Tickets On Sale Now for Band Together

“On Wisconsin! On Wisconsin! Stand up, Badgers, sing!” the UW-Madison’s Marching Band is high stepping into gymnasium on April 3, for a fundraising event to benefit Nicolet Unified School District Foundations. Tickets are available now at the Nicolet Unified School District’s four offices for $12.

Nicolet High School Foundation’s Executive Director, Chris Macon, said she anticipates the district wide collaboration will promote camaraderie between the foundations.

“I like the concept of working together on something,” said Macon.

The day begins at 12 p.m. with a free community tailgate with Bucky Badger. Local school bands are performing throughout the tailgating social that runs until 1:30 p.m. 

Maple Dale-Indian Hill Foundation Trustee, Sharon Shapiro, said Bucky is going to have to share the court with another mascot eager to show his school spirit.

“The Maple Dale Dragon, our middle school mascot, is looking forward to showing his MD pride,” Shapiro said.

The tailgate party is offering concessions along with a silent auction, ticket raffles and an Instrument “Petting Zoo”.

Brass Bell is providing horns for the Instrument “Petting Zoo” where attendees can dance to the beat of their own drum, and try their hands at a plethora of instruments.

UW-Madison’s Marching Band’s performance of their beloved “Fifth Quarter” begins at 2 p.m.

All the proceeds will be distributed to the school district’s four foundations – Fox Point-Bayside Foundation, Glendale-River Hills Foundation, Maple Dale-Indian Hill Foundation and Nicolet High School Foundation.

“We hope to raise some much-needed funds for our wonderful schools while sponsoring a terrific performance and having lots of fun with our community,” Shapiro said.
