DCI (DRUM CORPS) SEMI-FINAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

On Friday, August 12, the full marching band will watch the DCI semi finals championships at the band room on our brand-new projection system.  This will start at approximately 6 PM and continue until approximately 11:30 PM.  This event will replace the DCI quarterfinals movie event that the students typically attend (for the past eight years).  The reason for the switch is because the movie event falls on a school night-the second day of school due to the early start this year.  Sections will be encouraged to have dinner together then meet at the band room for the evening performances.

Percussion students must also complete an instrument rental contract for the use of front ensemble and battery/drumline equipment.  The instrumental information will be generalized.

For the regular school year, the instrument rental fee is $35 per semester or $60 for the year.  Checks should be made payable to Seminole High School and can be submitted to the Blue Box in the Band Room.  Free and Reduced Lunch privileges are applicable for instrument rental.  Please contact a band officer for additional information.

SEMINOLE SOUND ADVERTISING

It’s not too early to start hitting the pavement and selling ads for Seminole Sound. Attached is a list of previously contacted businesses so that the parent who contacted them last year has the first opportunity to contact the same. After two weeks, all is fair game – July 30th.  Please note that we will not be printing a Seminole Visual Program this year. So we will not be selling Gold Sponsorship ads for Sound. Prices are the same this year for all ads.

The ad sales forms will be available at the Booster Meeting Tuesday and will be sent out in an e-mail later this week. Sometime after July 30th, we’ll post another contacted businesses update so that you know which businesses NOT to contact. Please keep Kim Bernstein informed as you sell ads so that we don’t duplicate efforts. If you have any questions, please email Kim Bernstein @ mailto:kbernstein68@gmail.com
