300 test drivers needed for Rockwall band fundraiser

Mayor declares April 21 “Rockwall High Band Day”

On April 21, 2012 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Rockwall High School Orange Wave Band will join Rockwall Ford for a fundraiser at Wilkerson-Sanders Memorial Stadium. The Drive One 4 UR School is a fundraiser to offset band costs such as marching equipment, clinicians, master classes, and competitions.

For each short test-drive in the stadium parking lot, Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to Rockwall High School Band Boosters (up to 300 test drives). In addition, Rockwall Ford will donate $10 per test drive. Test drives are free and 300 are needed to meet their goal of $9,000.

Participants must be 18 years or older and have a valid drivers’ license. One test-drive per household limit. Each drive will last 5-10 minutes.

In addition to the actual driving, live entertainment, food, a bake sale, silent auction, goody bags and more will be on site during the fundraiser. Mayor David Sweet is proclaiming April 21^stRockwall High School Band Day. The band needs community support to reach their goal and would like to invite families to bring a blanket, have a family picnic and join us for Rockwall Band Day!
