Winter Winds/Guard/Percussion

Please register ASAP. We still have MANY students missing from our official registration lists. Also, the initial $150 winter deposit is past due. The next fee payment is due December 11.

Winter Guard and Winter Winds use parent drivers to transport students. Please fill out this form to turn in to the booster board along with a copy of your car insurance and driver's license. You must also fill out the Raptor form with the district to be an approved chaperone (parent drivers double as chaperones). 

Initial welcome emails have gone out to guard and wind families, with a ton of information needed for the season.

American Fundraising Group Fundraiser

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A fundraiser brochure went home with your student the Friday before Thanksgiving. You can find all the information needed for the fundraiser in THIS BLOG POST, including how to set up your student's account. Orders are due online by December 8.

Basketball Concessions

There are still open spots in basketball concessions sign ups. This is a great way to earn money towards your student's fees ($10 per hour). If you sign up and cannot attend, please remove your name from the sign up at least 48 hours in advance so someone has the opportunity to take your place. 

Christmas Concert

The Christmas concert is next Tuesday, December 9th at 6:30 PM. This is a joint concert with the choir. 

MONDAY, December 8th at 5:00 PM we will be meeting at the school to decorate the stage for the concert. If you are free, please come and help. 

Christmas Parade

Saturday, December 13th at 11:00 AM is the Mt. Juliet Christmas Parade. We are looking for a few parents to walk the parade with the band. Please sign up if you are available.

Prior to the parade, the boosters will be hosting a table and selling baked goods, hand warmers, and Christmas paraphernalia. Please sign up to donate food and/or help run the table.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all enjoy your week, and it is full of family, friends, and food.

THERE ARE NO REHEARSALS SCHEDULED THIS WEEK!

Winter Registration

If your student is participating in Winter Band, please register them ASAP. We are missing a LOT of students. 

Fundraisers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do have some updates on the fundraiser that your student brought home on Friday. If you are wondering what I am talking about, ask your student for the brochure that was sent home with them.

This is a student fundraiser, meaning 75% of the profit goes back to the student to go towards their band fees. PLEASE take this week with family and friends to see if anyone would like to support your student.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• The student will need to create an account on the American Fundraising Group website.
• The school code is 6157585606.
• You will receive an email with your student's unique link to send to family and friends.
• Items purchased from family that live far away can be shipped directly to them (their will be shipping fees).
• For local sales, family can select ship to school and items will come to the school for the student to hand deliver. There is NO shipping fee with this method.
• ORDERS ARE DUE BY DECEMBER 8th. All orders need to be made online through the student's unique link.
• For items being shipped to the school, they are expected to arrive by December 16. They must be picked up when they arrive. We cannot keep items at the school.

Volunteering

Thank you to the parents that showed up to help make ornaments for the students today!

Our next volunteer opportunity will be Monday, December 8 at 5PM. We need to decorate the stage for the band concert the next day.

Please be sure to log all volunteer hours on the appropriate google form (link in the sidebar). You MUST track your hours to receive the $250 off at the end of the season for volunteering 25 hours of your time. 

Christmas Parade

The Mt. Juliet Christmas Parade is December 13 at 11AM. We are looking for a few chaperones to walk with the students. Please fill out the sign up genius if you are available.

Also, on the day of the Mt. Juliet Christmas parade, the band is going to be setting up a table to sell items as a quick fundraiser in the WWMS parking lot. We are looking for parents to donate breakfast sandwiches and muffins as well as a few parents to help run the table. If you can help, please fill out the sign up genius. 

 

Please refer to last week's post for how to order band photos and CoC vidoes.
