On February 29th, the Music Boosters threw their trivia night along with a silent auction to help raise money for the school’s band. Trivia night started with teams decorating their tables and getting raffle tickets. Along with the trivia questions, the crowd played fun games. With the help of people who competed in trivia night and the silent auction the band was able to raise money for a few more marching band uniforms and some new instruments.
Students were asked about their confidence answering a majority of the trivia questions. Sheny Delgado, a junior, expressed, “There was the 1860s to 1990s category that we as a table were not prepared for, so we big-time bombed that category.”
John Hughes, a senior, said, “Yes, [because] them adults don’t know our songs for [pep] band.”
Peers commented on what their favorite part of Saturday night was. Grace White, a sophomore, commented, “Winning the cookies from the silent auction and running around with friends.”
Alyssa Sidwell, a junior, said her favorite part was “Eating the cookies my friend won.”
New Haven High spoke out about what section of the trivia night they liked the most. John Hughes commented that his favorite section was “video games.”
Keerstin Mason, a senior, expressed, “Music, because some of the groups went to New Haven and they could answer what the school song was.”
Thank you to all those who donated items and baked goods for the silent auction and to those who came out to support the band. Hope next year can be more exciting than the last.
