October 4, 2016 Band Boosters Meeting

Upcoming Events:

This Thursday 10/6/16 7 pm Milne stadium against West Mesa. Truck loading around 4:30 (whenever Ms G gets there) more props, we're adding the pinball flippers this week. Because 10/14 game is cancelled (see below) this will be the final stadium practice before Valencia.

Oct 15^th Valencia Marching Band Competition (Los Lunas)

Band leaves from school at 4:45. Need car pool parents. No band students will be allowed to drive. So we will send out a HHSband email again asking for updated parents who can drive, etc. We will provide maps and suggest that parents caravan - it is very easy to get lost going out to the high school.

Band drop off is 5:50. Band plays at 6:30

Food taken care of by Jessica, Elaine, John and Kathy. Mike will take care of drinks. Need to have hummus. Need to make sure that any pork meat is kept separate from other foods. Perhaps hot chocolate?

Students will eat sandwiches before or on the way to Valencia. We will have snacks for them after performance, similar to football games.

October 22 Pagent of Bands (POB) Wilson Stadium

Band leaves PAC at 9:30 am. Need car pool parents. No band students will be allowed to drive. So we will send out a HHSband email again asking for updated parents who can drive, etc. We will provide maps to where our parking lot space is and where to park car pool cars. Remember we will also need to transport kids back at the end of the day.

Band warms up at 10:30 and plays at 11:15

Denise, Elizabeth and Mike will be there early to reserve band spot in parking lot

October 28^th Halloween Football Game. Everyone, parents included, dresses up in costumes for this game. If students do not dress up Ms G gets to decide what their costume will be.

November 11, 12, 13. Fundraiser at Barnes and Noble. Anne will organize this. Will need parents to staff table at the event. Anne will coordinate with Ms. G when band will play during the week-end (small groups, like we did at Whole Foods fundraiser)

POB Tickets are $6.00 before the event, $10.00 at the door. Send a note to me at maryscof@scofie.net if you want tickets we have to have the money turned in by 10/19. The Booster can send the check as long as folks pay us back.

Pre-order photos $10 each. One photo for a serious portrait and one photo for a fun photo

Elizabeth will send out a pre-order form to parents via email. Parents fill out and send back to school to Ms. G. We need 20 photos pre-ordered to get the $10 price. People can also choose to have individual or small group photos. Pay for those at the time of photo

VOLUNTEERS: Need to have 14 parents volunteer for time slots at POB. These volunteer positions include checking in bands, monitoring gates, helping to line bands up for the final and other positions. Mary will send out a schedule of time slots for the day. Please look at these time slots, volunteer for one or more of the time slots and email Mary back with your choice. HHS gets money for these volunteer positions to offset the cost of attending POB.

Food. Dawn will take care of food. Powdrell’s BBQ will provide the meat, buns, baked beans, and potato salad and have it there by 11:30. We will bring salad as well. Dawn will make sure that there is fruit for later on in the afternoon.
