Meeting on 8-21

Thanks to all who came to our monthly meeting on Tuesday. We got many things accomplished and are ready to enter football/competition season! In the next week or so, we will be ready to issue uniforms to the students, so if you can help at any time, let us know! For the freshman and their parents, a uniform is issued to each student at the beginning of the season, however, students are not allowed to take them home. They will stay at school and only be removed from school property during competitions. Make sure that for all home games and competitions your student wears their show shirt and shorts which will be worn under the uniform. If your band dues order form has not been turned in, please do so immediately. We need to get the shirts ordered so they are back in time.

We have also decided to extend the TJ's fundraiser. Orders will now be due no later than Monday September 24th. There may have been a miscommunication earlier stating that orders were due on August 24th and this was incorrect. We'd like to give our students at least one month to collect orders. 

Mr. Schroyer told us this was one of the best band camps yet! The entire show was learned within the two weeks so now it's just being perfected! Way to go Stars! There is still  a possibility that one more song may be added with the next few weeks, but this is not definite. Come to next months meeting to find out more information on what's going on with the band.

 On a positive note, which we are very excited about, The band will be sitting with the rest of the fans during our home games this year!!!!! We are so excited about this! And as an extra bonus, we will be performing the music that the pommies with dance to during half time as well. Songs include, Fireworks, All I do Is Win, Give Me Everything, and Moves like Jagar!  This is a great bonus for our band and allows us to show a little more of what we can do!

It's that time again!

Please check with your student as we started another TJ's fundraiser yesterday! Our last one was a big success and we hope to have the same outcome  for this one. Almost everyone eats pizza so why not order TJ's and help the band earn some money as well. We have not had a lot of success with the smaller fundraising done the past couple of months so it was decided to focus on a couple of big projects. The patron project being one, which if you didn't hear already, we earned $3313! Top fundraisers will be announced with the distribution of our show shirts at a later day.  Our top 5 fundraisers for this project will have their choice of seats on the bus for all competitions.
We will have one month to complete the collection of orders which will be turned in no later than September 10. After that it will take about 2 weeks for orders to be processed. If we have late orders, this will only delay in our delivery so please be prompt with turn ins.
The next big Fundraiser we would like to do is a "music wear". We are hoping to sell t-shirts, with a McCluer north music theme. Every sport has them, why shouldn't we? We are still looking for a parent to Chair this fundraiser so if you are interested please let us know ASAP! We would like to do this in October to have everything back in time for the holidays. 
And as always, thank you for all of the support that you show to our band!
