10/13/18 - Message from MusicCounts!
Hi, MusicCounts! folks! Quick email about some upcoming dates and events, for Cantonstock (November 3, 12 - 4 pm):
And, our next MC! meeting is October 15, 7 pm, CHS teachers' lounge. As always, thank you so much for all you do to make this fundraiser a success!
CAKEWALK!
Cantonstock’s coming up – Saturday, November 3, 12 – 4 pm! One of the features of our Cantonstock musical arcade is the cakewalk. This is a really easy way to make money and kids just love it. For those of you who are not familiar, each kid pays a ticket, and then they walk around numbered squares while music plays. When the music stops, the kids stop and then a number is drawn. The kid standing on the corresponding numbered square wins a cake.
We need about 150 cakes! If you can, bring some with you to Cantonstock! To make 2 cakes, you will need a package of (nut-free!) cake mix and 2 disposable aluminum (round or square) cake pans. Bake the cake in the 2 pans. You do not need to take the cake out of the pans. Simply frost and decorate the top. The key here is to make it delightfully goopy. Top it with tons of sprinkles, gummy worms, you name it! Be creative! Bring your cakes with you to CHS on November 3. If you are planning on baking, email us at CantonMusicCounts@gmail.com and tell us how many you can bring, so we can get a rough count. Your culinary efforts are much appreciated!
- Sponsor your favorite student musician for Cantonstock, on or before Thursday, October 18! Easiest way is to do it online at www.musiccountsincanton.org, or, send the form previously sent via email to school with your kid, by October 18!
- One of the most fun (lucrative!) parts of the Cantonstock musical arcade is the cakewalk. Kids love it. We need about 150 cakes to make it work. Details below. Bring a cake (or two, or more!) to Cantonstock, and you'll likely take some home again, too!
- Consider volunteering at Cantonstock. Fun, easy, great way to meet fellow music parents, feel free to schedule around your kid's performance. We especially need adults at the musical arcade - it's easy - you'll be keeping an eye on the CHS kids who will run the games. Claim your spot now - sign up through the MC! website or directly at this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904084ea5af2ca31-adult

9/1/2018 - School Year and Cantonstock Kick-Off!
2018-19 School Year kick-off!
Hello from MusicCounts!
Cantonstock, our biggest fundraiser of the year, is approaching before you know it - Saturday, November 3, 12-4 pm! This is a quick update on upcoming events, deadlines and ways you can help. You'll find this info on our website, too. We'll update on volunteer opportunities at Cantonstock in coming weeks.
First - our next meeting is Monday, October 15, 7:00 p.m., in the CHS teachers' lounge. Join us if you'd like to pitch in or have a great idea for Cantonstock!
Second - student sponsorships. If you know a student musician who will be playing at Cantonstock, then you know a kid who needs a 2018 Cantonstock t-shirt! Every kid who has a sponsorship in any amount is eligible for a prize drawing; every kid who collects at least $50 in sponsorships gets a Cantonstock T. Sponsorship form is attached, and you'll find the online donation form on the “SPONSOR OR DONATE” section of the website. Deadline is Thursday, October 18. We love to see those t-shirts dashing around at Cantonstock and all year long!
Third - raffle and silent auction items. The raffle and silent auction takes center stage for our fundraising! If you have items for a raffle or auction prize, let us know. Think everything from small items that kids love (games, Legos, sports team swag) to beautiful gift baskets or gift certificates, on up to terrific experiences - we'd love to find concert tickets, a weekend at a vacation house, a golf foursome ... maybe you know someone who can offer an interior design consult, a dinner party cooked in-house, a music performance, yard clean-up, a spa day ... Pass on raffle and auction ideas by October 10 so we can recognize donations in the program. If you know a business who'd like to sponsor MC! with a donation or a raffle/auction prize, let us know.
Aside from all of this - there are a lot of new music teachers at the schools this year - find your kid's teacher and say hi!
Thanks so much, and contact us with any questions, comments, ideas!
