Band Families buy tickets for themselves and sell to friends, family, and neighbors. For each ticket sold, the ENTIRE $15 gets credited back to the student’s Charms ledger. To purchase Season Tickets, please contact Lourdes Pickart at lulymp@tampabay.rr.com.

Lourdes will be selling tickets at the band picnic tomorrow night.  She also can be available at the end of band practices during the season. Just text her at 727-455-1612 and she can meet you in the parking lot. 

 

UNIFORM RENTAL CONTRACTS

Uniform rental contracts were handed out to the students on Monday night after Band Camp.  Please read the contract for lots of very important information, including the rental agreement guidelines, shoes and gloves.  Also included is a section about uniform room donations and uniform help needed.  For more information, please contact Deb Ward at mamalowe4@gmail.com.    

The signed contracts are due August 6th and checks are made payable to Seminole High School for $65 (not the band boosters). 

Shoe orders are due tomorrow, July 27th.  Payment is due Aug 6th and checks are made payable to SHSBB for $40.  These are required for all Marching Band students (except guard) and only needed if new to the program or returning students who need a new pair.  Freshmen and new band members were automatically fitted for marching band shoes. 

 

CALLING ALL CHAPERONES

The 2016/2017 chaperone training meeting is scheduled for Thursday August 4th at 7pm at the high school (room TBD).  If you are thinking about signing up to chaperone during this year’s band season, this meeting is mandatory.  Chaperones need to be active, approved level 2 volunteers and have volunteered for activities (i.e. water duty) where you interact with the students and they get to know you.  If you have any questions, please contact Jackie Brochman at Jacquelyn.brochman@duke-energy.com.

SEMINOLE SOUND AD SALES UPDATE!

Have you been out selling ads? I sure hope so, because someone I know is! Attached is an updated Businesses Contacted list. Once again, until July 30th, this list includes businesses that were sold to last year with the corresponding band parent name next to them. They have first priority on selling to that business again this year. If I do not hear from the parent by July 30th about whether they have contacted that business for another ad in the program this year, then they are open for another band parent to contact them.

If you have any questions about selling ads, or need additional forms, please email Kim Bernstein @ kbernstein68@gmail.com.

 

DCI (DRUM CORPS) SEMI-FINAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

On Friday, August 12, the full marching band will watch the DCI semi finals championships at the band room on our brand-new projection system.  This will start at approximately 6 PM and continue until approximately 11:30 PM.  This event will replace the DCI quarterfinals movie event that the students typically attend (for the past eight years).  The reason for the switch is because the movie event falls on a school night-the second day of school due to the early start this year.  Sections will be encouraged to have dinner together then meet at the band room for the evening performances.
