Congratulations to the FCMB on their SUPERIOR rating at States! All of your hard work is evident, and we are so proud of you! As you all likely know by now, Concert Band has begun; however, marching band continues as long as the Cardinals continue to advance in the playoffs.

This Week’s Schedule

• Friday, November 13th: Home Playoff Game vs. Canton McKinley (call time 5:15 PM). Layer up — it is going to be COLD! This is an OHSAA playoff game; therefore, all OHSAA ticket rules apply. Mentor passes and senior citizen discounts will not be valid. All seating is general admission, so there is no reserved seating. Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for students. All persons must have a ticket. Only preschool children will be admitted for free.
• Saturday, November 14th: Mattress Fundraiser! Details below.

Mattress Fundraiser — Saturday, November 14th

We’re excited to host our 2nd Annual Mentor Bands Mattress Fundraiser at the high school!

A pop-up showroom will feature 25+ top name-brand mattresses at huge discounts. The best part? No selling, collecting money, or distributing products. We just need your help spreading the word!

Our goal: Each family finds at least one person who needs a new mattress to check out the event. 1 in 4 households will buy a mattress this year — your personal referrals make a huge difference!

Easy Ways to Help

• Opt into our text campaign: Text MENTOR26 to 216-435-6900 to receive simple tools to share (max 5 texts).
• Share the referral coupon (attached) with family, friends, and co-workers — include your student’s name! Students earn gift cards for each sale they refer.
• Promote our Facebook event: Join and invite friends here: Mattress Fundraiser Facebook Event

If asked — “Why should we buy at this event and not a retail store?” Here is your answer:

• Same name-brand mattresses and warranties as retail — at lower prices
• Easy financing options & nationwide shipping available
• Friendly, no-pressure staff and exceptional customer service
• Funds raised support our music department!

Thanks for your support!

Thinking Ahead — Upcoming Events

• November 16th: FCMB Award Ceremony at 6:30 PM in the FAC. This is an opportunity for the directors to recognize the students for all of their hard work throughout the Marching Band season. We would love to see you all there!
