Winter WonderBAND Frequently Asked Questions!
Q: What is the Winter WonderBAND Fundraiser?
A: It’s a fun dinner and silent auction held in conjunction with our annual holiday concert. Student attendance at the concert is required, but participation in the Winter WonderBAND dinner and activities is optional (though highly encouraged!).
Q: When and where is the event?
A: WWB is held at the Champion HS Cafeteria and the concert is held at the Champion HS auditorium. Doors at the front of school will open at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, December 8th - we recommend that if you are in the first band performing that night, you join us by 5:30 when dinner begins so you have plenty of time to eat before call time. Dinner will end at 7pm. The Silent Auction is held in the foyer outside of the cafeteria. Peruse the available items before and after you eat to place your bids!
Q: Do students need tickets?
A: Yes. Anyone eating dinner or taking photos with Santa—including band students—needs to purchase a ticket.
Q: Who can attend?
A: Everyone! Invite family and friends to enjoy dinner, support the band through the auction, and listen to beautiful holiday music from our hardworking students.
Q: Will reserved tables be available?
A: Yes! You can purchase a reserved table for 8, ensuring you have seats saved when the cafeteria fills up.

Q: Do I get anything else with my meal ticket?

Q: What about the silent auction?
A: The silent auction will be in the foyer right outside the cafeteria. Items come from band sections, band parents, and local businesses. You can browse and bid even if you’re not eating dinner. Look out for favorites like custom-made Nutcrackers of our band students—these always go quickly! If you would like to help organize your student's marching section's silent auction basket, please click here! We need one parent/guardian from each section to help with this. The auction stays open through the evening and closes 10 minutes after the last song of the final concert.

A: No. Bidding is open to everyone, regardless of whether or not you have a meal ticket.

Q: Can I do anything to help get ready for this fun event?
Yes! You can sign up to help facilitate the silent auction basket for your child's section AND be on the lookout for the sign up to help set up on the day of the event!
We cannot wait to see you there!
