All,

These are then notes from our band booster meeting last Wednesday.  Thanks
to all who attended!

*Twinkle LIght Parade*

December 2nd in Nob Hill
Meet at the band room and get dressed up in barttery operated lights
(available at Walmart or Big Lots)
*Now is the *time to get the lights--they sell out
Save your bag twist ties because they are good to use in connecting lights
to instruments
Parade starts near Highland and ends at Central/Girard
Boosters need to be available to transport kids and instruments back from
the end of the parade route.
(kids report to the band room at 3:45.  Parents drive cars over to Lomas
and Stanford and park the cars.  Parents are driven back to the band room
so that we can march with the kids.  At the end of the parade all the kids
will go to the cars and we drive back to the bandroom)
If you don't have your background check, go to APS.edu and google
background check.  Everyone needs to have a background check before they
can transport kids
Dinner will be provided by the boosters for the kids before the parade.
If you are walking along with the band, all adults must be covered in
lights as well
Boosters--please bring *small pre-packaged candy canes*.  During the march,
the boosters throw the candy out to the parade watchers

*Cleaning out and organizing the shed/PAC and changes to the truck.*

There is stuff for Goodwill in the PAC.  Goodwill fundraiser again this
year?
Shed:  build some flag stands to put in the shed.(wood frame with dividers
every 2')
Truck:  put some shelves on the wall behind the drivers seat so that there
is more room for instruments

A special thanks to Melecia whose family collected aluminum cans and
contributes some $80 to the band. *This could be an ongoing fundraiser for
the band*
