'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!

As you know, schools and activities for Pinellas County have been cancelled for today and so we therefore had to cancel practice. However, many parent volunteers will be up at the school putting in time to prepare for Sound. Luckily we did not have to cancel our Event, this would not have fared well for the band. Also, in light of the storm that is headed up the east coast, we will need to prepare the gymnasium for an indoor, music only show (just in case). This means we need to lay the padding down and cover it with an old guard floor. We need as many parent and student volunteers up at the school at 2:30 pm to help with this. If you are available to help, we will be in and around the gymnasium, come join us!
Because of an even later performance start of 4:45pm, we will be shifting some volunteers as needed on the day of Sound. So if you show up for your shift and find that we may need to put you elsewhere to fill a much needed hole, please be understanding and help us out!
If you are signed up for a morning shift, you may want to call your Chairperson to find out if they are actually going to be at the school at that time for set up. If you have any questions or concerns about your report time to volunteer, please call the chairperson for the area you are signed up:
Concessions/Renee Hall: 466-8201
Ticket Booth/Stacey Welton: 492-3840
Staging/Chad Ford: 204-8640
Crowd Control—Sarah or Bill: 424-212 / 804-4691
Souvenirs/Angie Justice: 403-1005
We apologize for the confusion about the meals for shifts worked. 1 meal is rewarded to volunteers who work 2 shifts; if you are working 3 shifts you get 2 meals. 1 shift is rewarded with a drink. Meal choices: hamburger, cheeseburger, wally wappa burger, hot dog, or nachos and a drink. Thank you for volunteering!
Sound and Host T-shirts will now be distributed on Saturday morning one hour before practice (8-8:45 am) and after practice (12-12:30pm). If you need to get a HOST shirt, now would be the time ($7). If you did not pre-order a Seminole Sound shirt, you will have to wait until the shirts go on sale in Souvenirs to buy one for $15. I'm sorry, but we did not purchase enough shirts to cover those who did not pre-order. We ordered enough to sell to spectators during the show.

VOLUNTEERING IS MANDATORY FOR ALL FAMILIES
We are only 6 days away from one of our biggest fundraisers for the band. This is the 40th Annual Seminole Sound, this has been a tradition for 40 years. This is a time for us to show OTHER bands that we know how to put on a show. We can't do that unless we GET MORE VOLUNTEERS! This is a day that we ask ALL of our bands families to stand up and volunteer, if not for one shift, for a couple of shifts. We still have yet to see half of our band families signed up! We have competitions EVERY SATURDAY IN OCTOBER - these are the competitions that we attend to see our band perform, not at Seminole Sound. Seminole Sound needs to have ALL HANDS on DECK to make this a success. Some of you have received phone calls in which we have left messages asking for you to go on sign up genius and please sign up to volunteer. If you have any questions, we are here to answer those questions and make you feel as comfortable as possible volunteering.
I still have the following shifts OPEN and MUST BE FILLED.
Friday volunteers with trucks are needed to assist in pick up of items
Concessions
8am - 10am (2 people needed)
10am - 2pm (1 person needed)
2-6pm (7people needed)
Parking
10am - 2pm (1 person needed)
2-6pm (2people needed)
6-end (2people needed)
OUR BIGGEST NEED:
Staging: (these positions are the first faces the visiting bands see, they rely on these volunteers to guide them around. These positions are given specific direction on where to lead the bands)
9am - 1pm (15)
5pm - end (15)
Ticket Booth
5pm - end (1)
Return of items via trucks on Sunday/Monday
We need them all. If you have any of these items that can be loaned to use for the event, you can bring these items and drop them on Friday evening near Concessions. There will be a trailer to hold all of this equipment until Saturday. Be sure to tag your items to be sure you get them returned. All of these items are needed to make this event successful. Without the extra measures to provide for these bands and families, we would not be able to do it!
