Pageant Volunteers Needed
Dear Band Parents and Guardians:
A message from our pageant fundraiser team leader:
Queen of Hearts will be here before we know it! The most important detail is the part you will play in this pageant. We have received comments and notes from some volunteers, but we need more. The more volunteers, the smoother the pageant runs.
Here are the teams of volunteers we need to build. Ideally we will have one person in charge with a team working with them. If you volunteer to be in charge of a team, I will make sure you know EXACTLY what needs to be done so it doesn’t matter if you haven’t done a specific task before.
Decorations of the stage
Concession Stand - Kim
Tickets – Jimmy and Alice
Hall Monitors/Door Guards/Room Monitors
Photographer
Registration
Escorts of the girls to/from the stage
Hospitality for the judges (they will need a light dinner)
Set up and Clean Up
Spotlights
Feel free to email me at queenofheartspageant@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to volunteer. Thanks for all your hard work!

Chaperones Needed Saturday, 1/7/12
Dear Moody Band Parents and Guardians:
If your student has signed up to work at the bagging-for-tips fundraiser at Food Giant tomorrow, please stay to help chaperone a portion of the activity with your child. Having many chaperones throughout the day will make lighter work for all and will offer relief to those who would otherwise have to sacrifice an entire Saturday.
Thank you!

End-of-Semester Round-up
Band: Great job at last night's concert! I'm proud of all of you! Let's get a few housekeeping items in order before you have a break:
1. Be sure to take your instrument home and practice during the break. All-state, solo and ensemble, EE books, and MPA material are just a few of the items to woodshed in your time off. Let's all come back as stronger players!
2. The contents of the band room lost-and-found bin will be donated to charity during the holidays. Please check the bin for your belongings before you leave!
3. Remove all personal items from the cubbies. A quick check of the cubbies this morning revealed everything from broken tubes of slide grease to VW hubcaps (mid-to-late 1960s vintage, I believe). Contents of cubbies also will be removed during the break.
Have a wonderful holiday! I'll see you on January 4th!
