Hey ABOB!

We are just a little over a month away from our annual ABOB Music Matters Virtual Auction. This is a fun way to support our incredible instrumental music program in Alton Community School District #11 As we prepare for the event, we are in need of donations to make it a huge success again this year. We are asking each of our M100 sections to collect items for specifically themed baskets. We are in need of parents & family members who would be willing to head up the collections for their favorite sections.

If you are able to help please *comment* below or reach out to the instrumental music teachers and Jodi Baum.

High School sections include: Flutes, Clarinets, Saxophones/Low Reeds, High Brass, Low Brass, and Percussion.
We would also be grateful for donations from High School Orchestra, AMS Band and Orchestra, and Elementary Band and Orchestra.

Here are some examples of basket themes:
Beach Trip, Travel, Pampered Pets Basket, Spa Theme, Pamper/Treat Yourself, Picnic, Family Night, Arts & Crafts, Outdoor Adventure, Pool Party, Easter Baskets, Summer Fun, Dorm Room, Coffee, Gift Card Tree, Date Night, "When Life Gives You Lemons", Baking, Gardening, .... and more, be creative!

Baskets can be dropped off at the high school no later than Friday March 13th, 2026. Please reach out with questions! Thank you in advance for making our ABOB Music Matters Virtual Auction a BIG success again this year!
