If you are interested in building some credit with your Scrip Cash Cards, please have your order completed and check into the blue band box in the music room by the morning of September 24th. Or use PrestoPay and skip the box! Great for Fall Cleanups! For the new members, Scrip is a program where vendors provide a rebate (which varies) based off the face value of the card. Half will go directly to the band to offset expenses and half will go into your child’s band account. You will be amazed at how quickly this adds up. This can be used to offset the costs of membership fees, trips or to purchase band merchandise. There are hundreds of vendors offering almost every type of product and the percentages vary from 2% to 14%+ !. If you would like more information on how this program works, I would be happy to go over this one on one. Please remember if you are interested in ordering from Caraluzzi's, there are minimum order requirements so place a separate order via check. If the minimum is not made, your check will be returned. (It is not possible to reverse the PrestoPay orders.) Do not respond to the band email with any Scrip questions as the email will need to be forwarded to the coordinator; simply reach out directly to me and I would be happy to help!
