Hope to see everyone at the Chicken BBQ this Saturday.

Congratulations to the Marching Band on their performance in Louisville.  Thanks also to the Family and Friends who went along to chaperone or support us.

 

We need more volunteers for ecology duties at the Jamie Farr golf tournament. The greatest need is for Sunday, August 12th (the final day of the tournament) but we also need volunteers for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and the Monday after the tournament is over.

You can sign up your team online at http://awbb.org/contact-us/committees/jamie-farr

You can also volunteer at the following events: Band Booster meeting (Monday, May 7th), Chicken BBQ (Saturday, May 12th), Symphonic Band concert (Tuesday, May 15th), and any of the awards ceremonies/banquets coming up in the next few weeks.

This is one of our largest fundraisers of the year. We encourage you to form a team (of 2, 4 or more people) to take care of the trash around the tees, greens, fairways and hospitality areas during the tournament. As a volunteer, you can attend the tournament for free, even when you are not working. Golf fans can enjoy being part of the organization that puts on this great event, but you do not have to be a golf fan to have a good time.

Band parents, students, alumni, relatives, neighbors and anyone interested in helping are welcome to volunteer. We especially welcome junior high and middle school families: it is a fun way to get involved as a booster.

 

AWBB is in need of just a few more volunteers to ensure the success of the upcoming Chicken BBQ.

We are specifically in need of  raffle ticket sellers on all three shifts, 2:00 – 3:30, 3:30 – 5:00 and 5:00 – 6:30, but especially for the 5:00 – 6:30 time slot; two more servers for the 5:00 – 7:00 shift and more help with clean up at 6:30.

If you are willing and able to help, please contact Karen Lemle using our online form.

She will be in contact to confirm.

Thank you for all you do to help the AW band programs shine!

Our last two major events are upon us. I just received our performance times last night.

Next Friday, May 11th is OMEA District 1 large group contest. We perform at Owens Community College.

Both bands will be leaving school at 2pm Friday.

Students MUST bring to school or wear to school their band polo and khaki pants. Failure to have these items will result in a zero as they will not be allowed to come.

The 7th grade band performs at 3:10 and the 8th grade band performs at 4:25.

We are expecting to return to AWJH by 5:45.

You are welcome to attend this performance if you want!

Also, chicken BBQ is the following day, May 12th.

The Jazz band performs at 2:30, 7th grade at 3:30 and 8th grade at 4pm. Same dress code applies.

Please contact Penney Raabe if you want to donate a dessert or volunteer to help out if you have not had your child turn in a blue slip to me.

If you have any questions please contact me!
