Music Bowl Program Ad Sales Info

It’s time to... AD TO THE STORM!


Help us fill the Program Book for the 2010 Music Bowl! Anyone can participate. You do not need to be a Marching Band member.  Students that sell ads for the Music Bowl Program Book receive 10% of the ad’s value back to their band account. These earnings can be used for band expenses.


Here's what to do:
  1. Download and print the Music Bowl Merchant Letter and Music Bowl Program Ad Form.
    • Forms can also be found at the bottom of the Music Bowl Home Page at http://www.dgsmusicbowl.com/, and are also available on the Communication Table in the Band Room.
  2. Give the Letter and Ad Form to your favorite merchants and see if they would like to support the Marching Mustangs by taking out an ad space in the Music Bowl Program Book.
    • If they say “YES”, ask them if they would like you to wait while they fill out the form or if you should come back. They also have the option of mailing all of the information to the address on the Ad Form.
    • If they say they would like to think about it, leave the form with them and tell them that you will check back with them in about a week.
    • If they decline to take out an ad, thank them for looking at the form.
All the information that the merchants need is on the ad form along with contact information should they have any questions. Ads are available in the following sizes: Full Page - $250.00, 1/2 page - $150.00, 1/4 page - $75.00 and 1/8 page (business card size) $40.00.

Let me know the businesses that you have contacted, so we avoid asking the same business multiple times. We don’t want to discourage merchants because multiple people are contacting them about the same ads. I will post the business names that have been contacted on a poster in the band room and will also send out emails with this information. Download the latest List of Contacted Business here (as of 9/03/10).

For every ad sold, we’ll add another lightning bolt to the poster located in the band hallway. Let’s build a storm!!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Program Ad Chairperson, Bonny Moore, by phone at (630)963-7258 or by email at Bowl-Program@MustangBandBoosters.com
