WE NEED YOUR HELP! We need parents to sign up to help work the concession stands at our home game this Friday 8/24. We need 20 parents, but we only have 7 signed up so far! This is a fun way to help out 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

 

Saturday, September 1st is not just an ordinary 9-9 practice. It's our annual REHEARSE-A-THON! Families are encouraged to use the attached form to help raise funds toward their individual ledgers. Friends and family can donate a flat fee, or a pledge per hour - and monies can be collected either before or after the Rehearse-a-thon. All checks should be made out to SHSBB, please! Payments should be placed in the Blue Box in an envelope marked REHEARSE-A-THON and your student's name. It's a fun and easy way to fundraise! 

 

The SHS open house will be Wednesday, August 29th from 6-8:15pm. Please join us!

The kids have a rehearsal on Saturday, Sept. 1st from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Dinner will be a potluck provided by each and every family in the Warhawk Band and Guard! Dinner will be from 5-6 p.m. Setup will be at 4 p.m. Food donations need to be delivered between 4-4:30 p.m. 

Provide whatever you like! Bring a secret family recipe with enough to feed your family plus a few more! 10 servings is a good starting place! Ideas of things to bring: Fruit or veggie trays, Salads, Vegetables or other side items, Main Courses, Casseroles, Pasta Dishes, Desserts... If you don't like to cook, bring something premade from the store (Sandwich rings, fried chicken, etc) The options are endless! This should be a fun way for the kids to enjoy a meal with an unlimited amount of family and friends, and then for the family and friends to enjoy the run-through of the kids' show! Signup using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0E4EAFA622A5F58-2018

**Remember, you would need to feed your student dinner, regardless - this is meant to be a fun social opportunity for our families to relax and enjoy each other’s' company while also feeding your student! Bring a chair and enjoy! **

We need every family to participate - if you cannot come, you still need to send a dish as your student will be eating this as their dinner meal. If you would like to contribute more than one item, that is fantastic; sign up as much as you'd like. If you want to bring something and the signup slot is filled, that is okay - bring it anyway! Your kids will be thankful for the variety in this fun-filled-family-style-feast! 

Please be sure to send any necessary serving utensils and pick up your dishes after cleanup!

42nd Annual Seminole Sound Spectacular

Saturday, October 6th

The Annual Seminole Sound Spectacular is a Marching Band Competition, hosted by the Seminole Warhawk Band Boosters at our own Warhawk Stadium. As one of the oldest, most storied events in the Marching Band arena, it is the single largest General Fund Fundraiser that exists within our Band.  The Program is attended by bands, large and small, from across the state and beyond.

An endeavor as sizable as this requires help from each parent, extended family members, each student, neighbors, alumni, and even friends too!

Please look at the volunteer list on Signup Genius and pick multiple shifts that suit you best. There are multiple areas that we need help. In addition, we will need help with setting up Friday night 8/5 (no signup, just please come and help) and Saturday morning 8/6 (see signup).  Cleanup is a huge area too. Please plan on staying after your last shift & the events ends to help cleanup.  What doesn't get completed on Saturday will have to be done on Sunday, which includes returning items.

Also, when our students perform, you will be able to watch your student perform, just not from the stands. The stands are for paying customers only.  We need YOUR HELP hosting this event.  This is the first competition of the season, there will be many more where you will be able to watch from the stands. I will agree that it is a long hard day, but I can tell you that you will have fun, make new friends with your band family, and have many fun memories for years to come.

We have our 1st game next week!!! The uniforms are almost done. Thank you to everyone that has helped, I couldn't have done it without you. Just a few need to be hand sewn (very easy work if anyone wants to help). Shoes will be here this week so please send in your shoe payment if you haven't already. Shoes will not be distributed until payment has been received. Uniform contracts are past due. Please send in signed contract with payments ASAP if you haven't already.

If anyone would like to purchase these items and donate to the uniform room, I would greatly appreciate it.

•          Black shoe laces (LOTS of them)

•          Febreze spray for fabric

•          Laundry Detergent - Tide Sport Active

•          Finger nail polish remover

•          Cotton balls

•          Bandaids - all sizes (special need for small round)

•          Large Broom

•          Old band shoes from alumni's

•          Long black socks thick type (men's size)

•          Plain white under shirts (multiple sizes)

I also need to have 2 doors installed on the back cabinets to secure formal wear, green polos, and other uniform items. You will need to purchase the wood & hinges. I would hope the boosters would pay for the expenses but I can't guarantee it. Also we need shelving put in 2 of the cabinets.

Please contact Beckie Biglin via text 727-612-9965 or email busybec_5@msn.com if you have any questions.

Shoes will be ordered for all guard students on a different date.  Guard students will be notified of total cost when available.  Any questions about uniforms please contact Beckie Biglin at busybec_5@msn.com or via text at 727-612-9965.

SHS wants you to know that there will be a back-to-school yearbook sale now through Labor Day (September 3rd). Students may purchase a yearbook for $65 or online at balfour.com (this is our new website). If students order their book via mail/online, there is a $3.50 fee.

Students will receive a (BRIGHT) orange flyer in homeroom, to remind them to take advantage of this sale. This is our lowest price in 3 years. Get your yearbook now!

Snapraise is off and running! We are about halfway to our goal of $10,000! BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

1.      We need everyone to share their student's Snapraise profile to their personal Facebook pages. It's the fastest way to give it exposure. Please share now, and often until the campaign is over on September 4!

2.      If your student has not yet created a profile, please have them do so right away! The Drum Majors will be helping them to register and enter their 20 email addresses. 

3.      If your student has entered less than 20 emails, please add more to their profile! It's a proven statistic that most people donate in response to the first email that they get, so we need those new people in order to keep our total raised moving forward! 

It's essential for us to raise a minimum of $10,000 - this amount was already budgeted in as income and everyone's Fair Share was lowered in anticipation of this being a success. So far, so good - let's keep it going!! WE CAN DO IT!!

Saturday, September 1st is not just an ordinary 9-9 practice. It's our annual REHEARSE-A-THON! Families are encouraged to use the attached form to help raise funds toward their individual ledgers. Friends and family can donate a flat fee, or a pledge per hour - and monies can be collected either before or after the Rehearse-a-thon. All checks should be made out to SHSBB, please! Payments should be placed in the Blue Box in an envelope marked REHEARSE-A-THON and your student's name. It's a fun and easy way to fundraise! 

In addition to the fundraiser, we are inviting all families to participate in (and eat!) a pot luck dinner with the students and staff. This will be the dinner meal for our students on 9/1, so we ask that each and every family send in a dish that feeds approximately 10 people. And we'd love for you to come and join us! It's the perfect setting to meet other families, ask questions of the Board, and just enjoy a meal with some really great kids and their families. 

If anyone would like to volunteer to coordinate the Pot Luck Dinner, please respond to this email (from Jennifer Palmer). Please watch for an RSVP and food signup to come very soon! SEE YOU THERE!
