8/31 E-Mail from Secretary Toni Hi Everyone, The kids should have brought home 5 car wash tickets. They're $5 each. The car wash is rain or shine on Saturday 9/4/2010 30am-3pm at Advanced Auto Parts on Montauk Hwy and Wellwood Ave . The kids are asked to donate their time and participate in the washing of the cars. Please sell the tickets and bring money on the day of the car wash. It's really important for everyone to participate in these fund raisers. The Band Parent Association Is funding a lot of this year props and costumes and even with the parents donating all the labor the materials are costly.

Thank you, Toni

8/22 E-Mail from Secretary Toni Hi Everyone, A week long band camp is staring Monday 23 starting at 8:30am at the middle school. It's suppose to rain tomorrow so they work inside the school. Monday is supposed to be a late night practice it could to 9:00pm. This is subject to change. Please have your child bring food and drink and or money. They are dismissed for lunch and can go along Wellwood Ave for food. They should have hats and suntan lotion for the sunny days. It's a long week and they will be tired and cranky. They also have a lot of fun with the seniors sponsoring the freshman. On Friday they invite the parents to come view the show for the first time. Toni

We ask each band participant to sell at least 10 tickets. Make sure your children try to sell them at all the Labor Day get-togethers, and other family parties!

7/11 E-Mail from Secretary Toni Hi Everyone, I have not heard back from Anthony on whether or not he can make our Thursday night meeting. The color guard practice on Thursday ends earlier then the rest of the bands. Monday is color guards only late night practice. I know two meeting in one week is a pain in the neck but Anthony being MIA leaves me to believe he would like to see sewers and designs on Monday in auditorium at 7:30. Victor has also sent out flyers for this Thursday night for our regular band parent meeting.

I have deleted the senior parents from my address book but if I missed someone that does not want my e mails just let me know. Toni

7/7 E-Mail from Secretary Toni Hi Everyone, Anthony has asked me to send out an e mail to those who are doing the sewing and costume adjustments( hat, sash, cape, flags) to get together to discuss it in more detail. He would like to get an update on these projects. He would appreciate if you could bring your ideas and samples up to the High School on Monday July 12 7:30 -8:30 pm. Anyone who would like to help with the cutting and sewing or any of the projects please come to this meeting so we can work out when and where we can work on them. We can meet in the auditorium. He will not be at this Thursday practice. Thank you, Toni
