Some students may have been asked to perform at a special Home Depot gig. This will take place at the Seminole Home Depot next to Burlington Coat Factory. Frequently, the community will ask for band performances at the events in return for a donation of materials, monies, or services. The Seminole Warhawk Band Program is a proud participant and commnity partner in these ventures. Because of the extreme hour of this event, please communicate with Mr. Madrinan directly for conflicts. A minimal number of students, based on instrumentation, have been asked to represent the Warhawks for this event.
Dress is Khaki shorts/pants, band polo, belt, and closed toe sneakers; they will be using marching band instruments and flip folders/lyres- no music stands.

The band boosters comprise the majority of the volunteer hours at Seminole HS and it is important to the school that we log all of our hours. You are welcome to log your hours in the volunteer system, however, we collect the hours and enter them in for you. Please send an email with your volunteer hours listed by month from June through August that is NOT related to a signup genius event (i.e. prop construction, uniform pressing, etc.). Volunteers/hrs are pulled from signup genius (i.e. water duty, chaperones, Trop, etc) so you don't need to report those hours. Volunteer hours can be sent to Jackie Brochman at Jacquelyn.brochman@duke-energy.com.
The October 16th home football game is Senior Night and we want to make sure that our senior parents have the opportunity to participate in senior night activities. We are in need of a few more underclassmen chaperones for this game. As a reminder, chaperones need to be active, approved level 2 volunteers and Mr. Madrinan has final approval on all chaperones. Chaperone signups for football games and band competitions are available on the signup genius links at the bottom of this email. Any questions, contact Donna Savage at fmsgms@tampabay.rr.com or Jackie Brochman at Jacquelyn.brochman@duke-energy.com.
EZ-Fingerprinting is scheduled to be at Seminole High School on Tuesday, September 15th at 6 pm to do fingerprinting for level 2 volunteer clearance. If you are thinking about being a chaperone, this is a good time to get this done. You must be a registered, active volunteer in the PCSB system prior to getting fingerprinted. The cost is $45 and you must bring a photo ID and know your social security number for the background check.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you are planning to come for this service, you must email Jackie Brochman and let her know, we must have a count for the team that is coming to do this service for us. If we don’t have enough parents sign up for this service, it will be cancelled. If you have questions or plan to come, contact Jackie Brochman at Jacquelyn.brochman@duke-energy.com
The Polo shirts are in! If you ordered a shirt, Kathy Holloway will be at Water Duty tonight from 5:30-7 pm and again at the end of practice, for pickup. If you don’t meet up with her, she will distribute shirts to your student.
There was some wrong information in the last email, sorry folks.
Next Thursday, 9/17/15, will be our first early rehearsal time: 2:30 pm-6:00 pm. We have several instances throughout the season where this will occur out of respect for JV Home Football games, etc. Please make sure the proper preparations are made for this rehearsal!
The students will be signing up for their Atlanta hotel pairings tonight after rehearsal. Please encourage your students to gather their group (four to a room) prior to the end of rehearsal, so as to expedite the process! Parents should plan to pick up a few minutes later than normal. Sign ups should take about 20 minutes, if all goes well.
Sheet music for concert band chair placements was distributed in class last week and can also be found in the student login section under the Symphonic Band/Wind Ensemble tab. The placement will consist of one etude: the All-State lyrical etude for the player’s correlating grade level - either 9th/10th or 11th/12th. The bracketed section is what the student should prepare. Please see the requirement sheet for exact directions, and e-mail Mr. Madrinan with questions. This chair placement etude will also be the All-County audition prepared piece. All Wind-Ensemble members are required to pass off with Mr. Madrinan and attend the audition; Symphonic Band members are strongly recommended to audition. Chair placements for the SHS Concert Bands will begin promptly on Monday, 9/14/15.
Next Thursday, 9/17/15, will be our first early rehearsal time: 2:30 pm-6:00 pm. We have several instances throughout the season where this will occur out of respect for JV Home Football games, etc. Please make sure the proper preparations are made for this rehearsal!
