The Seminole Sound Spectacular on Saturday, October 10th will be celebrating its 39th Anniversary! This well-known and well-run show is one of the longest running marching band pageantry contests/festivals in the entire Southeastern United States. If you are new to the Booster program, Seminole Sound is an FMBC Marching Band competition that draws in bands from the Greater Tampa area and beyond. It is a fascinating day where everyone can be entertained by marching bands of all shapes, sizes and creative persuasions.
It is important to have all attention focused on this event as it is the 2nd largest fundraiser for the Booster program. If this event is done well and Mother Nature keeps it dry, we can see profits ranging from $15,000 - $25,000 - just from this one event. Last year we had 22 bands perform throughout the day and saw over 2,000 dedicated and hardworking students cross the Seminole HS Warhawk field. It is definitely a sight to be seen and one you don’t want to miss.
Before we release the Volunteer Sign Up, we are still looking to secure a few of the Chair positions. There is no time like the present to become involved in this event, whether you are a new parent or ‘existing’ parent. The open Chair positions are:
• Parking – Assist in the set up and manage a small group of volunteers with the spectator parking, crossing of 86th Ave from student parking lot to SMS PE field, road closure at 86th Ave and 131st St. Great position for anyone who can smile. This group is the ‘first face’ many see as they arrive at our event.
• Souvenirs – Oversee and manage vendors, order/sell souvenirs and Sound t-shirts, oversees Band Grams and much more. Very active area of the event and a lot of fun to be involved in.
If you are interested in learning more about either of these positions, please contact Barb. Farmer-Hundt at farmerb@pcsb.org ; phone (727) 501-3439
