March Band Booster Meeting
Mar 12 @ 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM
This is a *very* important meeting where we will set nominations for next year’s Booster Board, and also take a general membership vote on proposed by-laws revisions.
If you have not yet taken the elections survey to give us your interest in helping either on the Board or in volunteering, please do so.
*As of right now*,  we have no coverage of the concessions stand duties (2VP and 2VP Assistant positions).  Concessions is key to keeping our fees low.  Not only does concessions offer a means for fee credits from working slots, but it also brings a net general fund profit into the band.   Our Booster Association will lose concessions at Buckhorn if we cannot manage and staff it.  There are a lot of programs that would step forward and lobby to take it and the $25,000 to $30,000 of net revenue it generates.
If we lose concessions next year, all our fees would increase by approximately $175 or more for each student.
Remember, all VP duties include a $500 student fee credit either zeroing out or substantially decreasing parent’s costs for their student.
We also have created a new Treasurer Assistant Position which is a great way to help and learn about our Booster Association.
If you have been on the fence for potentially stepping forward to help out on the Board or specifically in concessions, please let me know.  Now is the time to step forward!

2020 Winter Concert – Gold Gym
Dec 17 @ 7:00 PM

The Buckhorn High School Band’s 2020 Winter Concert will be Thursday, December 17th at 7:00 in the BHS Gold Gym (the main big one).  Admission is free!

*Classroom and gym event safety protocols will be employed – social distancing, masks, and 50% capacity – which leaves room to exceed our typical concert attendance.
*Please remember that students who are in-person at daily rehearsals are required to attend for a test grade.  Please communicate any safety concerns directly to me.

Our students received several exciting pieces of literature yesterday which we will study and work hard to prepare over the next month!  Students should be doing their own personal practice study regularly.

We hope you will all come and invite all of your family and friends!  The concert should last about an hour and is sure to help get us all in the spirit of the season.

Additional notes to consider:
We will not have after school rehearsal on the day of the concert. Students will be released at the bell, should get home, eat and change.
ALL STUDENTS CONCERT ATTIRE MUST BE AS PREVIOUSLY STIPULATED, including length of pants/dress – hemmed with slight break on the shoe.
Students leaders return at 4:45 to begin preparation for setting up in the gym.
Everyone else needs to return to the band room in full concert attire by 5:00, at which time we will move and set up everything in the gym (as basketball practice concludes).

Please keep in mind that we want families and friends to be able to take pictures and take the opportunity to enjoy each other’s fellowship, but students will need to take care of moving all of our chairs, stands, equipment, etc. back to the band room first.
