August Fair Share donations are now due. July payments and participation pledges are overdue. It is imperative that we receive these donations in order to be able to start our marching season. If you are unable to meet your Fair Share contribution, please contact an Executive Board member.

PLEASE NOTE: There are a few fundraisers that have not been entered into Charms and therefore are not reflected on your child's ledger. Thank you for your patience.

 

We are in the home stretch! We are currently at $12,045!!

We have 9 days left-Thank you for everything you
are doing to bring in donations for this fundraiser. Now I'm going to ask you
to do more...with 9 days left I think we can exceed our $13,000 goal. We
currently have a little less than 60% of our students participating. Imagine
what we might raise if the other 40% were to share this link, send out some
emails, or send some text messages? I'm asking everyone to keep pushing and let’s
exceed our goal!

 

Don’t forget about Scrips cards during this Back to School shopping season. You can earn over $50 towards fair share today just by purchasing gift cards through them for the stores where you plan on shopping.  The set-up instructions are on the Seminole Band website. http://www.seminoleband.org.  Click on the Booster tab and then click on Fundraising. You can purchase gift cards for stores, and you receive rebates. The percentage of rebate varies by company. Their website gives you a list of store/companies that participate and the percentage you get back. Many of them offer e-cards-so you can purchase and use with your phone while out shopping. The rebates go directly to your students Fair Share. There are cards for most anything you might normally purchase, so you don't have to purchase anything you wouldn't normally buy.

 

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 success it has been in the past. Signups will be coming out soon but please make arrangements 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.
