Band Chicken Dinner

We ordered BBQ chicken dinners from the Band Boosters  to support one of their big fund raisers. Each dinner was prepared "To-Go" and that chicken smelled mighty delicious while cooking on the grill!  Sam's Band Director, above, was very involved at every step of the way, and seemed to be working harder than everybody!
Pick-up was all afternoon, so I went up in the middle of a busy afternoon to retrieve our dinners.
Each dinner consisted of a half-chicken grilled with a special BBQ sauce, potatoe salad, green beans and a dinner roll. This was being sold for seven dollars per dinner with five dollars of the tickets we bought  going into Sam's personal band account. That seemed like a deal. Each band student is responsible for a certain amount of expenses that are incurred throughout the year for food while traveling, etc.
The chicken was very well cooked and there was so much served that it really made two meals.
That evening, I went up to take my scheduled turn volunteering  to help with the clean-up. To my surprise, I was only needed for 30 minutes because they were organized and had enough help to have finished early. I was very grateful to be able to come home much earlier than expected!
