News

We are giving a huge shout out for every volunteer to work 2 or 3 shifts this month. There are numerous activities that are band related so all families should be working for at least two of them.  Our main concern right now is cashiers. The Trop has asked for 7 cashiers for all games up until Sept. 20th, so every cashier needs to be signing up in at least two opening spots.  The next concern is cooks. The weekends seem to be the problem, so all cooks--go for it. 

We would appreciate it if you would sign up before this Thursday so we can make adjustments where necessary.

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 correleating 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. 

Note from Patricia Riser, coordinator

The garage sale will be here very soon! Just wanted to give you all some info so everyone knows what to expect.

First, I have made 17 hot pink signs. Three of them will be placed on the High School fence hopefully Sunday/Monday to take advantage of all the traffic from the start of school. The other 14 smaller signs will be coming soon (Tuesday/Wednesday) to a street corner near you!

As for the day of the sale, the hours of the sale are from 7:30 am-2:00 pm. I will be there bright and early. You may come and set up at 6:00 am. Please don't come before that. Try and be set up by 7:00-7:15. Garage sale people are early risers and just because it says 7:30, they will come early anyways.

Please bring your own supplies: tables, chairs, blankets etc. as we will not be able to provide any of that to you. If you want to bring a tent (which I would recommend) please bring some weights etc....nothing worse than having to chase one of those down and we wouldn't want it breaking your items or your neighbors.

Also, PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN CHANGE. You will be completing your own sales. Each family will have their own "booth space". So please don't forget that change.

I will be collecting the money you made at the end of the sale. You will be able to see the money in your Charms Ledger. Please give it a bit to show up in there as I don't know how often that info is updated.

In an effort to prepare ahead of time, if you haven't given me your students’ name, can you please email it to me at Patricia Riser at shopgirlpl@gmail.com. I am making up envelopes for the money you make and would like them to have each child's name on it before I get there. If you can't, no biggie, I will get if from you when you check in.

When you arrive on Saturday, please use the 86th AVENUE ENTRANCE (the one across from the Middle School). We will be using the far east side of the parking lot as our kids will be marching away on the west side. I will be there to check you in and to let you know where your spot is…if you have a BFF you want to be next to, just let me know.

Oh! don't forget to bring yourselves water etc. as I'm sure it's going to be a hot one!

Let me know if you have any other questions.  I am looking forward to what will hopefully prove to be a profitable sale for all.
