Early morning serenade!

David Earp was the “lucky” winner of the Wake up Call by the band promotion. Over the past several weeks, area businesses had a display with five community members pictures taped to milk cartons. Donations were given to the person the donor would most like to see have an early morning song played in their honor. The winner was Earp who raised over $1,200. In total the promotion raised over $2,300. The money will go towards the purchase of new band uniforms which is expected to cost the program $40,000.                                            Photo by Elliot Kranz
