Dear Sibley Alums:

I am thrilled to inform you that the Sibley Marching Band (SMB) was chosen to represent MN in the National Independence Day Parade in Washington, D.C., on July 4, 2018!

To make this trip of a lifetime possible, we are raising $91,490 to cover travel, accommodations, and related expenses.  And we’re almost there…only $8,540 to go!

Please consider helping us meet our fundraising goal by going to henrysibleyband.org  to donate.

What makes Sibley Marching Band unique:

*Only 58 members competed in 2017 against bands of 70-160, earning them the title of The Little Band That Could among their many fans.

*Their practice season is 2 weeks shorter than their competitors.

*They have moved up 1 division and placed 3^rd in state in just 5 short years.

*Membership has grown 70% over the past 4 years.

Why we need your help:

*$91,490: Band parents are committed to pay 100% of the cost to get each student to the parade in D.C.  All go or no go.

*42%: Sibley students qualify for free and reduced lunch program.

*$450: Marching band fee per student per year.

*100%: Students individually fundraise to help pay the marching band annual fee.

*20%: Students receive scholarships to help pay the marching band annual fee.

*$1,307: Per student cost of the D.C. trip.

"These kids have an incredible work ethic," says Amy Powers, Director of Bands at Henry Sibley High School. "They endure 6- to 9-hour practice days on a regular basis, in all kinds of weather. They are 100 percent focused and constantly pushing themselves to be better.  Participating in the National Independence Day Parade in Washington, D.C., will be the experience of a lifetime for all of us.”

More information about the band, the D.C. trip, and ways to donate is available at www.henrysibleyband.org.

Please help send the Little Band That Could to Washington, D.C., to perform in America’s National Independence Day Parade!  

Thank You!

I want to take a moment and thank the entire 40 year Reunion Committee, it was an outstanding event. The location was great, the food was fantastic and seeing all of our classmates was priceless. The only part I didn't like about the reunion was I did not get to talk to everyone. Michelle Bushman and Marcia Johnson, we will hook up again someday I hope. Thanks again to all involved. - Karen Lauppe

THE REUNION WAS A BIG SUCCESS
