Hello to all the concert band families out there (Symphonic, Wind Ensemble, Jazz, & Percussion Studies)! Most of our marching band students are in concert bands as well. If your student is in any kind of band class during the day, he/she needs to have the required formal wear. Boys' tuxes will be fitted this coming Monday, August 29th, during the school day. Girls can have their sizes determined at home using the sizing chart on the order form. Tux and Dress orders, and payments, are due in the "Blue Box" in the band room by Tuesday, September 7th. Call Gail Trask at 727-393-4009 with any questions - thanks!  Please see the attachment, which includes information about ordering, order form, dates, prices, and size charts.

The Seminole High School Warhawk Band will hold its annual REHEARSE-A-THON on Saturday, September 10, 2016. This award winning band will rehearse for 12 hours to raise funds that will assist each student in meeting his/her $1250.00 “Fair Share.” Please consider supporting the students with a generous pledge. Pledges can be collected in advanced or after the Rehearse-a-Thon.  All collected pledges and completed pledge sheets should be placed in a sealed envelope, clearly marked, Rehearse-a-Thon and placed in the Blue Box. 

Rehearse-a-Thon pledge sheets are attached. This is a good time to talk to your child and make a list of those family members and friends who may be interested in helping you reach your Fair Share goal. In the past, success has been seen when a personal note or phone call 

On the day of Rehearse-a-Thon, we will be holding a potluck dinner provided by each and every family in the Warhawk Band!  Dinner will be from 5-6pm.  Please go to the link below to sign-up.

September Water Duty signups are now available. 

Water duty can only run efficiently if we have enough people signed up for all shifts. Keeping 3 people signed up on every shift helps to ensure that all areas of the band are sufficiently taken care of when they are split up and rehearsing in different areas all around campus. 

Want to sign up for a specific time/day but the 3 spots are filled?  Sign up as an Alternate!  Sometimes we need to reach out to alternates for coverage if emergencies or illness keep one of the other volunteers from fulfilling their scheduled shift.

We're officially in the homestretch with only 12 games left for the season! We've got a couple of day games to fill and 3 games that fall on the same days as our own football games and Homecoming. These games are a little tricky to staff and we're probably going to need some help from recent graduates and alumni parents to get us through the baseball/football overlap. 

A few reminders: If you feel comfortable manning the kitchen alone, please sign up for both positions so that we don't end up with too many cooks. If you need to be late, please make sure that you note in the comments what time you will be there. If you need to cancel within a week of the date you are scheduled to work, please try to find your own replacement.
