We are in need of a few chaperones/parent drivers for Jazz MPA on Friday, February 22nd. Time commitment is roughly 3-9pm, and we need registered drivers with Level 2 clearance as we are taking private passenger vehicles to the event at Dixie Hollins High School. Please signup if you can help and indicate how many students you can transport.
Additional concert band dates are listed on this signup as well. If you can help on any other these other dates, please sign up to secure your spot.
Contact Kendra Ford with any questions: 727-798-8654 or mamafordshs@gmail.com.
The meeting minutes from our January Booster Meeting are attached. The next Booster Meeting, aka Parent Meeting, is February 19th at 7pm. (Unless otherwise noted, the Parent Booster Meeting will always be held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7pm in either the Band Room or the Chorus Room at the high school.) If you have any questions, please contact any board member at the contacts at the bottom of the email. Please attend! The band cannot be amazing without amazing parent support!
The Band Boosters currently have the position of "Contracts Officer" open due to a vacated position. This is a Board position. We need to fill the open position as quickly as possible. In accordance with our bylaws, the Board has nominated Cyndie Moore for the position of Contracts Officer. Voting for this position will take place at the next Booster Meeting, which is scheduled for February 19, 2019 at 7pm. If there is anyone else who is interested in being nominated for the position, you must notify the Executive Board in writing prior to the meeting. Attendance of this Booster Meeting is vital. We must have at least 25 Boosters in attendance to be able to vote someone into a board position. Please be sure to join us on 2/19/19 @ 7pm.
This is a friendly reminder that with the various concert and jazz band events coming up very soon, we want to reflect the best possible impression of our award-winning program. You can help us by ensuring the following:
· Your student’s concert attire should be clean and wrinkle-free. It’s best to transport concert attire to and from school in a garment bag rather than in student Warhawk bags.
· Appropriate footwear should be worn. We recommend those wearing dresses should wear closed toe flats or heels. No sandals or sneakers.
· Students who wear tuxedos should wear long black socks. No sock with designs.
· Some students opt to wear sports bras or leggings/long pants under their dresses. Please ensure these clothing articles cannot be seen when in concert dress - while sitting and walking.
All students should own all attire needed for concerts and should not be using the uniform room donations as their own personal items. If they are missing items or need to borrow something for an emergency, please speak with Leadership or contact our Uniform Mom, Beckie Biglin.

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.
