Summer Car Washes
Car washes are held during the summer months where students and parents can work to earn credits towards their band fees. Dates are determined and set up before school is out and published on the band calendar. Tickets can be pre sold too. Information will be emailed out about dates and how to earn credits.

#1 /#2 /#3 - at Bryant Bank in Jones Valley (Corner of Four Mile Post Road & Bailey Cove Road)  from 10 am until 2 pm.  Participation in the car washes will help with your band fees.  You do not have to work the entire car wash or every car wash; however, the more you work, the more you make!  Participants should arrive around 9:30 am and bring $3 towards a pizza lunch. 

Pre-Sale Tickets are $5 each or it will be $8 per car the day of the car wash. You will earn 100% of your pre-sale ticket sales.  If you work the day of the car wash, 90% of the total sales and 100% of the tips will be divided up evenly within the workers present.
