Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the delay in getting this email out to everyone but some of it was unavoidable. It was an unbelievably very hectic week. The printer didn't work, the car died and had to be put in the shop. I had to borrow a car, the computer went haywire, well, you kind of get the picture.
Below are some bullet points that I wanted to bring to everyone's attention so we can be on the same page before the next Booster meeting on April 13th.
CHARMS status: I need to sign a check to be sent to CHARMS for the website. I will get with Melinda today sometime to sign check and she will send it to them so we can get the CHARMS website up and going. Until they receive the check they will be extending our trial period.
UNIFORM ROOM update: John talked to Mike (don't know
last name) and he can get us the melamine for the uniform racks for
$27.00/sht instead of the $34/sht that was originally quoted by John.
At 43 sheets (43x$34=$1462) vs. (43x$27=$1161) that is a savings of $301.
Melinda can get John a check to purchase the materials as soon as he has a
call back from Mike with the actual cost + tax. This is great that we
can save the extra money and perhaps purchase some extra materials that may
be needed in the uniform room. Great going John!
FOOTBALL Schedule for Fall 09: Attached you will find the fall schedule for football. After having talked with Doc, he indicated to me that the Band will not be going to any of the away games due to transportation costs. That leaves only 5 games that we will be at home. Let's talk about what we need to do to get the Concessions stand going tfor these 5 games.
CAR WASHES: The last Booster meeting we discussed having some car washes. The Coronado Newpaper has been having some car washes lately and there have only been a handful of kids working the car wash. If we do a car wash because we have a large number of students we can have 2 car washes as 2 different locations. The supplies can be donated by parents/students such as soap, towels for drying the cars and tire dressing. All the proceeds will go to the Boosters and accounts for those students who participate in the fund raiser.
DOC's Schedule: Doc gave me his schedule of weekends that currently look o.k. for him if we are to schedule the car washes and the yard sale. April 11, 18th, May 2, 9th, 16th. April 25th Doc has ALL STATE and a meeting in Tucson one of which is the AMEA meeting in which he will get the calendar for the entire next year's schedule events. He would not be able to be at the Yard Sale for this day if we had the students helping out. So perhaps we could schedule another day. I might suggest May 2nd for the Yard Sale.
BOOSTER YARD SALE: We also discussed about having a Band Booster Yard Sale. James Mitchel stated that we could possibly have the sale at his church parking lot. (James is this still a possiblity? Please advise) We had tentatively talked about Sat April 25th for the yard sale. Perhaps Sat May 2nd as an alternative since Doc has a conflict in Tucson on April 25th and could not be here. We can have folks rent a space (table) for their stuff and also see about having some food and water to sell.
AWARDS BANQUET: This has been confirmed for Thursday, May 14th at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints just down the street from Coronado HS. We had the banquet there last year so most everyone should know where it is located.
SPRING CONCERT: This has been scheduled for May 5th.
PHOTOS: Doc forward me an email regarding having the band kids get some photos done. The photos are 5x7 for $20.00. The Boosters would get $10.00 for each photo purchased. Think about this and let's talk at the next booster meeting or before. If we all agree to have this done then Doc can go a head and schedule a day that would be convenient for them to come out to do the photo shoot for the kids in their uniforms. I think it would be a great idea. If we have even 40 kids purchase just 1- 5x7 that would mean $400 for the boosters.
PERSONAL FANS: I got an email from Dina Nemet regarding getting some fans for graduation to sell and possibly the football games this fall. She included in her email some websites that we can check out to see if this would be feasible for us to do. Let me know what you all think. See the links below:
BAND CAMP: Band Camp will be in town at Coronado HS from Aug 3-8. School starts on Aug 10th. Anyone who could help with lunches/dinner and snacks/water for these kids during this time please let Doc or myself know. We will ask for some volunteers at the next Booster Meeting. It will be hot and we need to help support this effort to make it the best IN-TOWN Band Camp that we can. More information will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks from Doc regarding cost, etc.
HONOR BAND Results: The Honor Band concert came back with $197 minus $84.44 in supplies for a net of $112.56 for the Boosters.
PANCAKE breakfast/SPAGHETTI Dinner: We had briefly touched on having a pancake breakfast and/or spaghetti dinner as a fund raiser. This would be great. Let's talk some more about this at our next booster meeting and see if we can nail down some dates.
BAND FALL SHOW: The drill for next year will be the "Pyramids of Egypt". Can't wait to see it.
PROM: May 16th so any fund raiser we do for that date will most likely exclude the Seniors. Let's talk about which one we can do that day.
Well, I think I've tried to cover everything. If anyone has any ideas, comments or concerns please bring them to my attention as soon as possible so I can prepare for the Booster meeting on Monday, April 13th. We've got some great ideas but now we need to nail down the dates and get them followed through so we can get stuff done before the end of the school year.
Thanks for eveyone's patience this past week.
