Seminole Sound is quickly approaching and these are two items we are in dire need of borrowing for the day:

GOLF CARTS FOR ONE DAY 
Seminole Sound brings a few thousand people, and we use areas surrounding the high school for set up, staging, etc. We have 12+ other chairpersons heading up areas like Parking Control, Crowd Control, Staging, Water Tent, and so much more that are in dire need of a golf cart to be able to manage their duties that day. We have secured a couple of carts from gracious band parents, however we need just two more. I am in search of families or businesses that could let our Booster Organization borrow a golf cart for one day. We will gladly pick up the cart and deliver the cart back to you in the same condition it was borrowed in. If you have a cart that you are willing to loan or you know someone, can you let me know as soon as possible. Please email Kim Bernstein @ kbernstein68@gmail.com if you have a cart or know someone she can contact!

CALL FOR TRAILERS for SEMINOLE SOUND SPECTACULAR

When visiting bands come in, they unload and warm up across the street between Bauder and CAS. We use trucks pulling open, flatbed trailers to transport Front Ensembles across the street to our stadium.

If you have a truck with a trailer hitch, or if you have a trailer, or best yet, if you have both – WE NEED YOU! This would be considered the Staging area during Seminole Sound, and this is a great job to have – you’d be driving a truck back and forth in the comfort of the AC! We will have the Sign Up Genius out soon to sign up to volunteer for this event, however if you have a truck/trailer and know that this is for you, please email Kim B. at kbernstein68@gmail.com, and she will coordinate.

If you have JUST THE TRAILER that you would allow us to use for the day, we can arrange to have the trailer picked up on Friday and delivered back to you on Sunday or Monday after the event. We are in dire need of 12-16 foot flat bed trailers that can haul front ensembles from across the street to our stadium during the entire event. Again, if you have this item that you can loan us, please email Kim B. at kbernstein68@gmail.com and let her know.

The September Trop sign up is now available! This is our last month for the season, so hurry and choose your spots before it's over!

ATTENTION WARHAWK BAND MEMBERS

New on the band website is information about auditions for the Ruth Eckerd Hall Jazz Program and also Walker’s Rising Stars. Check the student private files for more information. These are both awesome opportunities for our most motivated musicians.

 

Seminole Sound is less than 2 months away, and the deadline for selling ads is fast approaching: September 16th. That's only 1 month left to sell! Get out there and sell sell sell -- this is a great way to fund raise for your fair share! If you have any questions or need ad forms, email Kim Bernstein @ kbernstein68@gmail.com.  

We are looking for a coordinator for the fall garage sale.  The sale is typically held in the parking lot of Seminole High School on a Saturday morning.   All proceeds from each family’s sales are collected at the end of the morning and applied to the students Charms ledger.  One possible date is Oct 1st, but we are open to other dates.  The garage sale dates will not be available from Sat Oct 8th through Sat Nov 12th due to band competitions.  If you are interested, please contact Lourdes Pickart @ luly632@gmail.com.

Thank you to the parents who have signed up for football game concessions.  However, there is still an immediate need for 4 stand workers and 2 grillers on Thursday, Sept 1st  for the JV game.  We also still need 3 stand works and 3 grillers for our first home football game on Friday, Sept 2nd .

Please go to the link below and sign up to help.  For more questions, please contact Renee Hall @ scottnrenee@yahoo.com.

The Marching Band Boosters run the concession stand at all our home JV and Varsity football games.  For the past few years, our concession stand has raised about $12,000 per season!  This anticipated profit has already been passed on to each of our marching band members.  Every member’s Fair Share is $100 less than it should have been, thanks to the profits of our stand.  Football season is fast approaching and we need your help.  We have a JV game on Thursday, September 1, and a Varsity game on Friday, September 2, and right now we are desperately short volunteers. Without the proper number of volunteers, we will not be able to open both concession stands and may not be able to sell grilled food, negatively impacting our profits. Please go to the link below and sign up to help.  For more questions, please contact Renee Hall @ scottnrenee@yahoo.com.
