End of Year Picnic

Despite the rainy, cool weather, a good time was had by all at the band picnic. The budget for next season was passed; recognition of each student's contributions given by Mr. Albano; and recognition and thanks given to Mr. Nick Albano for his dedication and endless hours of hard work that he put into this program - students and parents alike will miss him...

Ad Sales for 2009/2010 Marching Band Season

Ad Sale packets were distributed at the picnic on June 9th. If you did not get a packet, either look for it in your child's backpack or in the mail in the next few days.

Latest ad sales news: the inside front cover has been sold.

If you have any questions about selling ads, contact Crystal Rumph  or Susan Cohen.  More forms and information are available on the website including a list of what has already been sold.  (As of 7/3/09)

Participation fees  remain the same as last year, despite the decrease in income that Band Aids experienced in 2008/2009. Ad sales are a great opportunity to meet your child's participation fee and, if you sell extra ads, to also help pay for the spring trip.

Jamboree Committee sign-ups

Please sign up to help at the Jamboree (October 31st). The Jamboree is a major fundraiser for the band program, and is a huge undertaking that requires a lot of advance planning. A number of positions need to be filled to ensure that this event runs smoothly. Even if you know you won't be available on the day of Jamboree, a number of jobs need to be done in the days leading up to the event, so there are ways you can still help. Contact Jamboree Chair Joe Brittain  with any questions/more info/to sign up.
