Update on Band Truck

  -Not totaled, estimation to fix is $15000.  Insured through APS. Truck is at Maintenance.  Don't know how long it will be before it is fixed.  Sounds like we will have a loaner truck for the beginning of band season a BIG thank you to APS food services as they are lending us a decommissioned truck!!!!.  Mike Goodrich and/or Mary Scofield will try to get all the tie-downs from the truck so that we can us them in the loaner truck

Ms. G asked the Band Boosters to put $1500-$2000 aside to pay for Mason and Mr. Sorenson, both of whom are helping with marching band this year.

Fundraising Idea:  Pancake breakfast at Applebees on Gibson.  Ryan Goodrich knows who to contact regarding this.  He will let Ms. G know.

Denise Tomlin is our Pagent of Bands representative.  Elizabeth Robison is staying on to help until we find another person willing to take this on.  So,  we need a booster to volunteer for this position.  They say the meetings are fun!!!!!!

Mary Scofield asks that boosters keep a notebook and write down procedures of events that they have been in charge of over the course of their involvement.  There are several band boosters with kids who are seniors so we need to make a big effort to recruit new band boosters.  We will have a sign up sheet at the Friday end-of-band-camp concert for parents to sign up if they would like to be part of the boosters.
