The 40th Annual Seminole Sound Spectacular is a Marching Band Competition, hosted by the Seminole Warhawk Band Boosters at our own Warhawk Stadium. As one of the oldest, most storied events in the Marching Band arena, It is the single largest General Fund Fundraiser that exists within our Band Program, and is attended by bands, large and small, from across the state and beyond.

This event is coming along nicely as we have commitments from 15 bands to date. Many of us have already been working hard on the event to make sure we keep the level of excellence that is known for throughout the Band community, alive and strong. However, we cannot do this with out you. It takes many volunteers to make this one day a success and we need everyone involved.

Below is the link to the Sign Up Genius event that list all the various positions and shifts available. I must be frank and ask, that you sign up for multiple shifts to cover the many slots that are needed. Many of us will be working from the early morning to late at night and ask you do, as much as you can, as well. If you are new to the Booster program and are not familiar with the various positions, please email Kim Bernstein at kbernstein68@gmail.com or ask one of the Chairpersons listed. Everyone would love to help you find the right job for the day. Remember, there is no job too small; all jobs at Seminole Sound are equally important.

Hello to all the concert band families out there (Symphonic, Wind Ensemble, Jazz, & Percussion Studies)! Most of our marching band students are in concert bands as well. If your student is in any kind of band class during the day, he/she needs to have the required formal wear. Boys' tuxes will be fitted this coming Monday, August 29th, during the school day. Girls can have their sizes determined at home using the sizing chart on the order form. Tux and Dress orders, and payments, are due in the "Blue Box" in the band room by Tuesday, September 7th. Call Gail Trask at 727-393-4009 with any questions - thanks!  Please see the attachment, which includes information about ordering, order form, dates, prices, and size charts.

The Seminole High School Warhawk Band will hold its annual REHEARSE-A-THON on Saturday, September 10, 2016. This award winning band will rehearse for 12 hours to raise funds that will assist each student in meeting his/her $1250.00 “Fair Share.” Please consider supporting the students with a generous pledge. Pledges can be collected in advanced or after the Rehearse-a-Thon.  All collected pledges and completed pledge sheets should be placed in a sealed envelope, clearly marked, Rehearse-a-Thon and placed in the Blue Box. 

Rehearse-a-Thon pledge sheets are attached. This is a good time to talk to your child and make a list of those family members and friends who may be interested in helping you reach your Fair Share goal. In the past, success has been seen when a personal note or phone call 

On the day of Rehearse-a-Thon, we will be holding a potluck dinner provided by each and every family in the Warhawk Band!  Dinner will be from 5-6pm.  Please go to the link below to sign-up.
