The Bayonne High School Band Foundation would like to take this opportunity to thank our supporters who have helped us to a fantastic start over the past few months, in our fundraising efforts on behalf of the Bayonne High School Marching Band and Indoor Percussion/Color Guard. For their support of our Pasta Night held on May 2, we thank: the Robbin’s Reef Yacht Club, Altamura Bakery, Buon Appetito, La Guardiola Gourmet Pizza & Bistro, Longhorn Steakhouse, M&R Miller Auto, ShopRite of Bayonne, 22nd Street Meat Market, Frank Theaters, Dawn Papson (Thirty One Gifts), the BHS School Store, John Cassidy, San Vito Pizzeria, Pizza Masters, El Aguila Dorado, Dillin Tires, European Wax Center, Walmart, Stop & Shop, Judicke’s Bakery, Kathy Wood (Initials Inc.) and Kathryn Weeks. And a very special thank you to Tom Babnis, who so graciously donated his 50/50 winnings to the Band. For their support of our Vendor Fair/Flea Market held on June 13, 2015, we thank: Ms. Mercun and the staff at Midtown Community School; Vendors: Kathy Woods (Initials Inc.), Dana Mason (Mary Kay Cosmetics), Carol Krieg, Paulette Vasallo, Vincent Cirillo, A & J Consulting Services LLC, Nancy Ortiz, A Plus Graphic Screen Printing, Suzanne Vreeland, Cassidy Svercauski, Rob Svercauski, and for their amazing food: Spices and Glazes of J2NY LLC and Betty Castaldo of Moonwalk Entertainment. For their support at the Bayonne Hometown Fair: the residents of Bayonne who supported us, either by stopping by to play drums, buying a t-shirt or raffle, making a donation or just stopping by to say hello. We hope you will come see the Band’s halftime performances this football season during the BHS home games. And finally, we would be remiss if we didn’t thank the BHS Board of Education, Dr. Patricia McGeehan, Mr. Leo Smith, Mr. Robert C. Craig, Mr. Timothy Craig and Mr. Richard Baccarella, as well as our amazing band staff, students in the BHS band and their families and friends. They are the foundation of our program and the people who make each season possible.
