Hayfield Band Boosters 2014-15 (Message 3): Pool Party and Pot Luck/Exhibition Next Week

Greetings All,

We completed Week 1 of Band Camp.  The show promises to be very exciting this season.  

Thanks to all of the parents that attended the Band Parent Meeting on Thursday night.  Information was disseminated about the Band program for the 2014-15 school year as well as the volunteer commitment required of band families.  I am attaching a summary of the discussion.  If you have questions about the band program, you can contact Mr. Burke at pburke@fcps.edu. 

Uniform assignment is underway.  Each student is assigned a full uniform (jacket, bibbers and hat) for the season.  The Boosters ensure that the uniforms are altered when necessary & ready for the start of the season.  Uniforms are always stored in the band room; the students do not take them home.  Thanks to the following Boosters for your help in assigning uniforms:  Kristy Baik, John Hishta, Kristy Moon, Eva Romero, Melvin Cloud and Patrick Cloud.  Couldn't do it without you! 

Updates
Pool Party.  The Pool Party is scheduled for Thursday, August 21 at the Hayfield Farm pool.  Students will be able to walk to the pool after rehearsal ends on Thursday afternoon.  We still need help with setup for the food.  Please go to Hayfield Band Boosters Signup Genius at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D49AEAD23A02-hssband3  and let us know where you will help.

Pot Luck/Exhibition.  You will have an opportunity to preview the show during the Exhibition/pot luck scheduled for Friday, August 22.   Dishes for the pot luck will be assigned by last name as follows:  
 
    A-E     Entrees
    F-M    Side Dishes
    N-Z     Desserts

 The Boosters will provide drinks.  We still need help with setup and clean up of the event.  You can sign up at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D49AEAD23A02-hssband3.  I hope that you will be able to participate.  

Support for Football Games.  To manage the volunteer requirements, we've divided the band into 5 sections:  Drum Majors/Section Leaders; Percussion (Drumline & Pit); Trumpets/Mellophones/Color Guard; Flutes & Clarinets; and Saxophones and Low Brass.  Each section is assigned 2 games (one Home game and one Away game).   I've attached an updated summary of the game assignments.  The assigned section's parents will be responsible for filling all of the volunteer slots for the assigned game.  In addition, we encourage you to sign up for 5 additional volunteer slots throughout the year.  Most of the slots are in the Fall in support of Football games and Competitions.  We want to continue to provide the same level of support as in years past.  However, we can not do it without your support.
