity and support mean so much to our kids and our band family!

We are so grateful for the local businesses and community members who continue to show up for our students. It takes a village, and we are lucky to have such an amazing one!

Lastly, we definitely don't want to forget the parents who helped put this together and show up for these kiddos to make sure they had a safe and fun time!🖤🤍

Thank you all for helping us make memories that go beyond the field! 🥁🎶🐾
