Holiday Extravaganza Cookie Walk Cookie Sign ups!

Calling All Bakers! Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Family, Friends and Neighbors.  The famous Holiday Extravaganza Cookie Walk is upon us and we are hoping to add your family's favorite homemade cookies to our amazing tables. 

​

The cookie walk raises thousands of dollars for the Hampton Band programs across the district. We are looking for cookie donations from all band families: elementary, middle and high school, including guard, dance team and the indoor winter programs. We have a goal of 10,000 cookies this year, so it will take our entire community to reach that goal.

​

If you can help, please sign up below.  You can choose from one of the cookie types listed, or add your own favorite cookie.  Each donation = 48 cookies (or 4 dozen) of the same type. You are welcome to sign up for more than one type.  We do want to make sure we have a wide variety, and thus listed cookie types have limited slots. 

  

If possible, please plan to bring your donation plated on a holiday tray (from the Dollar Store works great) or a disposable container. 

Please sign-up by Nov 20th, so we can plan ahead. Additional instructions are contained in the sign-up. Thank you SO much for helping to continue the cookie walk tradition.

*Reminder: All marching band families, including guard and dance team, have an annual adult volunteer requirement, which is comprised of two general volunteer events and one for Holiday Extravaganza. (If you chaired an activity/fundraiser, that counts as two general and if you chair HE, that counts as all three. There also was an option to pay a fee to opt out). 

Thank you to everyone who has helped already this year and for the robust sign-ups for HE to come. It’s so appreciated!! 

If you have not completed your two general volunteer requirements (or signed up for the few additional opportunities yet to come) there’s only little more time to do so before invoices for the opt-out volunteer fee will be sent out. (We need some help with banquet set up and clean up and the indoor Winterguard show hosted at Hampton will need volunteers) 

Donations of items is greatly appreciated and it helps keep dues lower and maximizes fundraising, however, donations do not count towards your volunteer requirement. Fundraising is also separate from the volunteer requirement. If you have any questions, please email vppersonnel@hamptonbands.org
