Not sure why there is no local publicity on this, but also wonder who pays for this......

The local high school team has been invited to play in a championship invitational tournament starting today in Cary, North Carolina. I hope that they are successful, and bring home a championship, but at the same time, isn't this more of an AAU type of event, where the kids will be showcased for potential players to go in the summer baseball draft.

The high schools use a similar model to the colleges for fundraising for athletics. CSHS's athletic booster organization is Cougar Club as opposed to the 12th Man Foundation at A&M. Like most high school trips this it is a combination of parents responsible for costs not picked up by outside fundraisers and Cougar Club, etc.

The CSHS Orchestra played at Carnegie Hall last Tuesday in New York and got very little local press as well. Of course Carnegie Hall controls all the video and images very tightly. CSHS has an Orchestra parent booster club called ENCORE that held silent auctions, dinners, etc to help raise money for trip costs to help keep it reasonable for the students/parents family on what they had to cover. A big shoutout to Suddenlink and one of their contractors for donating a vehicle/tralier, drivers and gas to get all the instruments to New York and back last week.

This community has traditionally opened its pocketbooks to the high schools for events like this very quietly behind the scenes. Having had the opportunity to solicit donations for both athletics and fine arts trips over the years, I would like to thank all the local businesses and individuals who give back to their community in so many ways.

There was no publicity probably because it was in North Carolina. Thats far and stuff.

Not trying to offend but this is not a "news" story. If it was a championship game, perhaps it would be. This is important for mom & dad but meh for anyone else. Again, not trying to offend.
