The Latest Notes
A couple of thoughts as we head into Easter. Hopefully you all have some amazing family time planned to enjoy each other, to just take a few moments to sit, chat, and hang out. Relish these times with your parents, kids, families and community! Get out into your community and be with them. Do amazing things for those around you, even if you do not know them! Share your families musical talents with others!
First and foremost: We need to get ALL parents with students in 8th-12th grade bands to get signed up for the Band App! This is our preferred method of sending out information to all families in a timely manner. It also allows us flexibility to do polls, signup lists and other nifty features! See below for info on signing up. THEN TURN THE NOTIFICATIONS ON! Being connected does NOT help if you hide the info! Secondly: Band Camp dates need to be changed to August 8th-12th in order to help everything run as smoothly as possible. We do realize there are several people who have contacted Mr. Shimmons already about having setup up family trips while keeping mind the original band camp dates. We do not expect you to change those family plans and are sorry for this confusion caused by circumstances out of our control. We will make sure your child gets caught up to speed once you get back from your family event. Third: The Band is always in need of adults who are willing to put in a little bit of time each month to help organize and run band events. Things like Band Camp, Cabin Fever Variety Show, making sure uniforms are sized and passed out, getting snacks and water are arranged for the students, and many other activities that help support our students. Band Boosters meets once a month (the first Tuesday usually of the month) form 6:30-7:30 in order to make those plans/activities. Band Boosters currently is in dire need of a person with accounting skills who can take over the Band Booster Treasurer position. If you like crunching numbers and keeping track of financial records and would be willing to volunteer then get ahold of Mr. Shimmons. Better yet come to our Booster meeting!
