[Hhsband] the last two weeks of marching season and then.....

[Mary Scofield]

Ok folks - one competition down, POB and MPA left.

*Thursday**(10/18)* football game another pre-game show. Students leave 
the school at 4:45 to make sure we get to the stadium in time.  Truck 
loading at report time for students.

*Friday afternoon**(10/19) *rehearsal at Wilson for POB.  Carpooling 
kids again.  I need as many mini vans/ large SUVs  and cars as possible. 
Please respond back to maryscof at scofie.net <maryscof at scofie.net>I need 
to know who you are, now many kids you can transport and if this 
includes your own student.   This was mentioned earlier this year, but 
with everything else it might have got pushed back.  I need responses as 
soon as possible.

If you can drive, there are 68 students to move to Wilson (Manzano high 
school) and then back to the school afterward. We will pick up kids at 
2:30 - practice is from 3 to 5 then return kids. I will confirm with Ms 
where to meet to pick up students.

If you have not done a background check, you will need to do so tomorrow 
- the url is here: http://www.aps.edu/community/volunteer-with-aps      
the volunteer button is down the page and you will need to create a user 
if you don't have one.  If you have done a background check within the 
last two years for APS, just send me the email with the results.

*Saturday (10/21) pretty much all day*:

1) I need 4 more volunteers who will work POB from 3:30 - end. Highland 
receives a portion of the proceeds from POB because we volunteer time. 
We had to have 17 slots manned this year and already I have 13 filled. 
If you can help out please email me (maryscof at scofie.net) your name and 
phone number by tomorrow night.  The work is easy and fun.

2) We will be getting one bus and transporting colorguard/the overage in 
vehicles. I'll send out better timelines when I get confirmation from Ms 
G.  Band performs at 12:15 but they stay for mass band presentation at 
which starts around 5. It ends when it ends....

3) In the past we have fed the students at POB, this year the band has 
moved up to AAA - which starts after lunch. So Ms G wants to feed the 
students at Highland PAC before hand. More on this later.

4) Manzano is under construction. Parking etc will be an issue. Since we 
are busing most students - parents should park in the large lot at 
Chelwood Park and Lomas. There is also street parking on Chelwood Park.  
More on this later.

*Tuesday 10/24 MPA*

This is Ms G's awesome creation. Bands perform and are rated similar to 
Spring concert band performance assessment.

**We will need to transport kids from Highland to Milne after school and 
then back afterward its over. I need to talk to Ms G about timelines - 
so just know this is coming along with carpooling.  A lot of the 
students help run the event and there is little to no time pressure to 
get things on and off the field. (It helps when your band director sets 
the schedule...)

*Saturday 10/28 afternoon 1:00*

Final football game - the halloween game at Milne.  So the kids dress up 
for halloween and if they don't Ms G gives them a costume.  Oh - Ms G 
and her staff also dresses up for halloween and so should you, the 
parents, if you would like to.  Ms G usually marches with the band and 
different students conduct. Last game, last show for the season.

*New event not on calendar*

*Tuesday 12/19**Barnes & Noble Coronado Mall all day and evening*

This is during winter break for the students and also the Tuesday before 
Christmas.

Last year we did a bookfair at Barnes and Noble for three days. The 
students did small ensembles and the drum line did two performances out 
front of B&N.

This year, they only had one day available for the bookfair - 12/19. We 
took it. The students will play in small ensembles during the day and 
the _staff of B&N have requested a return of the drum line_. So put it 
on your calendars and tell your neighbors, friends and co-workers.

How it works:  We are provided a table near the up escalator and we hand 
out slips of paper to shoppers and ask them to give the paper to the 
clerk and the HHS band will get up to 10% of their sale as a donation. 
It costs the shopper nothing. So I will need parents to help man the 
table and talk to shoppers. Students will be performing and also helping 
with the table.

Drum line - Yeah - so this also means that we have to move the drumline 
equipment to B&N in lockable vehicles. So a couple of large suvs (I'll 
have my pathfinder and probably one more - maybe a suburban) will be needed.

Last year we raised over $4000.
