SOIREE

Friday, February 10th is the Seminole Band Program's annual Soiree! Held at Anona United Methodist, Soiree is an evening of food, music, and fun that features band students performing the pieces that they will showcase at Solo & Ensemble Festival the following weekend at Gibbs High School. In addition to top notch performances, there will be a buffet dinner served for $10 per person, with proceeds to benefit our own Warhawk Band Program! Band students pay $5 for dinner. 

Please bring an item to donate to the food pantry sponsored by the church, as a thank-you to them for allowing us to use their beautiful facility!

The time schedule for the evening is as follows:

4:30pm - Student Arrival Time

5:45pm - Family Arrival Time

6:00pm - Buffet Opens - Students Eat First! 

7:00pm - Performances Begin

9:30pm - Performances End, Clean Up, Students Load Trailers

11:00pm - Students Dismissed From School Once Trailers Unloaded

We hope you will bring your friends and family to support your student - they have been working hard and Soiree is a great "dress rehearsal" before they perform for the judges. Please RSVP today to reserve your spot - we will need to have all responses in by Monday, Feb 6th in order to give the caterer time to prepare.

SEMINOLE VISUAL T-SHIRT DESIGN OPEN TO STUDENTS

The Seminole High School Band Aides Boosters in coordination with the Florida Federation of Colorguards will host the Annual Seminole Visual Spectacular Competition on Saturday, March 4th, at the Seminole High School gym.  We are counting on a full house at Visual this year so we will need ‘all hands on deck’ to make this another successful event.

•  All volunteers need to wear their orange "SHOW HOST" shirts or the green SHS band boosters 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 ticket(s) 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

There are many areas we could use help.  Please see below for signups:
