Items Discussed at the Music Booster Meeting on July 17th

Items discussed at the Music Booster meeting on July 17th. * Band Camp snacks and drinks need to be there by lunch, 12:00 to 12:45. The kids can bring them in when they come. * Raffle Tickets were given to the kids in June during parade rehearsals. Anyone that has not received tickets to sell please contact Karen Marciniak 219-778-9649 or marciniakfamily@gmail.com. All proceeds will be used toward the purchase of concert blacks. * Blue Debut and BBQ Cook Off -- FRIDAY, AUGUST 9TH -- agenda is attached. Freshmen - 12 oz cups and forks Sophomores -- desserts (prepackaged like a bake sale) Juniors -- desserts (prepackaged like a bake sale) Seniors -- side dishes (such as chips and salads) * Ms Galus is looking for volunteers to do a first aid rotation. The parent would administer basic first aid (band aids/ice packs, etc). Please let Ms Galus know if you are available to help a half day or full day of band camp. * Ms Galus will be housing 5 staff members for the duration of camp. We are asking boosters to donate a meal (lunch/dinner). Cooked, ready to eat would be best. Pizza, pasta, subs, were some suggestions. This can be dropped off any time during band camp to Ms Galus. * In need of FIELD CREW people. People are needed on the Friday morning rehearsal on August 9th to teach them how to move equipment for the Blue Debut performance and competitions. Please send an e-mail if interested to Ms Galus or Karen Marciniak. * Due to our size, we no longer qualify for the Scholastic Class for competitions. We are now in the Open Class competition circuit. This pushes our final competition back to October 19th at Chesterton High School. * Since we are staying for the duration of each competition this year, the kids will need to pack lunches, including a drink, to bring with them. It was recommended that the kids put their lunches in a thermal tote or cooler. If they do not have a tote or cooler than they are to talk with their section leader and/or Ms Galus and the section leader will provide a cooler to use. * Looking for help to paint the tarp for our performance. Looking for people who are available during the days of band camp to paint. Please contact Ms Galus. * DOES ANYONE HAVE A TRAIN OR NAUTICAL BELL THAT CAN BE USED FOR THE PERFORMANCE? PLEASE CONTACT MS GALUS. * There was discussion of having reserved seating for concerts. 50 seats would be available for purchase at an additional $1.00 per seat. It was discussed to try this at the Fall Sampler. Family pricing and early seating was also discussed. More discussion on this at the next meeting. * Handicap Parking for concerts/musical was brought up. The Boosters would like to see Handicap Parking only in the drive/parking spaces along the sidewalk. Mr Strasser said he would speak with Mr Williamson about this. PLEASE ASL YOUR CHILD TO PARK IN THE PARKING LOT AND NOT NEXT TO THE BUILDING FOR CONCERTS/MUSICAL. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21ST, 6PM IS THE NEXT BOOSTER MEETING PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND
