GENTRY -- For the next 2 weeks, each customer who orders a "helping" of Blue & Gold products will also be "helping" the Gentry Band.
The band will be selling Blue & Gold products -- sausage, chicken tenderloin fritters and thick-sliced bacon -- to raise funds for upcoming competition fees, food and travel related to the band.
Products may be purchased from Jan. 22 until Feb. 16 and are not available in stores.
"Blue & Gold is the perfect fundraiser for us," said Crystal Wood, coordinator of the effort. "Everyone loves these products."
The Gentry Band will be involved in Super Audition, clinics, all-state auditions, conventions, concert assessments and more this year and needs support to help with money for travel, fees and food to attend these daylong events.
The students practice during class time and most days after school to prepare for events like these. Last year their hard work paid off and they received an invitation to come to Hot Springs for the 2018 Honor Ensembles.
"This is a great honor for our band," Wood said.
To place an order directly, call 479-233-9021 or send an email to [email protected].
Family owned and operated in Jones, Okla., since 1969, Blue & Gold Sausage Co. helps more than 800 groups raise money for trips, community projects, equipment and more. More information on Blue & Gold products is available online at www.blueandgoldsausage.com.
