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!

Spring Concert @ Dream Theatre @ The Rock FWC

Tickets

May 20 @ 7:00 PM

ALL Jazz Band and Concert Band students/parents, please read all of the following concerning the SPRING CONCERT:
This Thursday, May 20th at 7:00 is our Spring Concert at The Rock Family Worship Center’s “Dream Theatre” (enter from Holmes Avenue). We are putting final touches on the program this week – students really need to avoid missing class this week if at all possible.

DETAILS FOR STUDENTS:
On Thursday, student call time is no later than 5:00 ON STAGE, FULLY DRESSED in concert attire so we can begin sound/visual checks working backward through the program, to finish by 6:30. Don’t be late to call time and don’t walk in half-dressed.
*I am looking for student volunteers who have the ability to arrive by 4:30-4:45 to help get chairs and stands set by 5 for the full ensemble.

CHECK YOUR CONCERT ATTIRE NOW. Parents, please ensure your student’s attire is mended correctly (pant/dress length – not bunched up at the foot), and that gentlemen wear a solid white undershirt and TALL BLACK SOCKS with their tux. Ladies need closed-toed solid black flats or low heels. All hair must be neatly pulled back.
*Your dress and “look” reflects you, your family, your section, & our band, in that order. Please do your best to help us be “uniform”. It matters.
