Work day this Saturday!! Please join us for a little while!!

Concession stand clean up day is this Saturday!!  Parents of band students will meet at the concession stand at the football stadium at 8:00 AM to give it a good cleaning before we start the season. We expect to be finished about noon. If you cannot stay the entire time, we would love to have any help you can provide. There are many different jobs to do so I am sure there is one that is just right for you.  I know there is one waiting for me!!!!

This stand is our main source of income and we need all the help we can get!  This is how we fund having private instructors come and give one-on-one and small group instruction during the day so we don't keep students after school.


Please help!!!!!!!!

Thank you!         See you Saturday morning!

Open house for the new Band Room - May Band Booster Meeting !

 
Every band parent is invited to the NEW middle school band room for the May Band Booster meeting.  This is a wonderful opportunity to see first-hand the fantastic new band room and meet or reconnect with the wonderful Band Boosters who support us so very much during the year!  Please spread the word and invite others to attend the meeting.  It will be the last meeting of the school year and the Boosters will not meet again until July.  You can expect to receive information concerning year-end concerts for all bands and for those students participating in Marching Band next year, the summer schedule will be presented.
 
The Band Boosters have graciously funded the last two months of private instructors for the middle school band students. Thank you!  We need to find out how we can get involved and help!!  Many hands make the work lighter!!!  Our band is large and we cannot function without the help of the Band Booster Parents and the Band Boosters cannot function without every parent!  Please help!!

Thank you!

WHEN - May 10, 2010
TIME - 7:00 P.M.
WHERE - NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL BANDROOM
 
Hope to see you there!
