Because Festival of Winds suddenly changed their festival dates, the winter concert had to move to Friday, December 9th.
News
Because Festival of Winds and the Winter Concert had to move dates, the marching band practice for the Holiday parades has been moved to Saturday, December 10th. On this day, the band will practice from 10a-12p, break for lunch, and then coming back to SHS for the Pinellas Park Parade that evening. This parade includes a competitive routine that will be taught at the rehearsal. Students who will not be present at the parade should have a parent contact Mr. Madrinan immediately. The cash prize for this parade is a Band Booster budgeted item. Due to the great importance and profitability of the parade, attendance is absolutely MANDATORY. The Seminole Holiday will be the following day in the evening time. Students and chaperones are required to be "illuminated" by either battery-powered lights or glow sticks. This parade will not include the routine from the night before.

We are doing a band garage sale fundraiser October 1st from 6:30 am to 1pm. It’s a great time to get rid of unwanted things and best of all, the profits you make go directly into your child’s fair share ledger!
We will be starting set up at the high school at 6:30 am, please try to aim to be set up no later than 7:15. You will need to bring your own supplies; table, chairs, tent, etc. Also, it’s VERY IMPORTANT to bring your own change as you will be cashing out sales at your own table. We will collect the money at the end of the day directly from you and it will be applied to your fair share ledger.
Please use the sign up genius link to register as a seller. We are also requesting some additional hands for set up and break down if possible. We will be using the east end of the parking lot, as there is band practice that day. Please use the 86th avenue entrance across from the middle school to come in to the lot. Anything that is left over at the end of the sale, you may either take home or we will be collecting everything left and donating to a nearby charity.
We will be making signs to place around the community early next week to advertise, as well as putting an ad in Craigslist and garage sale groups on Facebook. We will be creating a flyer and will send it out to everyone next week to share on social media or however you may wish.
Please feel free to contact Jen Roque at 727-612-1505 or jenroque76@gmail.com with any questions you may have. We are looking forward to a great turnout and a busy sale!!

Before each practice ends, the entire band typically does a run through of the show. We would encourage parents to bring a lawn chair, a cold drink and come watch the kids perform. See what's going on and take in some beautiful music and marching. The kids are working hard and it shows! They love having an audience! (Just be careful not to talk over the instructors :).

October: The first water date in October is a Saturday 9am-9pm full band rehearsal day. Be on the lookout for fruit signups for this date, as well as our need to have full shifts during this all day event. We have plenty of grapes for this day, but will need pineapple & watermelon.
