Mothers (and fathers!) of the Band (MOB) – Notes of Encouragement |
|
|
This optional activity and long standing tradition was started many years ago by a band mom to show the Band and staff our love and support during this busiest time of the competition season. This activity is not sanctioned by LBA. Anyone may choose to participate and write notes of encouragement for a specific section (e.g., trombones, color guard, etc.) to be distributed to students on the bus as they travel to KMEA competition on October 31. The maximum number of notes assigned will be 9. Review the sections below and email your choice to Brenda Boggs at bsbboggs@yahoo.com” >bsbboggs@yahoo.com. Karina or Brenda will then send you a list of students and a sample note. Notes must be returned no later than Friday, October 23. Watch e-news for collection dates/times. Notes can be returned to Karina Lancaster or Brenda Boggs. Tips for Note Preparation: § Short, hand-written, anonymous note of support and encouragement! Notes are not intended to suggest or emphasize winning. § Decorate paper with stickers, use scrapbook paper with music symbols, or whatever you choose. § Add your special touch! Sections: Baritones, Clarinets, Color Guard, Drum Majors, Flutes, Mellophones, Percussion, Saxophones, Sousaphones, Staff, Trombones, and Trumpets |

Meals for Mini Camp |
|

Food crew will need lots of volunteers for Mini Camp this week. We will be serving hamburgers for dinner on Wednesday evening, Canes for lunch Thursday and Moe’s for lunch on Friday. Please let Stacey know at stacey1016@yahoo.com” >stone1016@yahoo.com if you can help serve. We will also need cookies for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Drop cookies off to Stacey in parking lot as you deliver your student to band camp. Make sure all baked goods are peanut free, peanut butter free, and sesame seed free. If your student will not eat the meals being provided, please send a packed lunch. This will be an exhausting time for students and no one can afford to go without a meal. |

BINGO – Volunteers Needed Now |
|

Bingo is a year round fundraiser and we need your help! This is a busy time for everyone but the financial success of Bingo depends on parent volunteers. Several pull tab sellers are needed every Tuesday and Thursday – the bingo patrons want to give us their money by purchasing pull tabs! We ask that each family volunteer 12 times per year at Bingo. Please find a Tuesday or Thursday this fall and come to the Bingo Hall in Keithshire Shopping Center at 6:00 pm. You will meet some great parents and support the band’s fundraising efforts. |
