Our sixth grade beginning band students have been working hard this semester learning to play their instruments!  Their first concert will be on Thursday, November 10th at 6:30 in the SGHS cafeteria.  Please see the document below for more details. 

Friday (10/14) - There is a football game! and it is Senior night!
High school students need to report to the band room no later than 5:30. 
We will also need several student volunteers to help set up the sweet shop around 4:30, so please let Mrs. Jennings know if you can assist with this.  The Senior night ceremony will take place before the game, and we will perform our field show at halftime.

Saturday (10/15) - Meadow Creek BBQ Fundraiser! 
Band students in grades 7-12 should report to Meadow Creek church by 2:45 Saturday afternoon.
We will be performing so make sure you bring your instrument and pep tunes.  Wear a South Greene band shirt if you have one or something South Greene school colors if you don't.  Students will be responsible in assisting with this event and helping to clean up afterward.  They can be picked up at 7:30pm.

This is a reminder that the ticket money for our Meadow Creek BBQ fundraiser is due tomorrow.  Please make sure that your students brings the money and any unsold tickets in a sealed envelope with their name written on the front.  The fundraiser itself is next Saturday, October 15th from 3:00-7:00.  Our 7th-12th grade students are performing and helping out at this fundraiser.  They will need to be at Meadow Creek Presbyterian Church next Saturday by 2:45 and can be picked up at 7:30 as students will need to stay and help clean up and load up all of our band equipment.  They need to wear a South Greene band shirt if they have one or something South Greene school colors.  I'm not sure what the weather looks like for next weekend yet, but they will probably also want to bring a light jacket. We are still in need of a volunteer to pull the band trailer to Meadow Creek Church on Saturday as well, so let us know if you can take care of this for us.  
Several of you have stepped up to bring in items for our 'sweet shop' table for tomorrow's game and/or offered to help out at the game in other ways and our band really appreciates that! However, we still need at least 3 more volunteers to help work the sweet shop table.  It is our homecoming game tomorrow night and there should be a large crowd.  If we have enough volunteers to run the sweet shop table then the band could raise quite a bit of money.  But if we can't get enough volunteers we will not be able to set it up and our program will miss out on a great opportunity.  So once again, on behalf of our program and your students, please volunteer to help at this game if you can.  Especially if you have not worked the table yet this year.  Our band program is growing and we should have plenty of parent help.  We cannot and should not rely on the same volunteers to help out each time.  Let me know ASAP if you can help run the sweet shop table either this Friday or next Friday as well.

Parents, there are several things that the band needs volunteers for over the next two weeks!  Below is a list of areas where help is needed; please let us know as soon as possible if you can help out!  Thanks in advance for all that you do for our band students.

1.  3-4 more volunteers are needed to help with the sweet shop this Friday, October 7th (homecoming), and 2-3 more to help next Friday on Senior Night. If you haven't helped out with this yet, now is a great time!

2.  We need a couple large jugs of cooking oil (vegetable)  brought in for frying the oreos also.

3.  We need parents to bring in brownies, rice krispie treats, etc. to sell at the 'Sweet Shop' table.  Please package them in individual portions and send them to the band room on Friday before the game.

4.  VERY IMPORTANT!  We need a couple of band dads/grandads to help with moving percssion equipment this Friday.  Mr. O will not be able to attend the game this Friday so we need a couple of parents to assist us with the percussion ATV.  We will need help pulling the equipment to the field for the homecoming ceremony (around 6:40), and pulling it on and off the field for our halftime field show performance.  We will also need to return it back to Well's after the game Friday night. 

5.  We need a volunteer to pull the band trailer to our Meadowcreek Fundraiser next Saturday, October 15th.  The trailer will need to be there at 2:45 and will then need to be pulled back to the band room after the event.
