Band Booster Meeting Summary

For those of you that were not able to make it to the meeting on Tuesday night. Here is some information that was covered.

Band Trip 2011. The band will be going to Vancouver BC at the end of May 2011. This sounds like a wonderful trip and experience for the kids. There will be competitions and a Parade that the kids will participate in along with many other activities. The cost of the trip will be between $650-$700 per student/adult. Information about the trip was given to the students on Wednesday. If you have any questions please contact Jim or myself.

Auction...March 20th 6-8:30...please be working on securing your items. This is one of the best ways to get money into your students account to pay for the trip. We ask each family to secure at least 3 items. You can always bring many more. Please turn them in as soon as you get them, because we have the band auction website set up and want to list the items out there. Please go to www.wvbandauctions.com and check out the website. Sign up for Parents to help at the auction will be at the next booster meeting on March 16th.

Other fund raising activities...the boosters voted to do a candle sale after the Auction. Items can be sold and we will try to coordinate this around a Mothers Day theme. The candles are $10 dollars and $4.50 of that will go back into your students account for each candle sold. This is an easy way to make some money for the trip. Sell 145 candles and the trip is paid for. :-)

Many eighth grade students and parents were at the meeting to hear about the trip. It was nice to see that many eighth graders excited to be in the band!

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me.

See you at the next Band Booster meeting on Tuesday March 16th at 7:00 pm.

Thanks!

Sam Roderick

Band Booster President

Update:

Jim will be taking the Band Trip to Vancouver proposal information to the WV High School, WV School District, and the School Board for approval.

Once all of those approvals have been given then the trip is ON...I got a little ahead of myself...sorry. :-)

I will keep you posted on that approval process.

Thanks again!!

Sam

Band Auction - March 20th - 6 pm

The Band Auction is coming on March 20th from 6:00-8:30pm. We need your Auction Items turned in as soon as possible!!

This year we will have a website set up telling about some of our items. You will be able to direct friends and family members to the website to see some of the items available for bidding. In order to take full advantage of the web site we need to know what items we have. :-)

Your child will be given a procurement form today in their band class. The procurement package will include an information sheet an Item form and a letter that can be used.

In order for our auction to be successful we need everyone to bring in items. We are asking each family to procure at least 3 items for the auction.

Please get out there and get your items and get them to us as soon as possible.

Diane Clinton will be holding the items until the Auction. If you already have your items and want to turn them in you can do the following.

Get the procurement form from your child and fill it out. You can either email me or Diane to let us know your item is ready, and we will coordinate how to get your item, or your child can bring it into school and give it to Mr Loucks. He will let us know and we can get the item. It is very important to fill out the procurement form so we know what student brought in the item and gets proper credit for it.

If you have any questions please email me or come to the Band Booster Meeting this month on Tuesday Feb 16th at 7pm.

This is one of the ways your child can get money into their student account to pay for a trip or band activities.

Thanks for your support of the WV Band!!

Sam Roderick
