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.
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.

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.

NOTICE: When working at a venue (ie Raymond James, Al Lang, etc.), it is YOUR responsibility to provide proof that you worked the actual event you signed up for. Take a picture of your sign-in sheet and forward it to the AR Treasurer. These sheets are not provided by the venue when they send payment!
If you do not provide documentation, then your child’s individual ledger WILL NOT be credited, and the money will go into the general band fund.
Buccaneers Pre-Season Games – We are asking for help from parents to work the Bucs games on Aug. 16th & Aug. 23rd. Approximate start time 3:30 pm -4:00 pm. Please see link below.
We also need 3 or 4 volunteers willing to take the Lead training at Raymond James on August 11th. We can pick our time slot. 11am, 2pm, 4pm. A lead does not get anything extra; it is just a position that makes sure our people are accounted for and that our money gets picked up & turned in after each game. You will not have to do it every time. That is why I am asking for help. We must have a lead at EVERY game therefore, not to be a hardship on just a few, we need at least 5 or 6 to volunteer. We need to know asap so Emily can let Legends know.
