Another volunteer opportunity from Dottie Andrews:

Will you post on sign up genius that volunteers are needed for Tiny Tots Concert on 12/9/11? 

Needed are:   2 to help them get dressed before the show and put the costumes away after the show.  2 to help on stage in the wings giving them their cue when to go into the audience,  2 to sit in the front row next to the steps to help them come down, 4  to stand in the back of the auditorium to help the characters know where to go next.   

 

Greetings!  Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with family & friends.  If you're looking for a way to work off some of that extra weight from all the Thanksgiving trimmings & help the band, please see update e-mail from Linda Lichtman below regarding fruit delivery.  Please reply to Linda & me with what volunteer effort you can help (note that these are currently the planned dates & time.  If anything changes, we'll let you know as soon as possible):

Hi Che,

 

I have a tentative delivery date of Wednesday, Dec 7th at 1:00 for the fruit.  I won't know a definite date until it is shipped on the 4th and probably not a definite time until it arrives.  The delivery could be delayed if it rains in Florida when the fruit is scheduled to be picked.  Please request volunteers for the tentative date and time to help unload the truck.  The more the merrier.  Provided the fruit arrives by the next day, I'll also need volunteers after the concert on the 8th to help with distribution.  Please ask the volunteers to email me their contact info with the best way to reach them during the day.  

 

Thanks,

Linda

Hayfield High School Band Msg #27...Thank You, Fruit Sale Extended, Tag Day Feedback, & Upcoming Events

Band Booster Family,

Prelude: Welcome back to all those that were out this past weekend for either the UVA Band Day, college visits, and other various trips.  Hope it provided some nice memories and greater insight to which colleges/universities might be in your future:

Because of the great volunteer spirit of the Band Boosters, I found it fairly easy being the Band Booster Prez for three different years. We’re still looking for volunteers for the last two officer positions: Prez & Vice Prez. Additionally, I’ll still be in the area, have a lot of pass-on notes, & you can use all my “spam” e-mails as a template: ) Please let me know by relpying.

First of all, THANK YOU to Sally Nicely, Michelle Booth, Jerod Tupik, Rogello Silverio, Melvin Cloud, Atsuko, and Jonathan Russell, and anyone else that volunteered that I may have missed! While it was a great exciting game to the end, since I was in attendance, we of course lost to Lee;(

 

Second, Linda Lichtman let me know that we've collected over $4,000 from the fruit sales http://www.hayfieldbands.com/id33.html . Based on parents request, she's extending fruit sales through Monday, November 14…please see attachments.

Third, Michelle Booth is collecting inputs/ideas for future Tag Days. If you have a form, please fill it out & have your kids return to Mr. Burke. If you don't have a form, please let me know.

 

Fourth, thank you to Dee Gardner for volunteering to organize Band Booster Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries Restaurant Fundraiser all day Tuesday, November 22…coupon attached.

Hayfield High School Band Msg #26...Thank You, Tomorrow's Home Football Playoff Game Volunteers, & Fruit Sale Extended

Band Booster Family,

Prelude: We're headed into a nice, long Veterans Day weekend. Please take a moment to reflect on our blessings & freedoms because of all those veterans. Thank you to all of the veterans that we have in the Band Booster Family!

First of all, what an OUTSTANDING night we had for the Marching Band Awds potluck! Thank you to all those that brought dishes, helped set-up, helped clean-up, and anything else to make this a successful event. Wasn't it great to see our kids get recognized:)

Second, please disregard the previous home football game volunteer info I sent...change in plans & needs. Those students that can attend will be in uniform & only do the pre-game...NO halftime. Because of this, we only need some volunteers to help with uniforms around 6 pm & a couple for very little equipment around 6 pm. Please reply & let me know since Atsuko & I will be there:)

Third, Linda Lichtman let me know that we've collected over $4,000 from the fruit sales. Based on parents request from last night, she's extending fruit sales through Monday, November 14.

