SHS Band Parents, This is the FINAL week for our Fan Cloth fundraiser. With your help, we could make from $2,880 to $6,300! For example: if every band family sells 3 items, we can make a profit of $2,880. If every band family sells 4 items, we can make a profit of $4,320 and so on, the more we sell, the more we make (all profits will go into the general fund).

These items make perfect gifts for the upcoming holidays. Think of band camp, 9 to 9 practices, week night practices, and competitions - the jackets, hats, shirts, etc., are all quality brands that will last long and we will look great showing off our high school and band pride. Please share the catalog with family and friends - there is something for everyone and you can personalize many of the items! You can print extra order forms from www.fancloth.com/downloads. In order to ensure prompt delivery before the holidays, orders must be in the blue box by 11/4/16. Remember, do not add tax. Please email Lourdes Pickart at luly632@gmail.com with any questions.

Here's the final water duty link for this marching season. There are 6 dates where we need help. Please take a look and sign up where you can.

SENIOR NIGHT

Hi, Parents! For those who are new to the program, Senior Night is an evening set aside to honor our seniors and their families for their years of dedication and loyalty to our great band program. There is an on field ceremony, small tokens of our appreciation, and a reception immediately following the game on this coming Friday, November 4th. We are requesting that all Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior families contribute a dish or drinks to the celebration. After all, sooner or later, we will ALL be senior families - and won't it be nice to feel treasured? Let's make this night last in the memories of our senior families - they certainly deserve it!

We are expecting approximately 80-100 guests and will need many hands to help set up, serve, and clean up afterwards. Food and drink donations may be dropped off in the gym concession stand before or during the football game. No later than 8:30pm, please! Also, please mark your dishes with your name if you are not able to pick them up after the reception.

MIDDLE SCHOOL NIGHT

We also could use some hands to help serve at a reception, before the game, for students from both Seminole Middle and Osceola Middle schools.  This is their first introduction to our band program and we want it to be a very positive experience for them.  They are our future!  See the link below for signups.

If you have any questions for either Senior Night or Middle School Night, please contact Donna Moore mooredonnarn@gmail.com or text/call (727) 560-6972 with questions. Thank you in advance for your participation!

This Saturday, the Warhawk Band competes at Wiregrass Ranch HS. Because this show is Prelims-Finals, the schedule looks a bit different. Please note that your student should plan to pack a lunch to eat on the bus ride there. After the Prelims performance, students will leave campus to eat dinner at the Shoppes at Wiregrass. Their three restaurant choices will be Moe's, Panera Bread, and POSSIBLY Red Robin, depending on the wait time. Chaperones will assess this upon arrival. Students should bring money to cover this meal.  The schedule is also attached.

In addition, we will be purchasing meals from WGRHS concessions after Finals retreat. The kids will eat this meal on the bus ride home. This week the officers will be collecting preorders from all students, as well as money to cover the cost of their order. Below, please find the menu choices and their prices. All orders must be paid before Friday, or food items will not be ordered. 

PDQ - $5.00 (We think this is either a chicken sandwich, or chicken nuggets. We have an email in to clarify and will let you know!)

Cheeseburger - $3.50

Hamburger - $3.00

Hot Dog - $2.00

Chips - $1.00

 

Water - $1.00

Pictures for the marching band composite will be taken this Thursday, 10/20, during the school day.  Students that are at SPC or out sick need to make an effort to get to the band room between 7am and 1:45pm.  Photographers typically take lunch between 10:45am-11:45am.  Unfortunately, re-takes are not available so students that can not make it to the band room between that time frame will not be included in the composite.  Sales for the photos will take place on Thursday, 11/10 from 5:30-8pm.

As many of you know, concession sales at Seminole Sound were negatively impacted, by reduced participation numbers, due to Hurricane Matthew.  To generate more funds for our band, Warhawk Rey’s will be serving lunch to our band members immediately after Saturday’s practice.  Lunch will include:  pork sandwich, chips and drink.  Suggested donation is $2.

Please join us for our Rescheduled, Family and Friends Night on Thursday, October 27th, at 8:30pm in the Stadium.  We welcome all families, friends, alumni, and all who support the Seminole Band.  Concessions will be opened for some snacks and it would be great for everyone to purchase a snack and come watch the kids perform the show. Let’s fill the bleachers, enjoy a snack, and cheer on our kids!
