Hey y’all  - while we all take the day to recover from Seminole Sound, please be thinking about where you can help with Senior/Middle School night on Friday, October 16th. Remember that this night is to honor our Seniors and their families, so we ask that Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior families step up to plan, execute, and donate meals for this one night. Details are below – please help in as many areas as you can!!

  1.  Food Donations – after the game, we will be hosting a reception for seniors and their families. This year, we have 24 seniors, and expect to feed 85-100 people. We need heavy appetizer type food, and drinks. Don’t forget – before you know it, you will be a senior parent, too – so jump in to make this great and show our senior families how much we appreciate their efforts over the last four years!   Please sign up here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4ca9ad23a6fa7-senior/1344877
  1. Volunteer Help - there are several areas that need to be manned. We need help decorating and setting up the room. We need a photographer. And we need someone to greet senior families and pin on their corsages.   Please sign up here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4ca9ad23a6fa7-senior/1344877
  1. Concessions Stand – there are several senior families that normally work in concessions at our home games. We need to fill those spots – both stand workers and grillers.   Please sign up here:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4ea5ab2aaa8-football
  1. Middle School Help – we will also be welcoming our Middle Schoolers on Friday evening – this is usually their first Marching Band experience, and we want to make them feel like family, as they are the future of our program! We will need volunteers to supervise, serve them snacks, and lead them to and from the field.

Effective immediately, we have made an important change to the Charms student-area login procedure to help provide better security and privacy for your student information.

As you know, after the Schoolcode is entered, the student's ID number is their first-time password to the specific student's area.  Beginning today, if a student has not created a DIFFERENT password, distinct from that ID, they will be directed to the Change Password screen and encouraged to create a password different from the ID.  We need to add this because certain mischievous students have been using other student's IDs to access their private information.

In a few months we will add an additional step. After the schoolcode is entered for the "public" area, we will require that the student create both a unique username AND password (different from their ID number), in order to access the specific student area of the account.  This Username will need to be unique within your schoolcode.  We will also provide a mechanism for the student to be able to retrieve their own username and password via email or text.

Our new Charms student app (coming soon) will also route the student to the Change Password screen, but the existing app will not.

While this might be an inconvenience now, it will provide for better privacy and security for your student's personal information.

Lots of info regarding the Atlanta trip will be released next week. But in the meantime, please be aware that we will be purchasing a block of seats for parents that will be traveling up to watch the performances. If you are interested in purchasing these tickets, please email Kelly at bjcmom99@aol.com by the end of this week, so that she can order the appropriate number. Price is $51 for an all access pass to prelims and finals, with reserved seating for finals. THANKS!

If you haven't already ... Please bring all of the above items to the back of the concessions stands TONIGHT during practice hours. If you need help transporting your grill, please let Kelly know at bjcmom99@aol.com. It is important that you bring items tonight, because we need to see what we have and what we still need. THANKS!

We could use at least one more volunteer for the 5:30-7 pm water duty shifts Thursday.

If you haven't turned in your Yankee Candle Order, they need to be turned in no later than tonight, please!

Please keep in mind that students are on their own for lunch and dinner this Saturday. If you are bringing food for your child, be sure that they have enough time to eat between the hours of 12-1 and 5-6 pm.  Thank you!

The details are shaping up. The only piece left to the puzzle is to fill in all of the volunteer slots! We are still in need of a couple of really key players:

1. Food for Judges Hospitality! There is a separate signup for this - please donate your favorite dish to keep our judges happy! :-)
Hospitality Food donations:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4ca9ad23a6fa7-hospitality.

2. Coolers for Concessions - Large and Regular size coolers are needed -- Please drop off coolers tonight during JV game or to the QM room during the dinner hour of Saturday’s 9-9.  Please be sure your name is clearly noted on them for proper return.

3. Outside Extension Cords (long) - We have many needs for electricity throughout this event. Please bring in as many cords as you can, so we can feel secure that we have all we need. Please drop off the cords tonight during JV game or to the QM room during the dinner hour of Saturday’s 9-9.  Please be sure these are properly marked with your name to return properly at the end of the event.

Check the Sign Up Genius to see where you can help fill those holes!
