Grand Nationals Videos Have Arrived!
If you ordered a Grand Nationals’ Finals Video from Mr. Video at the end of last marching season, they have arrived!
You may pick up your copy
- at the Spring Concert on May 9th or
- at the General Boosters Meeting on May 14th
- or at the Volunteer Fair on May 19th.
A few families have not picked up their End-of-Season DVD’s. Not to be confused with the Grand National Finals Video, the End of Season DVD highlights the entire Marching Band Season. If you paid for that DVD, it will also be available for pick up on the same dates as the Grand National Finals’ Video.
Notaries Needed for Volunteer Fair – SAT MAY 19
During the Volunteer fair, parents will be able to sign their student’s health form in front of a notary. To ensure a short wait time, we are looking for a couple more parents who are notaries and would be able to serve in that capacity during the Volunteer Fair. If you are interested, please contact Lisa Harbour . Thank you!
Volunteer Fair – SAT MAY 19
During Get Acquainted Camp on Saturday, May 19th, the Boosters will be conducting a Volunteer Informational Fair for parents to come and find out how they can get involved in helping our fantastic Marching Band program. The Fair will be in the atrium in front of the Dale Graham Auditorium from 1 to 3pm. Our students need our volunteer support to make this season a success! As a result, all MB families will be required to volunteer to help with one of the two major fundraisers this year and one operational aspect of the Marching Band..So plan to come and visit booths with representatives from the two fundraisers and each operational area and decide where you want to get plugged in. There will be plenty of volunteer opportunities available that will fit a busy working parent’s schedule! The fair will end in time for new parents to attend the New Parent Boot Camp prior to the student performance at the end of Get Acquainted Camp. Questions? Contact Lisa Harbour
