Greetings Boosters,
Thanks to those who attended the Band Parent Coffee on Thursday night. We had great discussion about the band program and Band Booster activities for the year. If you were unable to attend but have questions, please send them to me.
The Week of 26 August
Pot Luck Dinner. The annual back-to-school pot luck dinner will be held on 29 August. Dishes will be assigned by last name as follows:
A-E Entrees
F-M Side Dishes
N-Z Desserts
Please ensure your name is on containers that must be returned. Also, if possible, please bring the appropriate serving utensils for your dishes. Dishes should be dropped off in the Middle School cafeteria at 5:45 p.m. At 6:00 p.m., the students will present an exhibition in the parking lot at the back of the school. Dinner will begin immediately following the exhibition. We are still looking for volunteers to assist with setup, serving, and clean-up for the dinner.
Hawk Flight Information Station. We will have a table at Hawk Flight on 27-28 August. We will be accepting Booster and patron signups as well as distributing information about our upcoming fruit sale. I am looking for a volunteer to man the table the morning of 28 August.
Marching Band Uniform Distribution We will be assigning uniforms 26 - 28 August during evening rehearsals (5-8 p.m.). I am looking for volunteers to help with fitting and repairing (primarily button replacement) uniforms. Please go to Signup Genius and let me know where you can help.
Shoes for Marching Band. Several parents asked for information about Marching Band shoes at the Band Parent Coffee. A shoe salesman will visit the school sometime during 26-29 August during evening rehearsal. Students will be able to order the shoes during this time. Payment must be made at the time of purchase. If you would like to buy shoes, please send a check for $30 payable to Hayfield Band Boosters with your child on Monday, 26 August.
Signup Genius. Signup Genius is now active. There are many opportunities to help throughout the year. We are requesting that each family commit to at least 5 opportunities so that we can spread the work. Our Signup Genius site is at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D49AEAD23A02-hssband2
Other Notes:
Tag Day. Tag Day is our major booster fundraiser. Tag Day #1 is scheduled for Saturday, 7 September and Tag Day #2 will be held 14 September. Volunteers are needed to drive the students on both days and to donate items for breakfast. Please go to Signup Genius and let us know where you will help. Please encourage your students to participate in Tag Day. Students who participate in each Tag Day will receive funds to apply toward the cost of the Spring Trip.
Athletic Booster Liaison. Thanks to Theresa Larsen for volunteering to serve as liaison to the Athletic Boosters.
