Hayfield Band Boosters (Message 47): Parents Meeting April 30 for Spring Trip; Volunteers Needed

Boosters,

We desperately need volunteers to support the Upcoming Band trip.  Parents are needed on Wednesday, April 30, 6:30 p.m., to check the students bags for items that are not allowed.  Parents are also needed Thursday, May 1, 4:30 a.m. to do a final bag check and help to load the busses.   Please go to Signup Genius and let us know where you will help.    http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D49AEAD23A02-hssband2

Other Notes
ZIPS Fundraiser.  Thanks to Theresa Larsen for organizing our recent fundraiser at ZIPS Dry Cleaning, 6216 North Kings Highway, Alexandria VA.  It was an outstanding effort and raised over $500 for the band!  Thanks to all who supported the event by taking your items to ZIPS.  We really appreciate you! 

Senior Recognition.  The final concert of the season is scheduled for June 2.  It is our tradition to collect 3 pictures of the Senior band members to display during the concert.  We'd like to get baby/child; tween/teen and senior photos if possible.  We will be collecting pictures through May 16.  Please send your photos to me as soon as possible; the e-mail address is: Hawkbandbooster@aol.com.

Volunteer Opportunities.  We still need volunteers for the Year End Awards dinner and the Graduation Luncheon.  For the Graduation Luncheon, parents of Freshman/Sophomore/Junior students should volunteer, since parents with Senior students will be attending graduation festivities.  Please go to Signup Genius and let us know if you can help.

Transition Planning.   We are still looking for a volunteer for the Band Booster Treasurer position.  Ken Lichtman has graciously served for two years; his daughter will graduate this spring. We need someone to step up to assume this role.  Please send me a note as soon as possible.  Likewise, John (our Vice President) and I will have Seniors for the 2014-2015 school year.  We need volunteers to shadow us so that we can begin the transition during the Summer of 2014--you will assume the President/Vice President roles for 2015-16 school year.  If you have questions or would like to discuss the requirements of any of the positions, please send a note or call.   Lets ensure that we have an active booster organization to support the band program.

HAWKS ROCK!
