On Sunday, August 13th, the Salem Band will be heading to their annual Band Camp, at the Greenbrier Youth Camp in Anthony WV.
While there, the kids will have limited access to cellphones & Internet, as reception is spotty.

Congratulations to our two winners of the new Polaris ATVs! The drawing was held on Friday, and both have now been awarded and delivered.
The winner of the green ATV was Steve Edwards, from Bassett. The blue ATV was won by Judd Poindexter, of Salem.
Thank you to everyone who helped to support this raffle, and to all the ticket purchasers!
We are asking that each band member sell five raffle tickets. Tickets are $20.00 each, each ticket is eligible for both drawings, 1 drawing per four wheeler. Checks should be made payable to the Salem Band Boosters. If the band students sell 800 tickets, Mr.Wilkes will do something unforgettable… The company that sells the most raffle tickets will win a pizza dinner out together and a movie pass! If you need more tickets, please see your General.
All money and unsold tickets are due to your General by Thursday October 1, 2015. Two winning tickets will be drawn at the last home game on November 6, 2015. The winners do not need to be present. Please make sure that each ticket sold has complete contact information, including a telephone number.
Some facts about the four wheelers:
Winners will receive DMV title and be responsible for title fees and safety courses. A $35.00 fee for any returned check will apply, and that ticket will not be placed in drawing until both the check and return fee are paid.
