Hayfield Band Boosters (Message 24)--Final Home Football Game, November 2; Senior Recognition

Greetings Boosters,
 
I hope you are weathering the storm.  Please stay safe. 
 
Our final home football game is scheduled for Friday night.   Please come out and support the Hayfield Hawks.
 
Planning notes
Marching Band Awards Dinner.  We still need volunteers for setup and cleanup at the Awards Dinner, November 7.  The dinner will be a pot luck and you will be asked to contribute a dish.  I will send out a follow-up e-mail that assigns dishes by the first letter of your last name.
   
Fruit Sale:  Only one week remains to sell more fruit!  Fruit sales have not reached the levels that we had hoped for.  In this final week, please encourage your student to reach out to neighbors, friends and family to give them the opportunity to buy delicious Florida-grown fruit.  Lindahas prepared another flyer that  can be distributed throughout your neighborhood and at other school activities.  I've attached it to this e-mail.
 
Navel oranges and red grapefruit are offered for $18.00 for a box of 16-18 navel oranges or 8-10 red grapefruit. Mixed boxes of 6-8 oranges and 5 grapefruit are available for $20.00. Fruit will be delivered in early December.  Students will earn money in the form of credits toward their spring trip account for each box of fruit sold. The more they sell, the less the trip will cost.
 
Remember, you can order online this year at https://www.floridaindianrivergroves.com/shopnow.asp?id=593029. If ordering online, please use your student's seller ID (obtainable by e-mail from lindalichtman@yahoo.com) to ensure the sale is properly credited. Ordering online offers two delivery options--delivery to Hayfield or delivery directly to a home address. The price when delivering to Hayfield will be the same as quoted above. The price per box when delivered to a different location will be $35.00 per box.
 
Senior Boutonnieres.   Kristy Baik will lead a team in making the boutonnieres for our recognition of our Senior Marching Hawks.  I am looking for 1 additional volunteer with a Freshman or Sophomore student to help in this effort.  It is important that we are able to keep the tradition going by always having Boosters familiar with the process.  Please go to Signup Genius and let us know if you can help.
 
Spring Trip.  The Spring trip is scheduled for April 17-21.  The trip includes lodging, bus transportation, adjudication and performance fees, 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners, a 3-day park-hopper pass to Walt Disney World Parks, dining coupons for the parks and a dinner show experience.  Students will need to bring money for 1 dinner, 2 breakfasts, 4 lunches and money for shopping.  The cost is $680 dollars, payable in 5 payments of $136.  The second payment is due November 15 with additional payments due January 4, February 1, and March 1.  Checks should be payable to Hayfield Secondary School.  Note:  the cost of each student's trip will be adjusted with any fundraising credits that he/she accrues in his/her Booster organization account. 
 
Pictures and Videos.  I'm still looking for pictures and videos.  Thanks to those who have provided pictures of the band.  We still need more.  If you have taken pictures and recorded videos of the band throughout the season, please share them with us. We would like to show some of them at the Band Awards Dinner in November. Please send copies to HawKBandBooster@verizon.net or call me to get the details on how to upload them directly to the Band's Shutterfly account.  All submissions are needed NLT 2 November.
