Year after year, dedicated parents along with family and friends help in a variety of fundraising efforts to give our band the things it needs to be successful. Here are a few of the things we do to raise money:

• Working the concession stands at Irving Schools Stadium
• Our annual "Taste of Nimitz" Dinner & Silent Auction in the spring with all proceeds going directly to the band. Last year this event brought in over $6,000! It is a huge project that takes months of planning and ALL boosters' involvement
• Going to CiCi's for 5th quarter after football games
• Selling Nimitz Spirit Items
• Plus miscellaneous individual fundraisers that are coordinated by our Fundraising Chairperson

Irving Schools Stadium (ISS) Concession Stands

Any of you who attend football games at the Irving Schools Stadium have supported the band every time you bought a drink or bag of popcorn!

The IBPA is the group that administers the concession stands at ISS. This board, working in with the Concession Stand Chairmen from the three high schools, organizes the operation of the stands. This includes buying and storing the product; buying and repairing the equipment; and staffing and bookkeeping.

Band Boosters from all three clubs staff the stands and the profits are then divided among the three high schools with a portion going to the school district.

At Nimitz, profits from the concession stands account for almost half of the money raised each year. It is critical to the success of this program to have your involvement. Parents, family and friends are all strongly encouraged to help work the stands at least twice. Sign up sheets are available at every Booster Club meeting.

All three Booster Clubs take care of concessions during regular season varsity football as well as soccer and track meets.
