PORT TOWNSEND— A fundraiser for the Chimacum Band scheduled for Sunday has been postponed.
Chimacum High School principal Whitney Meissner said today (Saturday) that a block party on the beach near the Pourhouse at 2231 Washington St., which was originally set for Sunday afternoon, will be rescheduled.
The preferred date is Oct. 25 but nothing has been confirmed, she said.
The high school band, the only band in the state that will march in parade in Hawaii on Pearl Harbor Day, has raised nearly half the funds it needs for the trip.
The band will march in the Dec. 7 parade to commemorate the 73rd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which prompted U.S. entry into World War II.
Each student needs to raise $1,400.

Direct contributions can be sent to Chimacum Band Boosters Association, PO Box 631, Chimacum, WA 98325.
Those who bring contributions to the school at 91 West Valley Road can get receipts for tax purposes, Meissner said.
