They will also have information on sponsorship because the band bought a new 27 foot trailer because they expanded the Steel Drum Band this year and this trailer remains bare and needs sponsorship so they can add logos to the trailer that gets taken to every event and makes a great traveling billboard.The Mustangs will have tickets to their last fundraiser of the year.
