Symphonic Band & Wind Ensemble will participate in Concert MPA on Tuesday, March 5th at Pinellas Park High School.  Both groups will be traveling together - but because of the early performance time for our first group, school buses are not available.  To help reduce cost to the program for charter buses, we are asking for parents with Level 2 clearance to volunteer to drive students to & from the event.  This event is less than 2 weeks away & we need to ensure we can transport all 90 students.  Please sign up NOW so that we can get an idea of how many drivers are available to us.

 There are separate sign-up spots for Chaperones vs Drivers Only.  We will need approximately 8-9 parents to remain on site as chaperones during the event. Itinerary should be released soon, but volunteer commitment appears to be roughly 3:30-10pm and potential for a few trips between SHS & PPHS if we don’t get enough help to transport everyone in one trip.

Permission Slips are required for all band events where travel is part of the plan.  Please complete the attached slip & return it to school with your student by the end of next week.  All signed permission slips should be placed in the Blue Box or you may text or email a copy to Kendra Ford at 727-798-8654 or mamafordshs@gmail.com.

The Seminole High School Band Aides Boosters in coordination with the Florida Federation of Color guards will host the Annual Seminole Visual Spectacular Competition on Saturday, March 16th, at the Seminole High School gym. This is a MAJOR FUNDRAISER FOR THE ENTIRE BAND PROGRAM, and we will need 'all hands on deck' to make this another successful event.

Schools are still signing up for this event, so we do not have the final count attending.  Shift times & quantity needed may change as we get closer to the event.

All volunteers need to wear their orange "SHOW HOST" shirts or the green SHS band booster’s polo and khaki pants or shorts & wear comfortable shoes.

Volunteers are not given free admission to the show unless they have volunteered/worked for eight hours or more.

Volunteers get a meal tickets for every 4 hours that they work:

1 shift = 0 meal tickets

2 shifts = 1 meal ticket

3 shifts = 2 meal tickets

4 shifts = 3 meal tickets

Friday, March 8th

Seminole High School Gym

18 days away

There are 38 volunteer spots for the Spaghetti Dinner and only 18 have been filled. 

We still need 16.2% of our donations filled.

And only 49 people have confirmed they are coming to the dinner.

Donations are needed for the silent auction.  Please contact Tina Lakhotia is you have items that can be used for the silent auction.

We need everyone’s help to make this event successful!

·         We need 2 people to arrive at 3 pm that begin the process of setting up the gas pot cookers and get the sauce and meatballs going. Pasta will be pre-cooked and warmed during event.

·         We need about 4 additional people to arrive at the school around 4 p.m. to help with set up.

·         The other volunteer jobs should be self-explanatory.

·         We don't want anyone to miss the show, so if we have to, we can do the cleanup and breakdown after the performances.

·         The sign up for 50/50 is a good job for someone that is good with talking to people - you will be selling the tickets and the more we sell, the more we make (and give to the winner!)

·         Students can earn volunteer hours at this event

We plan on feeding approximately 150 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. We are fortunate enough that Kevin Green has volunteered to donate all the spaghetti sauce, noodles, meatballs, Parmesan cheese & bread!  THANK YOU, KEVIN GREEN!!!  There are still areas that we need donations.  Feel free to sign up for as many donations as you like! Don't forget, we need many volunteers, too - so check the other sign up genius list to put in some valued time!

Performing Student’s dinner starts at 5:00pm - cost for dinner is $8

Family & friends dinner starts at 6:00pm – cost for dinner is $12

Shows will start at 7:30pm - Door entry only for family & friends is $5

You can pay for the dinners at the door but please RSVP for the dinner below so we have an idea of how many people will be attending.  In addition, if you would please RSVP for your performing student it would help with our count.

The Kiwanis Club of Seminole is a volunteer-service organization that has been a long time, avid supporter of the SHS Band Programs - marching band, concert bands, winter guard, and SIPE.  Each year, they ask the organizations at SHS to participate alongside other community groups in the annual “Fire Truck Pull.”

This year, Mr. Madrinan is requiring the entire marching band to participate in 4 separate section teams:

1.      Woodwinds

2.      Brass

3.      Color Guard

4.      Percussion

Please communicate schedule conflicts immediately to Mr. Madrinan, otherwise you will be expected to participate.  Students will receive a free t-shirt from the event, and winning teams will receive medals.  Strength and agility are not pre-requisites for this event.  The SHS Band Program is showing their support of the Kiwanis Club of Seminole in return for their steadfast and consistent support of kids of our program.

This event is mandatory for all marching band members. Mr. Madrinan will excuse appropriate Sunday obligations, but they must be communicated immediately.

Itinerary:

Transportation on own.
