Brochures for the Little Caesar's fund-raiser were given to students today. Pizza, cookie, pie and salad kits are available. All proceeds go into Student Accounts, and are a huge help to PARENTS in covering band fees. Checks or Money orders are due by 8/28, kits will be delivered on September 9th.

We had a great kickoff at the 7/28 Booster meeting. Be sure to attend on 8/11 so we can keep it rolling. Volunteers are needed for every aspect of the operation, contact Betty Stolzfoos for details.


Capital News Part I: The Mighty Sailor Band is heading for Washington! We may march in the Inaugural Parade or participate in the Heritage Festival and attend the parade as observers.

If you haven't made the $200 down payment yet, please do so.

Capital News Part II: The Mighty Sailor Band is going to Tallahassee for Band Day at Florida State University on September 13 (FSU vs. UT/Chattanooga). $50 per student will cover the cost of the bus and lunch.

Corporate sponsorships and grants are essential to augment the funds received from parents. People with experience in these areas are needed to help with our Corporate Relations committee. Please contact Jeanne Heere if you can help.

Marching Band is the most visible part of our program, but the Boosters support all the bands at SHS. Instructors, instruments and music for the Admirals, Orchestra and Wind Ensemble are paid for by the Boosters. Even if your students are not in the Marching Band, the Boosters are here for them, please join us and participate.

All students are expected and required to attend listed after school practices. If we are to play the literature that we can, we need more time than the normal school day affords us. If the need for an absence should arise, please give Mr. Roseboom written notification signed by a parent 48 hours in advance.
