Greetings Boosters,
Friday night was a great night for football. I'm sure you all enjoyed seeing the band's half time show as well as watching them keep the Hawk spirit high in the stands. I would like to thank the many Boosters that pitched in to provide exceptional support to the band on Friday night.
Pizza Dinner. Thanks to John and Ellen Hishta for organizing Friday night's dinner. Also thanks to Kristy Baik, Linda Lichtman and Eva Romero for helping with setup, serving and teardown.Uniforms. Thanks to Theresa Larsen for finishing a mountain of uniform repairs for us this week. Theresa also had the uniforms cleaned and back in the band room for Friday night. Thanks to Eva Romero, Patrick Cloud, and Mrs Burke for helping to fit 20 students in uniforms on Friday night. Finally, thanks to Julie Do for helping store the uniforms after the game.Snacks and Water: High fives to Kristy Moon, Kelley John, Ben DeShields, Catherine Kingsley, Michelle Paxton, Carol Citron and Eva Romero for your generous donations.Pit Crew. Thanks to Michael Adams, John Hishta, Simon and Kelley John, Obaid Tawakul, Paul Loyola, and Melvin Cloud for getting the equipment out to the stadium, supporting half time and returning the equipment to the band room.
Notes for the Upcoming Week
Home Football Game. Our next home game is scheduled for Friday night, 27 September. The Band will practice after school from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Band Room will be open for the students after practice and they will be able to wait there until game time. At 5:00 p.m., the Band Boosters will provide pizza and drinks for the pre-game meal.
Football games require a lot of Booster support. We are still looking for volunteers for most of the slots needed to support the football game. Please go to Signup Genius and let us know where you will help.
If you are making a snack or water donation, please provide your donation before 6 p.m. Please donate snack items that are individually packaged. Items that are popular with the students include granola and cereal bars, chips, pop tarts, cookies, etc. If you are donating water, please provide a full case (ranges from 24-35 bottles depending on where you buy it) of 8 oz bottles. We are using 8 oz bottles this year to avoid the waste we observed last year when we used 16 oz bottles.
Snacks and water should be dropped off in the band room. Please leave them in the uniform closet where they will be secure until game time.
Other Notes
Restaurant Nights. Kristy Baik has volunteered to lead our restaurant night fundraiser this year. Our goal is to sponsor two restaurant nights this year. More information will be coming on the restaurants selected.
Band Booster Meeting, 3 October. The Boosters meet twice during the school year. Our Fall meeting is scheduled for 3 October, 7 p.m. in the Band Room. If you have a topic that you would like to see on the agenda, please send me a note at Hawkbandbooster@aol.com.
E-mail. If you know someone who should be getting our e-mails, please ask them to send me a note to Hawkbandbooster@aol.com. Likewise, if you do not wish to receive our e-mails, please send me a note.
Become a Band Patron. You can support the band program with a Band Booster membership. Annual membership is $10 per person or $20 per family. For a donation of $30 or more, you will be designated a patron and recognized on the concert programs. Your contributions help to defray the costs of music, uniforms and instruments. All donations are tax deductible. I am attaching a 2013-14 membership form. If you are interested, please place your completed form and your contribution in the Band Booster box that is located in the Band Room.
HAWKS ROCK!
