All Ada Music Department students, grades 6-12, are now selling tickets for the annual Ada Music Boosters Chicken barbecue, to be held before Ada’s first home football game of the season, Friday, Sept. 6, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
The annual Chicken barbecue is a major fund-raiser for the Ada Music Boosters and proceeds benefit numerous projects for Ada’s instrumental and vocal music programs. Tickets are being sold now through Aug. 30. Contact any band or choir member to purchase tickets, or call Dave Smittle at 419-230-8147.
Priced at $8, these popular dinners include one-half barbecue grilled chicken, green beans, cheesy potatoes and a dinner roll. Cold drinks are available the day of pick-up for 50 cents each.
"We are again using JT Express for our annual chicken barbecue dinner because they consistently offer a high quality, delicious meal for our event. The Ada Music Boosters chicken barbecue is a long-standing Ada tradition because so many find it to be an easy way for families to enjoy a quick and convenient dinner before the first home football game of the season. Hundreds of dinners are sold every year and we encourage you to buy your tickets early again this year," said Smittle.
Each band/choir student has a dozen tickets to sell. Additional tickets are available by contacting Smittle at 419-230-8147. Music families should plan to have all tickets sold and money returned by noon on Friday, Aug. 30. Checks are welcome and should be made payable to the Ada Music Boosters.
Smittle added: "Thank you for your assistance in making this annual fund-raiser a success for the Boosters.
"High school students in the band and choir will be travelling to New York City in the Spring of 2014 for an educational trip and are able to earn money towards their travel expenses through this sale. We thank the community for your support.