Fourth, Michelle Booth is collecting inputs/ideas for future Tag Days. If you have a form, please fill it out & have your kids return to Mr. Burke. If you don't have a form, please send me an e-mail, and I'll get it to you.

Finally, again, THANK YOU for ALL you do as parents, siblings, or friends! The Band couldn't do it without you:)

Humbly serving our kids,
Che

1.       Family is more important than work

2.       Even with a full-time job in the military/Dept of Defense during almost a decade of wars, I made time for my kids

Because of the great volunteer spirit of the Band Boosters, I found it fairly easy being the Band Booster Prez for three different years.  We’re still looking for volunteers for the last two officer positions: Prez & Vice Prez.  Additionally, I’ll still be in the area, have a lot of pass-on notes, & you can use all my “spam” e-mails as a template: )  Please let me know by relpying.

 

First of all, THANK YOU to ALL the parents, siblings, student helpers, friends, and anyone else that volunteered!  With great weather, today’s Hayfield Farm Parade was the largest one I’ve seen in my seven years as a Band Booster.

 

Second, upcoming events for November:

Nov 9      MARCHING BAND AWARDS Potluck/Supper - 6:00 pm:

On Wednesday, November 9, 2011, the Marching Band will hold our annual “Awards Potluck/Supper” at the school, Middle School Lecture Hall at 6 pm.

Nov 11, 18, & 25   Football Playoffs:

Assuming the Hayfield football team will be in the playoffs, we may have a few more home football games; however, @ this time, we don’t know for certain.  If we do have playoff games @ home, we will have the opportunity to shine again in terms of volunteer opportunities.  I’ll keep you posted.

Band Booster Family,

Hayfield Secondary School Band Boosters

 Annual Florida Citrus Fruit Sale

 

October 11 – November 4

Delivery: December 8, 2011

 

Orange You Glad to Have One Last Chance?

Please bring your last minute fruit orders to the Marching Band Awards and Dinner on Wednesday, November 9th or put them in the Band Booster Box in the Band Room.  

All orders and money must be turned in by Friday, November 11^th.

Have you ever wondered how you can help the band boosters support the band program and earn money towards your student's spring band trip?

It's easy!  Each year our band sells delicious fresh Florida navel oranges and red grapefruit in October for delivery in December. The fruit is picked and shipped within 48 hours of delivery to our school, and is the best that Florida has to offer.  

During the sale, encourage your student to ask everyone they know – family, friends, neighbors, teachers, former band families, mail carriers, etc. – if they would like to buy fruit.  You can even ask your coworkers.  You'll be surprised how many people really look forward to our fruit sale each year.  Some will buy it to help the band, others will buy it because they like your kid, and many will buy it just because they really enjoy the fruit.

Students will earn money in the form of credits to their spring trip accounts for each box of fruit you and they sell.  The more they sell, the less the trip will cost.  Some students have sold enough boxes to cover the final few payments of their trips.

Band students will be selling both single variety and mixed 10 lb. boxes of fruit this year. 

Boxes of 16-18 Navel Oranges -- $18.00

Boxes of 8-10 Red Grapefruit -- $18.00

Mixed boxes of 6-8 Oranges and 5 Grapefruit -- $20.00

 

 

The Band Boosters thanks you for your support and for helping to make our fruit sale a success!!!

Band Booster Family,

 

Prelude: There are a lot of lessons I’ve learned in life, and here are two gems:

1.       Family is more important than work

2.       Even with a full-time job in the military/Dept of Defense during almost a decade of wars, I made time for my kids

Because of the great volunteer spirit of the Band Boosters, I found it fairly easy being the Band Booster Prez for three different years.  We’re still looking for volunteers for the last two officer positions: Prez & Vice Prez.  Additionally, I’ll still be in the area, have a lot of pass-on notes, & you can use all my “spam” e-mails as a template: )  Please let me know by relpying.

 

First of all, THANK YOU to ALL the parents, siblings, student helpers, friends, and anyone else that volunteered!  With great weather, today’s Hayfield Farm Parade was the largest one I’ve seen in my seven years as a Band Booster.
