Hayfield Band Boosters (Message 6)--Tag Day #1 is September 8

Greetings Boosters,

 

What a fantastic Friday Night!  The season is off to a great start.  I'm sure you all enjoyed the band's performance Friday night and wasn't the football game exciting? 

 

Booster power was in overdrive this week to support Hawk Flight on August 29 and 30 as well as the game on August 31. 

Thanks for all you do to support our bands.  We added 13 new members to the Booster family as well as several new Band patrons.  

 

I am attaching a Band Booster membership form.  Annual membership in Band Boosters is $10 per person and $20 per family.  You can become a patron by donating $30 or more.  Patrons are acknowledged on each band concert program.  Please consider becoming a patron today. 

 

Thanks to all of the volunteers last week!  My apologies in advance if I missed anyone.

Tag Day is Approaching

Our major fundraiser is Tag Day.  On Tag Day, the band members go door-to-door to collect donations.  Michelle Booth and Ellen Hishta are coordinating this year's Tag Day fundraiser.  Tag Day #1 is scheduled for Saturday, September 8. Students interested in participating in Tag Day #1 should be signed up by Tuesday, September 4.  Students may sign up by adding their names to the Tag Day poster at the front of the band room.

 

Students and drivers should report to the Band Room on Saturday at 8:00 a.m.   Students will change into their band uniforms, be matched with drivers and neighborhoods/routes will be assigned.  

It is important that both students and drivers arrive on time.  Routes/neighborhoods will be assigned to groups of 4 based on signup preferences but substitutions may be made in cases when students have not arrived.  Expect additional details mid-week.

 

Near-term Volunteer Needs 

Uniform Maintenance.  If you can volunteer a couple of hours on during the school day Tuesday-Thursday to repair uniforms, please send me a note.  The repairs are primarily sewing on buttons. 

 

Tag Day.  We still have need a driver for September 8 and 5 drivers for September 15.  We also have openings to supply breakfast items and to assist in counting the donations from both Tag Days (September 8 and September 15).  Also, please let me know if you are willing to be on standby to fill in as a driver should a volunteer need to cancel for September 8.

 

Football Game, September 14.  There are still several volunteer opportunities to support the game.

 

I encourage you to go to the SignUp Genius and let us know where you will help.   Don't forget that students and siblings can volunteer to citizenship credit (and it looks good on college applications!).  So, if they are looking for volunteer hours, consider the Band Boosters.
