Parent/Family T-Shirts

I now have the Parent/Family T-Shirts in my possession. You can either have your child bring them home, or come by the school and pick them up yourself, or come to the booster meeting this Thursday and pick them up. See you then!

Concessions at Aug 23 Game

We talked at the Booster meeting last Thursday about trying to get some of the concessions at the Football games for a fundraiser. Last year, we made quite a bit of money on 2 basketball games. So I asked Coach Hinson about signing us up for some football concessions, and he was glad to hear it because he was having a hard time getting some of the games worked.

So he told me today we are signed up for the Aug 23 game. That's next Monday. Could I get around 5 parents to volunteer to work the concessions that night? Please let me know and I will find out the report time ASAP (it will probably be around 6 or so). Thanks!

Itinerary for Aug 23

Itinerary
Football Game vs. McKenzie Monday, August 23, 2010

5:00 pm Report to SGCHS Band Room. Load equipment on bus. Have a seat in the Band Room when all equipment is loaded. We will be wearing the Band T-Shirts, tan-colored Khaki shorts or Capri’s, tennis shoes, no hats. We will play the National Anthem, Pep music, and as much of the halftime show as we have ready.

5:25 pm Load Bus and depart SGCHS to Medina Park

5:45 pm Arrive at Medina Park. Unload equipment off the bus. Put the cases back on the bus. Don’t forget your lyres and flip folders.

6:00 pm Warm -up and then go to the field to play the National Anthem.

6:30 pm Game begins, be prepared to play pep music and cheer for the team! After the halftime show, you will get the 3rd quarter off to eat, drink and visit friends and family. Remember during this time that you are still representing the band and the school. Remain professional.

9:00 pm Approximate end of game. Everyone will load the bus, and help unload the equipment when we get back to the school. Everyone will be dismissed when everything is put up!

Booster Meeting

A reminder to everyone that we will be having our first Booster meeting of the year this Thursday, Aug. 12 at 6:30 pm in the Band Room! All right, now calm down. We will be discussing a few things including what kind of fundraisers to do this year. See you there.

Band T-Shirts

The students that came to practice received their band T-shirts for this semester. Everyone else will receive them at the next rehearsal. Be sure to keep up with these, as they will be required to wear them at all football games and competitions. These T-shirts were part of their band camp fees, so there is no further cost for the shirts.

If any parents, family, or friends want a Band T-shirt, I will be selling them at cost for $10. However, I need to send it all in on one order. So I need to get the size of everyone that wants one - and the money! - by Friday, August 13th. This way I can get them made in time for the first Home game on August 23. I will have a sign-up sheet in the Band Room, or you can simply send me the sizes by email before you send the money. Remember - sizes and money are both due by August 13th.

By the way, please make all checks out to SGCHS or South Gibson County High School. Do not put "Band". It all runs through the school (we have our own sub-account), so the bank doesn't like to have anything other than the school's name on the check.

Notes for Rehearsals this week.

Rehearsals this week are from 4-6. Tuesday, because of inservice, I may not be able to be there until right at 4. I will try to have someone come and open the door for everyone before then. And everyone who shows up to Tuesday's rehearsal will get a present! So be there. Thursday, we will get done a few minutes early to get ready for Orientation/Open House. Have a good week!
