WIREGRASS RANCH ITINERARY!

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

COMPOSITE PICTURES - REMINDER

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.

LUNCH AFTER TARPON MORNING PRACTICE ON SATURDAY, Oct 15th

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.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY NIGHT – RESCHEDULED – THURSDAY, 10/27

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!

SEMINOLE SOUND THANKS!

'Thank You' doesn't seem sufficient to show our gratitude for the countless hours put in by the chairs of each committee. 'Thank You' doesn't seem enough to convey our appreciation to the hundreds of volunteers who showed up and worked in the heat - with a smile.  ‘Thank You’ doesn’t seem enough for the many donations and loaned items we received.  And 'Thank You' certainly doesn't seem enough to show our pride for the reason behind it all - the dedicated and talented students and staff of the Seminole Warhawk Marching Band. 

On behalf of the entire Band Program - we hope you all will accept our ‘Thank You’.  The day was a success.  The flow was seamless, the crowd was happy, and the visiting bands and judges had nothing but compliments for a job well done. 

Seminole is and has always been known for its class, style, and grace - and that's exactly what the day was filled with, because of you. Our hats are off to you, Boosters, Students, Alumni, and Staff - you really are the best!
