FUNDRAISER LINKS (VENUES)

Sentry: Ushering.  Working for Sentry is a great opportunity for those who want to add more fundraising dates to their calendar. It is especially good for those who do not want to work the concession stands, or cannot meet the concession stand report times. There is 1 location that we can volunteer at:

Raymond James Stadium for the Bucs, USF, Soccer, Monster Trucks and Concerts

Ray Jay - There are a lot of dates available.  Please Click on Ray Jay  to sign up for games and events

Concessions:  We have a couple of locations to work the concession stands.  Each venue has their own set of rules. Please read the info on the top portion of the signup genius for proper attire and rules

Ray Jay - We are back at Raymond James stadium in Tampa working concessions.  The sign up has changed a bit.  Stand 1 - beer cart and extras.  Everyone that has signed up for the beer cart or the "Extra" slots, names have already been turned in.  Extras may go on another beverage cart (small stand) or a food portable (small stand) the small stands close up after the 3rd quarter when alcohol stops.  Please take a look at the schedule.  There are some weekday games and weekend games, so there is something for everyone.  When we get closer to the event, Danah will update the "Extra" signups so you know what kind of stand and hopefully the location before you go.  She has been working very closely with them to make sure we have our stands, and if you have any medical issues that require you to bring a lunch bag or need handicap parking (Non Bucs Games, that do not provide buses) please contact her to get this set up either via email at warhawkbandmom@gmail.com or text to 727-475-0427 or send a message via FB Messenger as soon as you sign up for the event.

Please click on BEER to sign up to work the concession stands

The Amphitheater (The Amp) - We only have one more event left, the George Lopez show on Saturday, November 17th. This is a super easy venue to work, either with frozen drinks, or we could work Tito's Lemonade, Wine stand or a beer wall. Please take a look, we need to fill up a lot of slots.

This is probably the easiest - quick set up and clean up.  Please click on The AMP to sign up for this location

Alcohol Training:  New TEAM Alcohol & LEAD Training dates have been added for October

If you plan on working Raymond James stadium for the Bucs, USF, Monster Truck or concerts, or the Event at the Amp, you must have this training.

November 20  Booster/Parent Meeting at 7pm

TARPON PERMISSION SLIPS DUE

Hello Band Families.

 

For the many who were not at the booster meeting last night, we are reaching out for your help. For the last six weeks we have been communicating via weekly email and Facebook messages that the permission slip for this Saturday’s Tarpon Springs Outdoor Music Festival needed to be completed and returned by all families, as it was accidentally left out of the initial forms packets that all students received.

 

As of Tuesday, before the booster meeting, only 27 students had returned the necessary signed permission slip. That leaves 96 students for which we are still missing this permission slip. We travel in 4 days. This is a problem. Student leadership will be distributing hard copies to students in class tomorrow. It is very important that you ask your student for this form, sign it and have it returned into the blue box before Thursday night’s rehearsal. That’s when the box will be checked again.

 

If you’d rather download and print the form yourself, rather than waiting on your student - all forms can be found in the band website (www.seminoleband.org) under Boosters > Download Forms. You may also scan and email the form to Kendra Ford at mamafordshs@gmail.com.

 

We need your help to remain compliant with PCSB policies.

 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this.

Many times, our parents who regularly chaperone football games and competition trips fill these spots.  While we do appreciate all they do for the program, we need help from other volunteers so that our this team doesn’t get run down and burnt out during this extremely busy time.

FOOTBALL CONCESSIONS – URGENT!

We desperately need parents to sign up to help work the concession stands at our home games this football season. We only have 2 games left. Currently, we have no one signed up to work this Thursday’s JV make-up game (10/18). We also need 12 volunteers for the last football game on Friday 11/2. This is a fun way to help the general fund! The concession operations are an important general fund money maker for the band, historically raising $10,000 for our band kids each season! Please consider joining us for one game or all games!  We work hard, but it is ALWAYS FUN!  We would love to have you! For all other game, signup using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080a4fa9ae23a46-2018
