The 2016/2017 chaperone training meeting is scheduled for Thursday August 4th at 7pm at the high school (room TBD).  If you are thinking about signing up to chaperone during this year’s band season, this meeting is mandatory.  Chaperones need to be active, approved level 2 volunteers and have volunteered for activities (i.e. water duty) where you interact with the students and they get to know you.  If you have any questions, please contact Jackie Brochman at Jacquelyn.brochman@duke-energy.com.

Have you been out selling ads? I sure hope so, because someone I know is! Attached is an updated Businesses Contacted list. Once again, until July 30th, this list includes businesses that were sold to last year with the corresponding band parent name next to them. They have first priority on selling to that business again this year. If I do not hear from the parent by July 30th about whether they have contacted that business for another ad in the program this year, then they are open for another band parent to contact them.

If you have any questions about selling ads, or need additional forms, please email Kim Bernstein @ kbernstein68@gmail.com.

 

On Friday, August 12, the full marching band will watch the DCI semi finals championships at the band room on our brand-new projection system.  This will start at approximately 6 PM and continue until approximately 11:30 PM.  This event will replace the DCI quarterfinals movie event that the students typically attend (for the past eight years).  The reason for the switch is because the movie event falls on a school night-the second day of school due to the early start this year.  Sections will be encouraged to have dinner together then meet at the band room for the evening performances.

We have an immediate need in the uniform room.  We need moms and dads to help with fitting, ironing, and labeling uniforms now during band camp at the following times:

If ironing, please bring an iron and ironing board.  Also, all the uniform hangers and shako boxes need labeling.

Scrip is fundraising while you shop! This successful fundraising program turns everyday shopping into cash when families use retail gift cards to pay for everyday purchases like gas and groceries, instead of the usual credit/debit cards or cash!

Please plan to attend the Band Booster Meeting Tuesday, July 19th at 7:00 pm at SHS, in the chorus room. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and find out what is going on with camp, the budget, events, fundraising, volunteer opportunities and committees. It’s also a great place to connect with other band parents!  This is your Booster Club! We hope to see you there!
