9/23/19 Next Week in Band

9/22/2019

Hello band families,

Please note that we DO have practice on Monday, September 23, 7am, before school.

Thanks to all who came to the booster meeting on Tuesday night. We had a lot of information to discuss and I hope it wasn’t too overwhelming. Please note the Roadie/Schlepping times below and volunteer to help where you can. If you weren’t able to make it to the meeting, we will be posting the minutes under the member's section of our website. Also THANK YOU to Kelley Tuel for designing the pelts for us and to those who took the pelts home to cut, THANK YOU! Please return them to the band room by Monday so the students can practice with them. 

Parents, this Monday the 23rd is the District Showcase at BVNW. This is when all the high school bands come together to showcase their fall productions. This is a student-centered band performance and not really intended for a large fan audience. Parents are welcome to attend but seating is very limited as the majority of the stadium is reserved for band members.  

It’s time for BOA! We will be sending out an additional email at the beginning of next week with all the information you will need for BOA.  

CORRECTIONS 
• There is school on Monday the 23rd for high school, and 7am practice. The calendar has been updated. 
• Jenni Daniel will NOT be able to hold your Mums (my fault, I misunderstood what she was telling me).  Please make arrangements to pick up your Mums on Saturday from 8-12 (or have someone pick them up for you).

REMINDERS
  • FINAL BAND PAYMENT IS DUE FRIDAY, SEPT. 20. Please have your student drop a check in the payment box outside the band office for the remaining balance on your account.  
  • MUM PICK UP THIS SATURDAY..  REMINDER - RAIN OR SHINE - Mums pick up is this Saturday, September 21st, 8 am to noon, in the band parking lot. Please make sure you have made plans to either have your buyer pick their mums up or that YOU will be picking them up. We DO NOT have any place to house these if buyers do not show up.
Questions - contact Jenni Daniel.
  • Get your BOA tickets and reserve your hotel now!  BOA 2019.  If you haven’t gotten your tickets you will have to pick them up at Will-Call.  You can buy tickets for prelims and finals. If you buy prelims and we make finals, you will be able to go to the ticket booth and buy final tickets.  If we make finals, the students will not return to BVSW until very early Sunday morning-like 2-4 am early. If your student isn’t awake enough to drive home, Mr. Lesando will call you to come to pick them up.  Safety tip from your booster president: just plan on picking them up.

FUNDRAISING
Thanks to all who helped make Jersey Mike's a success! We should hear soon how we did, but reports from people who went said the line was out the door! 

COMING UP: Charlie's Car Wash (October) and Butter Braid Sales (November). 

Letter Campaign: We will be trying a letter campaign this year for direct donations to the band. The board and directors have been working to make this happen for some time. A letter has been approved and we will be working with students after BOA to get them sent out to donors. Families are encouraged to begin gathering 10 mailing addresses and 10 stamps or $5.50 for postage. Please watch your email closely after BOA for further details and a copy of the letter.  Any questions can be directed to Kelly Ketner at bvswbandmom@gmail.com.

ROADIE/SCHLEPPING
Another busy week and football game # 2, BV Band Festival on Monday and then our BOA trip on the next Friday.  We have got the props pretty much done, just waiting for the artwork so we can attach that on.
