Parent Meeting

Dear Band Parents--

There is an important band parent meeting on May 28th at 6:00 p.m. in the band room.  We will be announcing the new Booster board, talking about the fall Red Rocks tour, and signing up for committees.  Please plan on sending at least one parent to this meeting.  Your student is not required to attend.

The committee descriptions are below.  Plan on signing up for at least two shifts--preferably on the same committee.

Equipment
The equipment committee is responsible for helping the students get various pieces of equipment (mostly percussion) on/off the field during competitions.

Uniforms/Plumes/Water
The uniforms committee is responsible for making sure all students are competition ready.  This may include checking for clean shoes, if the students have proper socks and gloves, putting plumes in hats, and clothing repair.  This committee will also make sure the band gets a drink of water before they go on the field.

Color Guard
The color guard committee is responsible for helping the color guard with costumes, hair, makeup, and equipment at each competition.

Food
The food committee is responsible for feeding the kids at all competitions and band camp.  This may include making reminder calls, gathering food, restocking supplies, and/or making various types of food.  Food donation sign-ups will be posted as fall season gets closer.

To make your decision easier, here are the dates of our competitions:
Weber State:  Sept. 22nd
Wasatch Front (Riverton High?):  Oct. 3rd
Bridgerland (Utah State): Oct. 10th
Mt. Timp (Pleasant Grove High School): Oct. 24
Red Rocks (St. George):  Oct. 29th-31st

Each of these committee sign-up forms is also on this blog under Volunteers.  You may sign up there, as well.

We also need help with giving the students water during our summer parades.  There will be a sign-up for that, as well.  The parade dates are:

Taylorsville (Drum line):  June 27th
West Jordan (Regular band + alumni):  July 4th a.m.
Sandy (Drum line):  July 4th p.m.
Day of '47 Youth Parade (Regular band):  July 18th
Days of '47 Parade Preview (Regular band + incoming 8th graders):  July 21st

We have an exciting marching season coming up!  It will be even better if we have solid support from our parents.

See you at the meeting!
