Scrip is fundraising while you shop! This successful fundraising program turns everyday shopping into cash when families use retail gift cards to pay for everyday purchases like gas and groceries, instead of the usual credit/debit cards or cash!
For instructions on how to sign-up, please follow the link and scroll down to Scrips.

Please plan to attend the Band Booster Meeting Tuesday, July 19th at 7:00 pm at SHS, in the chorus room. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and find out what is going on with camp, the budget, events, fundraising, volunteer opportunities and committees. It’s also a great place to connect with other band parents! This is your Booster Club! We hope to see you there!
Remember to send your student with a full jug of water/ice and sunscreen! It may be a good idea for students to start hydrating today and Monday morning before camp starts. It is expected to be very hot this week.

Summer instrument rental contracts are past due. Students that rent an instrument from Seminole High School must complete an instrument rental contract. Per Pinellas County Schools guidelines, the rental fee for summer instrument rental is: $35.
Students that rent both a concert instrument and a marching band instrument (mellophone, marching baritone, sousaphone) must complete an instrument rental contract for each instrument. The rental fee for a second instrument is $35 for the entire year.
Percussion students must also complete an instrument rental contract for the use of front ensemble and battery/drumline equipment. The instrumental information will be generalized.
For the regular school year, the instrument rental fee is $35 per semester or $60 for the year. Checks should be made payable to Seminole High School and can be submitted to the Blue Box in the Band Room. Free and Reduced Lunch privileges are applicable for instrument rental. Please contact a band officer for additional information.
It’s not too early to start hitting the pavement and selling ads for Seminole Sound. Attached is a list of previously contacted businesses so that the parent who contacted them last year has the first opportunity to contact the same. After two weeks, all is fair game – July 30th. Please note that we will not be printing a Seminole Visual Program this year. So we will not be selling Gold Sponsorship ads for Sound. Prices are the same this year for all ads.
The ad sales forms will be available at the Booster Meeting Tuesday and will be sent out in an e-mail later this week. Sometime after July 30th, we’ll post another contacted businesses update so that you know which businesses NOT to contact. Please keep Kim Bernstein informed as you sell ads so that we don’t duplicate efforts. If you have any questions, please email Kim Bernstein @ mailto:kbernstein68@gmail.com
Fair Share Credit for Ad Sales
· If you sell $500 or less in ads, 50% of the total of your ad sales goes in your Fair Share.
· If you sell $501 - $1,000 in ads, 60% of the total of your ad sales goes in your Fair Share.
· If you sell over $1,000 in ads, 70% of the total of your ad sales goes in your Fair Share.
· The family that has the highest dollar amount of ads sold will receive 75% of the total of their ad sales in their Fair Share.
BAND CAMP MEALS
There are still a few slots available to sign up to help serve meals during band camp. We have a critical need serving dinners on Wed, 7/20 and Mon, 7/25. Dinners are served in the Auditorium Breezeway. Set up begins at 4:30 PM, with dinner served at 5:00 PM.
BAND CAMP PICNIC
The Seminole Warhawk Band's annual Band Picnic will be held at Walsingham Park, Shelter #8, on Wednesday, July 27th, beginning at 5:00 PM. This is a family event, so everyone is invited. The Band Boosters will provide burgers and hot dogs for grilling. Each section of the band will be responsible for a component of the meal, so check with your child, or the parent representative for their section, to find out what you will need to bring (will send out list later this week). We still need help with setup, cleanup, and grillers during the 6-7:30 shift. Please sign up to help.

Thanks to all the families who have already signed up (especially those who are taking on multiple shifts), 101 of the 126 spots available for band camp water duty are FULL!! We only need 25 more volunteers to ensure all spots are full. We do have a critical need the following days this week where only 1 volunteer is signed up for each time below:
Tuesday 3-5 Thursday 1-3 & 3-5
Since all areas of the marching band will be practicing on site everyday, it's important that we have enough volunteers on hands to help. Thank you for your participation!
