We have been invited to volunteer for the FMEA conference in January 2019. The Conference runs from Wednesday, January 9th through Saturday, January 12th. The conference is being held at the Tampa Convention Center. The Seminole High School Band Boosters volunteer at this event running the registration area and selling tickets for the various All State Concerts.

Please sign up 1 per person - meaning - your name = 1 person. If you are signing up your spouse to work, please go back in and sign them up individually (scroll down to use the alternate name). Be sure to include your cell phone number. Dress is business casual. 

Things to know before signing up to volunteer:

- Volunteers need to attend the training taking place on Wednesday, Jan. 9th beginning at 9:00 am.

- You need to sign up for a full day of volunteering, unless other arrangements are made in advance.

- Volunteers will receive a light breakfast and coffee, lunch and an afternoon snack.

- You are required to pay for your own parking, so it is best to carpool.

- SHS Boosters will receive a donation which will be equally divided amongst the volunteers.

Schedule is on the sign-up genius:

Hey Parents! Each year, the school is required to send out surveys to staff, students, and parents. If they meet their quota, there is a subsidy that is distributed between successful schools. As of now, SHS needs 256 more parents to take the survey. It's online, anonymous, and can be completed as quickly as 2 minutes! Please have all adults in your household complete the survey, and any other non-household family members that can help, as well!

Thanks for helping our school and our students!

Hey Parents! The Winter Season is upon us, and all of our Winter Programs are firing up! Each program will have a mandatory parent meeting that each student, along with at least one parent, is required to attend. These meetings will discuss scheduling, meals, attire, show dates, volunteer needs, and Fair Share (financial) contributions. It is imperative that you attend these meetings - if for some reason you encounter an extenuating circumstance and cannot attend, please notify your program director, and they will arrange for you to be contacted with the materials discussed. Please join us and be a part of what makes our Program great - FAMILIES!

Dates are as follows:

Winter Guard - Friday, December 14 at 5:30pm

Indoor Percussion - Saturday, December 15 at 8:30pm

Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, High Noon Jazz Band, and All In Big Band - Monday, December 17 at 7:00pm

At each meeting, a $100 Participation Pledge will be collected from each student. Please bring a cash or a check for $100 made out to SHSBB. This amount will be deducted from your Fair Share total - the amount and schedule for payments will be announced at the meetings! This Participation Pledge is so important to the programs, as it gives them the startup funding needed to begin ordering music, uniforms, floors, etc. THANK YOU for your participation!

There will be signs posted as to where meetings will take place - with all programs rehearsing and Winter Concerts taking place, space is very limited, and meeting places are TBA for now!

Thanks in advance for attending, and we will see you SOON!

We will have some tag days in December - sign up will be coming soon.
