Band on the Run

Page 1

The Mount Desert Island High School Band will travel to London England on December 26, 2010 to perform in the Silver Anniversary New Year’s Day Parade and Festival. This is a wonderful opportunity for the band members, but they will need considerable funding to make the trip. Crow Athletics has joined with the MDI Music Boosters for a fun filled 24-hour marathon. The objective is to cover the 3080 miles, ‘as the crow flies” between MDI and London, England and raise a lot of money! Runners and walkers of all ages are invited to the MDIHS track on Saturday, June 19th beginning at 10:00AM and continuing until 10:00AM the following day, June 20th for 24 hours straight. Walkers and runners may come and participate at any time, stay as long or as little as they wish and help the Band get to London. All participants are encouraged to solicit pledges per mile, per lap or obtain one time donations from family friends and co-workers. There will be hourly track prizes and grand prizes will be awarded to top fundraisers and those that complete the longest distances. Bands will perform live through out the Marathon. Food will be available throughout the event and a Pancake Breakfast will be served by the Bar Harbor Rotary Club on Sunday morning. The breakfast price is $5.00 per person and if you bring your Dad for a Father’s Day treat, he’ll eat for ½ price. The Music Boosters will have collection trailers at the school to accept your returnable bottles and cans, too. Step up! Please join us for “Band on the Run”. Have fun while challenging yourself, your family, friends or co-workers. Collect your pledges and help the MDI High School Band run to London.
