HSS Band 2009-10.9 Early wake-up call; help needed next week

Hi Band Family,
CONGRATS to the football team for their 35-0 win tonight against Marshall. The band sounded great; and it was fun to hear the fight song played so many times.

Reminder: students should report to school at 7am tomorrow (Friday) for 7th grade orientation. The students will finish around 8:15am.

HELP NEEDED ~ It's time for our annual "Staple Party!" To get envelopes ready for tag day, we needed volunteers to come to the band room during band rehearsal next Tuesday (Sept 8th) from 6pm-8pm. BYOS (Bring your own stapler); parents, siblings, friends are all welcome to help. (There may be cookies . . . . !)

HELP NEEDED ON TAG DAY ~ Erin Fitzsimmons needs a few volunteers to help count money as it comes in on Saturday September 12. The money-counters work in the band room starting around 1:30-2:00pm when students start returning from their routes. If you can help, please contact Erin (We'll need money counters on Saturday the 19th too.)

If you are a scheduled driver for Tag Day, Erin will contact you Wed or Thurs to confirm and get cell phone numbers. (Scheduled drivers signed up with a specific group on the sign-up sheets.)

If you're available to be a 'back-up' driver (to fill in just in case a scheduled driver can't make it) then please contact Erin.


CAN YOU SEW? Dottie Andrews is leading the effort to do alterations and repairs on some of the uniforms. If you can let out a hem, or sew a hem, or do basic sewing, please contact Dottie Friday (or contact me )

Finally, a HUGE "THANK YOU!" to all the wonderful volunteers this evening. The equipment was moved safely and efficiently; and the students really appreciated all the great snacks and water. (And, once again, the students did a great job cleaning their section of the stands!)

The cool, clear night (with a gorgeous full moon) was a bonus to cap off a night of good football, great music, and cheerful camaraderie!

Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
