Orientation will include Centerplate/Rays policies, procedures, logistics and other important information for any new volunteers participating in the 2017 Centerplate Fundraising Program at Tropicana Field. Orientation is required for every new volunteer, unless you completed the orientation training in the 2015 or 2016 season.
T.E.A.M will cover the Responsible Alcohol Service and Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management "T.E.A.M" Certification. T.E.A.M training is required for all volunteers and employees who will be cashiers during events, as they will be serving alcohol. All volunteers and employees completing this training must be at least 18 years of age. Upon successful completion the certification is good for 3 years.

The Rays game is always a fun event to chaperone! We need chaperones that are Level II and can drive students to the Trop. If you are a chaperone, you do not need to buy a ticket to get into the game, but you will be required to sit with the students in the student section. All chaperones must wear khaki pants, green band polo with closed toe shoes and must wear their Level II badge. We need 12 chaperones and will also need someone to pull the trailer. Please note how many students you can transport to the Trop in your vehicle.

Mini Camp is here! We are looking for volunteers to sign up for Water Duty throughout the day June 1-3 during Mini Camp for band & guard. For those who are new to the program, Water Duty is an important way that we help support our kids. Please review the attached signup link & fill a spot or two to help keep our kids hydrated during rehearsals. Shifts are 1.5-2 hours each. Feel free to contact Kendra Ford @ kendrina3994@gmail.com with questions.
We will be distributing full uniforms from the Uniform Fundraiser for those who pre-ordered on the evenings of Mini Band Camp see schedule below:
Thursday, 6/1: 7-8 pm
Friday, 6/2: 7-8 pm
Saturday before the mandatory meeting, 6/3: 5-6 pm
If you can’t make one of these dates, please email Kim Bernstein @ kbernstein68@gmail.com to schedule another date to pick yours up.
While this year is quickly winding down, we are simultaneously gearing up for next year's Marching Season! The kids are incredibly excited about the new show theme -- SPLIT, and it promises to be a great year for the Warhawk Marching Band!
This year we decided to theme our Mandatory Marching Band meeting choosing the name STEPOFF. As many veteran parents may know, this is the kick-off meeting to our new Season! It’s an exciting time for the kids as well as the parents. And we ask that you join us to a Fresh New Start!
As you may know, we have 1 pm-8 pm practices scheduled for all students who are participating in the 2017 Marching Band. Dates are Thursday, June 1st, Friday, June 2nd, and Saturday, June 3rd.
Following the June 3rd practice at 7 pm, there will be a mandatory meeting for ALL students and at least one parent (students will join us after their practice). Each and every student and one or more parents will be required to attend in order to have a spot written for them in the marching show. Any family not able to attend must email Mr. Madrinan at gmadrinan@gmail.com to request an excused absence. If you do not attend and do not request an excusal, you will not be written into the show. Please understand that this is our way of ensuring that we have commitments from families before we incur the expense of designing the drill and writing the musical score for your student.
Also in this regard, we will be requesting a $100 participation pledge for each student at the meeting on June 3rd. This will go toward your Fair Share, which will be announced sometime in the month of June. The participation pledge can be in the form of cash, check*, or credit card. Checks should be made out to SHSBB, please. (see attachment)
Lastly, we will be holding our first Forms Night on June 3rd as well, following the mandatory meeting. You may pick up your forms packets and take them home, but we encourage you to stay and fill them out on site. We will have a notary public there to notarize the required form. We will also be selling season tickets, taking band camp dinner orders and payment for Band Camp meals, registering new and returning volunteers, and more! This is an important and very convenient night for parents to complete all of the required paperwork for next year, all in one evening! Please plan to attend. FORMS ARE BEING WORKED AND WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.
We are looking for some parent volunteers that can help during the STEPOFF mandatory meeting and/or possibly at the next forms meeting that we plan to have over the summer.
• A Doctor that can perform Physicals for $20 (approx.) during the Forms nights or during one of our summer band camp dates. If you are a doctor or know someone that is and would be willing to come one or two nights to perform physicals for $20 per student (funds going to the doctor), please let me know as soon as possible.
• A Notary to help notarize the Liability form in the packets on June 3rd and the second forms night on June 27th.
• And additional volunteers to help during the STEPOFF meeting on June 3rd with duties such as ordering band polos, collecting forms, helping sign parents up with committees, selling season tickets and more. (6:30-9:30 pm)
Please contact Kim Bernstein @ kbernstein68@gmail.com if you are able to help with one of these valuable positions.
Support the Seminole Warhawk Marching Band as they take the field for a special pre-game performance and playing of the National Anthem at the Rays vs Orioles game on Friday, June 23rd.
Tickets are $20 with $5 applied to individual ledgers. Please make checks payable to SSHBB and place in the blue box. Feel free to contact Lourdes Pickart at luly632@gmail.com with questions or to purchase tickets.
Help us spread the word by sharing the information with family, friends, co-workers, etc.
