2-4    all district band weekend Band Booster Sign-Up Genius http://signupgenius.com/go/hssband1

Since Hayfield usually hosts the All-District Band rehearsals and concert, things to plan for & get volunteers:

We do a hospitality suite for all of the Directors (Atsuko Russell has graciously volunteered to lead this effort).  It involves breakfast and lunch usually for Friday and Saturday.

 

Additionally, we provide a concession stand for students to buy snacks during their breaks on Friday and SaturdayAlso on Saturday we do the pizza lunchMr. Burke will need to get a count of the number of slices (cheese/pepperoni) during the Friday rehearsals (relatively early so you can let Papa Johns know how many pizzas you will need for Saturday and they can schedule their staff).  The rest of the concessions (water, soda, candy, chips, etc) is an educated guess based on previous years.  We set the prices on everything so that we make very little profit (or at least didn't lose money) because we see it mostly as a service for the students attending.
