Families, there are several opportunities coming up to train for the Trop. This is one of our biggest fundraisers, and is critical to the success of the program. In order to work shifts, you must have the following:

TEAM training for alcohol: Must be 18 to work as a cashier and serve alcohol. This training is good for 3 years.

Orientation: This training is for folks new to the stand to be allowed to sign up for shifts. Must be 16. 

We will be having ORIENTATION at SHS on March 27 from 7:00 - 8:15. This does NOT include TEAM training. If your alcohol training is out of date, or if you're not sure, please contact me.

If you cannot make the Orientation at SHS on 3/27, here are sign-ups for optional training dates being offered at the Trop.

Attached is the itinerary for both the symphonic band and wind ensemble.

It's time for our spaghetti dinner, our fundraiser for the winter bands! The spaghetti dinner will be held on Friday, March 10th from 5-7 pm. Both the Seminole Winter Guard and Indoor Percussion Ensemble will be performing along with the Seminole Middle School beginning at 7:15. There will also be a silent auction with the winners being announced at the end of the performances!

We will need about 6 volunteers on the day of the event to arrive around 4:00 to help set up.  We will also need about 6 volunteers to help serve and cook. We want everyone to see the performances, so we will be cleaning up after the program ends.

You can preorder your reservations by sending in the attached form along with $8 per person in an envelope with your students name on it and spaghetti dinner written on the front. Have your student put it in the blue box by Wednesday, March 8th. Any questions, feel free to contact Jan Monson at remjjm@gmail.com.  We would love to have as many of our "band family" and their friends and extended family to come!

For SILENT AUCTION ITEMS: Please email Tina Lakhotia at Tinael01@hotmail.comto let her know what items you have procured. She will need to know the items value for the bidding. ITEMS can be dropped off at the school until March 8th, to give Tina time to get the bid sheets ready.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND SEE YOU THERE!

 

Spaghetti Dinner is a fundraiser that benefits Winter Guard and Indoor Percussion. It is expected that these two groups would provide the food and monetary donations to roll out the dinner.  The entire band family and friends are encouraged to attend the Spaghetti Dinner and enjoy the show.

We plan on feeding approximately 250 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. Feel free to sign up for as many donations as you like! Don't forget, we need volunteers, too - so check the other sign up genius list to put in some valued time!

For this sign up, you are either donating MONEY to purchase the needed items listed OR THE ACTUAL ITEM. All money and items are due by Monday, March 6th. If you are donating the money for the item, place the proper amount in CASH in an envelope labeled "Spaghetti Dinner Donations" and put it in the Blue Box. If you are donating the actual item, place it in the Booster Room by March 6th. 

NOTE: Publix has many Italian BOGO items this week - sale runs 2/24-3/1! Pasta included!

Please sign up to work the Chick-fil-A Booth at Seminole Pow Wow. All proceeds go into the band's general fund.

Chick-Fil-A has again generously offered our band the opportunity to staff their stand at Seminole Pow Wow (at the Seminole Recreation Center).  Last year, we made over $1600 in profit!  Volunteers will be responsible for selling Chick-fil-A sandwiches and nuggets as well as any candy and chips left over from Seminole Visual.  We will also need one of the volunteers on each shift to be the "runner" (picking up the orders from Chick-fil-A and delivering them to our stand at the Pow Wow).  The Friday night of this event is also the Spaghetti Dinner.  It is imperative that we have volunteers at this site!!!!
