Parents – we will be having a mandatory parent meeting on October 10th. At least 1 parent/guardian for each student is required to attend. We will be discussing travel plans on Oct 12 to Orlando for Bands of America (BOA).
News
Please come to our next Friends and Family on September 28th. Friends and Family is where we invite those closest to us to watch our students perform their show that they have been work so hard on. It also gives the students a chance to perform their show in front of people, so they have less jitters later. Run through time is a little flexible but if you are there by 8:30 pm you should miss a thing. Please bring a chair. It would be great to have a parking lot of cars there!

This is for NON-BAND/GUARD students only that need volunteer hours.
Our students will have practice the morning of Sound then will disperse for Section Lunches at various restaurants. Some students will choose to go home and rest after lunch, some will stay and volunteer, some will clean their instruments, etc.
Those that want to volunteer at Sound during their down time, will be able to check in at the volunteer check-in table and see where help is needed. They will right down their names, location volunteering, and start & end time.

Cheesecake sales are improving, however we have less than 50 kids participating. This is a fair share fundraising opportunity and the more we sell reduces the shipping costs for all. In order to push for everyone’s participation, we have extended our campaign until October 3rd. If you have already turned in your order it is not too late to keep selling. Emily can provide you with another form and add it to your existing order. We do not have an updated delivery date yet but will pass along as soon as it is established. We do know that it will be sometime the week of October 28th. If you not begun selling yet, please start now. If we meet our goal, then we can reach free shipping status! 800 items in total is that goal! Let’s go Warhawks! We can do this!
If you have other questions, please feel free to contact Emily Simpson at Fundraising@seminoleband.org or 502-378-2102.

New band parents, want to help and don’t know where to start? Try out working concessions for a game! It is always wonderful that people return to help out but we do want to see NEW faces too!
The Boosters run both the home and visitors' side concession stands for Junior Varsity and Varsity football home games at SHS. This is a very important fundraiser so please come to support the program. If you can't show up at the designated time you can still volunteer!
This is a great opportunity to meet fellow parents and support the program. If you know someone who would like to volunteer, you can sign them up or forward them this signup site. Everyone is welcome to join us!
Please sign up for our next Home Game Sept 27th. These profits “only” go to the general fund HOWEVER it still benefits each kid AND our travel plans.

Your family & friends can purchase a season ticket now that will include admission to Sound. This is an event they will not want to miss! Contact Emily Simpson to purchase tickets. 502-378-2102.
Sitting is limited during this event and we ask that our parents not sit in the stands to watch the performance. The students will be performing the night before at the football game. Please come and watch them perform then. During Seminole Sound, we need your help by volunteering.
Golf Carts
If you, a family member, neighbor, work, or someone else you know has a golf cart that we could borrow on Saturday, October 5th, you would make our work so much easier. We need anywhere from 6 to 10 golf carts to setup, run the event, and take down in the evening. Please let Beckie Biglin know if you can help at shsbbspecialevents@gmail.com.
Trailers
If you, a family member, neighbor, work, or someone else you know has a flatbed trailer with side railings and a ramp, please let us know. We use these to transport band equipment during the performance from the practice site at Bauder Elementary to Seminole High School student parking entrance. We need anywhere from 6 to 10 trailers. We will also need drivers to pull the trailers. If this is something you would be able to help with, please let Beckie Biglin know at shsbbspecialevents@gmail.com.
