Back by popular demand…HAPPENINGS!

How do I get started?

1. Pick A Theme Or Idea

2. Decide When And Where To Host The Party

3.  Figure Out The Details

4.  Decide How Many People You Can Host

5. Decide How Much Is An Appropriate Charge

6. Donate Your Happening With A Description Of The Event To The Auction

How do people buy a happening?  At the auction people buy a "ticket" to attend the event for the price you set until tickets sell out at the number of people you set. 

Then what?  Have the happening and have a great time! Meet new people and enjoy the event! The band benefits from the proceeds made from the tickets sold to you happening. For example, if you have a happening for 10 people and tickets sold for $20 each then you had a great time and made $200 for the band!

What are some ideas that have been successful in the past?

• Pizza And Jam Session For Band Members

• Host A Watch Party For Avalanche/Broncos/Nuggets (Watch The Game On The TV)

•  Dinner Party

• Wine And Cheese Party

• Game Night And S’mores

• Dart Warz Party

• Mexican Fiesta And Margarita Night

• The ideas are endless! Be bold and create a happening.

The Auction Committee relies on Section leaders to help put their section basket together to gather and provide your section’s “basket” for the auction.  

What’s the process?

1. Reach out to your team and pick a theme.

2. Send your choice to terraprice9@gmail.com to ensure that the theme is available (first come first taken) and receive confirmation. 

3. Decide upon the total amount for your section (each member contributing). 

4. Purchase and collect items for your theme & give the total amount upon delivery of items. 

5. All items need to be in a nice receptacle for the items: basket, decorative box, or something that makes your items “pleasing to the eye”.

6. Arrange for the “basket” to be delivered or picked up – contact terraprice9@gmail.com

7. Your section “basket” Must be delivered or ready for pick up by September 24th
