Hey everyone, the Queens Intermediate Band is running a fundraiser! We're not selling any stuff nobody wants that's too expensive, we're just accepting donations. No amount is too small or too large, so if you've got a few bucks to spare, consider throwing a few of them our way! All the money raised goes to support our students and their excellence in band!
