Mark the date(s)! Please join us March 29th from 5 to 8 p.m. at Culver's, 10425 Park Blvd, Seminole, (across from Home Depot) for a SHS Band Spirit Night. Flyers are being printed and will be available as an attachment in an upcoming email, we will have flyers at our next booster meeting on March 21st, and your student can pick some up during band as well.
Also, there is a chance we might be having a “back to back” Spirit Night the next evening, March 30th, at Sweet Tomatoes at Largo Mall. More information to follow in upcoming e-mails. Please consider attending both and supporting our band program. Remember, Spirit Nights are general fundraisers that support all students in all of the band programs. Besides supporting the band, it's one, possibly two nights of not having to cook - who can argue with that!
Due to the construction at Seminole Mall, the Pow Wow parade will be lining up in the South West parking lot of St. Petersburg College Seminole Campus. The Parade begins at 10:00am.

Families, there are several opportunities coming up to train for the Trop. This is one of our biggest fundraisers, and is critical to the success of the program. In order to work shifts, you must have the following:
TEAM training for alcohol: Must be 18 to work as a cashier and serve alcohol. This training is good for 3 years.
Orientation: This training is for folks new to the stand to be allowed to sign up for shifts. Must be 16.
We will be having ORIENTATION at SHS on March 27 from 7:00 - 8:15. This does NOT include TEAM training. If your alcohol training is out of date, or if you're not sure, please contact me.
If you cannot make the Orientation at SHS on 3/27, here are sign-ups for optional training dates being offered at the Trop.

Both the Seminole Winter Guard and Indoor Percussion Ensemble will be performing along with the Seminole Middle School beginning at 7:15. There will also be a silent auction with the winners being announced at the end of the performances!
We will need about 6 volunteers on the day of the event to arrive around 4:00 to help set up. We will also need about 6 volunteers to help serve and cook. We want everyone to see the performances, so we will be cleaning up after the program ends.

Spaghetti Dinner is a fundraiser that benefits Winter Guard and Indoor Percussion. It is expected that these two groups would provide the food and monetary donations to roll out the dinner. The entire band family and friends are encouraged to attend the Spaghetti Dinner and enjoy the show.
We plan on feeding approximately 250 people this year. In the past two years, we have been able to make the Spaghetti Dinner 100% profitable by soliciting donations for the labor and food items needed to make it happen. Feel free to sign up for as many donations as you like! Don't forget, we need volunteers, too - so check the other sign up genius list to put in some valued time!
For this sign up, you are either donating MONEY to purchase the needed items listed OR THE ACTUAL ITEM. All money and items are due by Monday, March 6th. If you are donating the money for the item, place the proper amount in CASH in an envelope labeled "Spaghetti Dinner Donations" and put it in the Blue Box. If you are donating the actual item, place it in the Booster Room by March 6th.
NOTE: Publix has many Italian BOGO items this week - sale runs 2/24-3/1! Pasta included!
