GCS will be partnering with Imperial Percussion to jointly participate in our largest fundraisers this winter.
IPT will be selling fireworks during New Year's time. On December 29th, 30th, and 31st from 3PM until closing (~11PM to midnight), they will be at the Top Dog Fireworks Warehouse at 20432 Northwest Freeway, Houston, TX 77065 which is on the 290 frontage road between Eldridge and 1960. Sales of the fireworks is indoors and is easy (essentially just handing them out to customers). We need as many volunteers to attend as possible to help any time during this fundraiser. Even if it is just a few hours on either day it would be helpful. Contact me and I'll formulate a schedule.
GCS will again be attending Mardi Gras in New Orleans. On the weekend of March 4 - 6 we will be marching parades in Metarie and downtown New Orleans. IPT will be sending a contingent of drummers to help us out. We've also booked the Galveston parade on February 26.
Please clear your schedules to help. The success of these fundraisers will greatly impact the ability of these two organizations to operate in 2011.
More details to follow.
