SEMINOLE SOUND & VOLUNTEER SIGNUP

SAVE THE DATE – Saturday, October 5TH!

The 43rd Annual Seminole Sound Spectacular is scheduled for Saturday October 5th, 2019. Marching Bands from all over the state will attend our event. We will need everyone’s help to make this the successful as it has been in the past.  Please plan now so you can be scheduled off work or if you need someone to help watch your children.  This event cannot happen without everyone’s help!  Friends & family are welcome to volunteer too.  Here is the link for the volunteer signup.  Shifts are broken up into 2 different shifts, but we ask that everyone sign up for 2 if able.

Your family & friends can purchase a season ticket now that will include admission to Sound.  This is an event they will not want to miss!  Contact Emily Simpson to purchase tickets. 502-378-2102. 

 

Sitting is limited during this event and we ask that our parents not sit in the stands to watch the performance.  The students will be performing the night before at the football game. Please come and watch them perform then.  During Seminole Sound, we need your help by volunteering.

If you approach a company to advertise, please send an email listing the date you asked, the company name & location if it is a chain business, and your students name.  Send email to:  shsbbspecialevents@gmail.com.

 

Golf Carts

If you, a family member, neighbor, work, or someone else you know has a golf cart that we could borrow on Saturday, October 5th, you would make our work so much easier.  We need anywhere from 6 to 10 golf carts to setup, run the event, and take down in the evening.  Please let Beckie Biglin know if you can help at shsbbspecialevents@gmail.com.

 

Trailers

If you, a family member, neighbor, work, or someone else you know has a flatbed trailer with side railings and a ramp, please let us know.  We use these to transport band equipment during the performance from the practice site at Bauder Elementary to Seminole High School student parking entrance.  We need anywhere from 6 to 10 trailers.  We will also need drivers to pull the trailers.  If this is something you would be able to help with, please let Beckie Biglin know at shsbbspecialevents@gmail.com.

 

FRIENDS & FAMILY NIGHT THURSDAY

We would love to see a full parking lot for Friends & Family Night on Thursday.  You may want to arrive Thursday by 8:15 PM so you don’t miss anything; also bring a cold drink and a chair.  It really helps the students get rid of those first performance jitters by practicing in front of a lot of their parents and friends.  Please come, your students will enjoy having their family there.

2019 MARCHING BAND POTLUCK DINNER SEPT 7TH – SIGN UP

The kids have a rehearsal on Saturday, Sept. 7th from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Dinner will be a potluck provided by every family in the Warhawk Band and Guard! Dinner will be from 5-6 p.m. Setup will be at 4 p.m. Food donations need to be delivered between 4-4:30 p.m. 

Provide whatever you like! Bring a secret family recipe with enough to feed your family plus a few more! 10 servings are a good starting place! Ideas of things to bring: Fruit or veggie trays, Salads, Vegetables or other side items, Main Courses, Casseroles, Pasta Dishes, Desserts... If you don't like to cook, bring something premade from the store (Sandwich rings, fried chicken, etc.) The options are endless! This should be a fun way for the kids to enjoy a meal with an unlimited amount of family and friends, and then for the family and friends to enjoy the run-through of the kids' show! 

Please sign up and RSVP for the Potluck!

Also, Stephanie Hubbard, is looking for volunteers to be co-organizers with her! Please comment below or contact her if you can help.

Remember, you would need to feed your student dinner, regardless - this is meant to be a fun social opportunity for our families to relax and enjoy each other’s company while also feeding your student! Bring a chair and enjoy!

We need every family to participate - if you cannot come, you still need to send a dish as your student will be eating this as their dinner meal. If you would like to contribute more than one item, that is fantastic; sign up as much as you'd like. Your kids will be thankful for the variety in this fun-filled-family-style-feast! 

Please be sure to send any necessary serving utensils and pick up your dishes after cleanup! 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please DO NOT include your student(s) in your RSVP count below. It will be assumed that all students will eat.

August Fair Share donations are now due. July payments and participation pledges are overdue. It is imperative that we receive these donations for our marching season.
