Hire a Band
To make a little extra money for club and sports trips in high school, I remember selling baked goods and washing cars. The marching band of Bowie High School in Austin, Texas, has had a completely different idea.
You can “hire” the band by bidding on a performance through eBay. You have until October 10th to name the highest price and pick the place. The ad says specifically that they “will arrange for local pickup only (no shipping),” but they are happy to take an offer that they can’t refuse. In other words, cover the cost of the trip to wherever you are, and they will come play.
The band is attempting to raise enough money to cover the expenses for a trip to the Fiesta Bowl National Band Championship.
Don’t need or have room for the full 250-member marching band.? Then bid on the 25-member jazz band or the 20-member steel drum band! What better way to wake up the neighbors!
