Some of you might not have heard, Barb Rutherford Becki Biglin will not be returning to Uniform room next year. We are very sad to say that Barb will be leaving the Band program all together. Becki will be taking on different roles within the Guard and Band program. Having said that, these Uniform positions are open for the taking, they will both be available for guidance and will stay on to help get the uniforms ready for next season if needed.
This is one of the most rewarding positions in the Band program, if anyone has any questions about what we do the keep our awesome students looking sharp contact Barb at Goingcrazywith4@aol.com.

SPAGHETTI DINNER DETAILS!
Spaghetti Dinner will be held on Friday, March 11 from 5-7 p.m. Both of the Seminole Winter Guard groups and Indoor Percussion Ensembles, along with the guard from Seminole Middle School will begin performing at 7:15 p.m. There will be a 50/50 raffle, with the drawing being held between the performances and a silent auction with the winners being announced at the end of the performances.
We have 2 different sets of sign up sheets. One is for Volunteering the day of the event and the other is to donate the money for the food products and/or paper products.
On the Volunteer Sign up sheet, we need about 6 people to arrive to the school around 4 p.m. to help with set up. The other volunteer jobs should be pretty self-explanatory. We don't want anyone to miss the show, so if we have to, we can do the clean up and breakdown after the performances.

For Donation Sign ups, please pay close attention to what you are signing up for. We tried to make it easier for everyone - you have an option to donate the actual item or a portion of the money to purchase the items for the sauce ingredients, paper goods, and meatballs, as these items are our most costly. Make sure you note what your intention is when you sign up. I put totals (**with asterisks**) next to each item that needs to be purchased, so once that amount has been met, please sign up for something else. Publix will be doing another Buy One Get One Free for pasta this year, beginning Thursday.

You can pre-pay for your reservations by sending the form that you received in the last email, along with $8 per person in an envelope with your student's name and "Spaghetti Dinner" written on the front. Have your student put it in the blue box by March 9th. Any questions, feel free to contact Stacey at staceywelton@live.com. To boost attendance, please invite your extended family and friends. Attached you will find the Spaghetti Dinner Reservation Order Form.
We are going to do this just like last year - there will not be actual tickets - your $8 payment puts you on the reservation list and you will check in upon arrival at the door.
For Silent Auction Items: Please email Tina Lakhotia at tinael01@hotmail.com to let her know what items you have procured for the Silent Auction. She will need to know the item's value. Items can be dropped off to school until Wednesday, March 9th, to give Tina time to get the bid sheets ready.
Thank you all for your help!
