Dessert Auction Information

Silent Dessert Auction Information
'Tis the season for desserts, merriment, and music! This is one of our favorite and most anticipated fundraisers of the year! Please read the information below carefully.

Each Buchanan Instrumental Music Student (Band, Colorguard, Orchestra, & Percussion) is responsible for providing a dessert to be auctioned at the concert.

Homemade or attractive purchased desserts are encouraged (Homemade preferred). The dessert:

• Should serve 8 or more.
• May be holiday, winter season, and/or music program-themed. (Not required)
• Should be placed on an attractive platter or in a container that will be part of the auctioned dessert.
• Inexpensive platters can be found at Home Goods, Dollar Store, Target etc.

Please use clear, non-iridescent cellophane wrap for your dessert. Clear wrap and ribbon will be available if you would like assistance. Remember, presentation is important. REFRIGERATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, so please consider this when selecting your dessert item, since the desserts will be set out all day.

IMPORTANT: Please attach a 3”x5” card to your dessert with the following information:

• Dessert name
• Number of servings
• Include a recipe card (optional)
• Donating Family/Student's Name
• Which program the student is part of (band or orchestra)
• Approximate value
• Please mention if nuts are included
