GOSHEN —

The Goshen High School Band Boosters are in the running for a $25,000 Pepsi Refresh Grant.

But they need the public's help to win.

Those who want to help, can go online to http://www.refresheverything.com/goshenband?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=good_luck and vote.

The money, if won, will go toward: getting groups to performances, $4,000; help pay the color guard director, $9,000; additional percussion staff, $7,000; and repair trailers to transport equipment, $5,000.

The Goshen Band Boosters is trying to raise $44,000 to get the Crimson Marching Band through its season. The boosters are dealing with the alleged embezzellment of more than $10,000 by its treasurer.
