This year, the theme for the year-end banquet will be Mardi Gras.   Plan to spend "Fat Tuesday" on Saturday, June 7 in the ETHS Gym with N'awlins-style food, fun and a salute to the graduating seniors in the instrumental music and guard programs.

Donations, anyone?  Thanks to many helpful boosters, we have nearly everything for the banquet.  One item that's still needed is one or more sets of white Christmas lights.  If you have a set to lend for the evening, please contact Karen Land (kwland3@cox.net).  As usual, we will always accept cash.

 Thanks in advance, Karen

What if the ETHS IMPB earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Well, now we can! GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. You use it just as you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results.
 
Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter "ETHS IMPB" (or "El Toro High School Instrumental Music and Pageantry Boosters") as the charity you want to support. Just 500 of us searching four times a day will raise about $7300 in a year without anyone spending a dime! And, be sure to spread the word!
