Adele's Cookie Recipe
About ten days to two weeks before the final competition and before the
last practice before the final competition, you call every band member's
parents.
Ask them to come to a pep rally for the band on the last practice before
the final competition.
Ask them to bring along a bag of cookies or a bag of candy. (This year
we also asked about 25 parents to bring a 6-pack of soda or juice.)
Collect all the cookies and candy.
Band does a full performance of show in street clothes for the parents,
friends, grandparents, etc. We yell and scream and really pump them up.
The night before the last competition, open up about 2/3 of the cookies
and candy that you've collected and put them in a very, very large
rubbermaid tub that has a cover on it (Those under the bed containers
work really well).
When opening up the bags, don't open all the same kind at once.
Alternate. Put layers of candy in between the cookies, because if you put
all the candy on top or in a different container, the first 20 or so kids
will take all the candy and there won't be any left for the rest of the
band.
Load the cookie salad on the instrument or prop truck to take to the
competition. Also make sure you have enough quart size zip-loc bags for
each band member.
After they perform, serve the cookie salad and sodas for a job well done.
If you should run out of cookies open the other 1/3 of the bags that you
have, if not, save them for end of year band party.
That's it.
