Atlanta Chaperones

Winds Families,

I currently have the following parents down as chaperones for the Atlanta trip:

 

Jennifer Mabry

Dave Miller

Kevin and Kim Caleca

Barb Smith

Kiersten Scooler

 

These are the folks that have offered to stay overnight at the hotel and supervise the students.  We still would like to have a couple more of you help out.  At least another male chaperone would be nice.  If you are planning to go on the trip to watch your student play anyway, perhaps you could help us out at the hotel?

 

Please get back to me.  We would like to pass out all the information regarding the trip on March 31 after Winds practice at 5p.m.  See everyone then.

Atlanta Trip Parent Meeting

Winds Parents,

There will be a short informational meeting regarding the Winds trip to Atlanta after practice on March 31st starting at 5p.m.  Please plan to attend so that you can get all the pertinent information.

 

Thank you,

Kiersten

Band Information

Parents,

Just to bring you up to date on Band happenings this week.  We are back to the original practice schedule after school for all groups.

 

Thank you to all the volunteers, both parent and student, that offered their time to help out at the after school dance.  I do not have a complete list of volunteers or information on how successful our fundraising efforts were, but I will get them to you as soon as I do.  I forgot to include Zachary Bynum as a student volunteer at the skate night.  Thank you Zack for supporting the band!

 

I appreciate all of the parents that attended the Booster Meeting in March.  As many of you know we took nominations for next year's Booster officers.  Barb Smith was nominated for the position of president.  None of the other current officers are returning for another term.  We currently need people to serve as Vice-President (assists pres. and organizes volunteers), Secretary (minutes taker/publisher), and Treasurer.  Please consider serving as a Booster officer.  Dr. Warnock and Mrs. Bowden do a lot for the band program, but they need Booster support.  I want to thank Amy Landers for her multiple years in various Booster officer positions and Debbie DeMond for serving as secretary for the past 2 years.  You have been wonderful to work with!  We will be electing next year's officers at the April 14th Booster meeting.  Contact me by email if you are interested.

 

There has been a change in the spring concert schedule.  The 6th grade band will still perform at the PTSO meeting on May 3rd at 6p.m.  The spring concert for ALL bands will be May 5th at 7p.m. in the gym.  I realize this conflicts with the Band Booster meeting at the HS, but there was a conflict for many students on the 12th- thus the change to the 5th.  I hope you all will come and hear how much the students have improved throughout the year. 

 

Have a great week!

Kiersten

Thank you Volunteers

This is a shout out to all of you who helped to make our first Skate Night such a success.  I particularly want to thank Stacie Lindsey for coming up with this idea and running with it.  I also want to thank Barb Smith for taking on the responsibility of the concession area.  Below is a list (I hope complete) of all of you who helped out last Friday night.  Your time and commitment to the band program at RHMS is so greatly appreciated.

Missing Instrument

Parents,

Doc asked that I pass this information on.

 

We have a missing instrument. It is the contra Eb clarinet. This was used Wednesday night. It is in a long black case.  If you could send this out, maybe someone would know something about its whereabouts.

Please, if anyone recalls seeing this instrument or just a long black case, please reply to this email.

No practice Tues.

Parents and Students,

There is no practice tomorrow after school since the Winds is sponsoring the after school dance at RHMS.  Please let your student stay after school and have fun at the dance!

Dance on Tuesday

If you are available to help decorate on Tuesday from 11-1, please sign in at the office and join me in the gym.  Do not arrive before 11, as there will be students still in the gym at that time.  If you have any Wizard of Oz decor or things that would go with the "Emerald City" theme, feel free to bring it.  Some of the students have created a few things, but more is welcome.  I will have their decorations and some crepe paper and tape with me.  I will also be bringing the concessions at this time, and can use help setting up the concession area.  Thank you for helping to make this dance a success with your willingness to volunteer.  Please note, due to the number of students volunteering, we will do 20-30 minute shifts in the concession area.  We can not fit more than 2 students and 2 adults back there comfortably. (Even this might be tight) We will also have a student volunteer at each door to sell tickets. Other students will be asked to go to the dance area and have a great time--so that others will have a good time, thus making the dance a success:-) Parents, we will need you to roam the dance area, both in the gym and the parking lot where the students are allowed. 

Thank you so much for everything.  I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
