Marching Band CD's
The 2008 Marching Band CD's have arrived. This is by far the best recording that the band has ever done. It is very well balanced and as always, bigger, better, and stronger. For the orders that have been paid for, your children have been given their CD's. All other orders must be paid as soon as possible so we may pay the bill for the materials. Please turn in your money ($16 each) to Mr. Barbaro. Thank you.

Amherst Bands Winter Concert
The Amherst Bands Winter Concert is scheduled for Tuesday, December 16th at 7PM in the Steele Cafetorium. Tickets are $2 each and will be sold at the door. Come enjoy some great concert and holiday music.
|
Drumline Camps have been scheduled.
The Drill camps have been set.
Our first camp will be December 13th and 14th. Camp will begin around
11AM on Saturday and will continue to 4PM on Sunday. Camps will cost
only for the food that students eat. We usually have parents supply
the meals for a very low cost. All members will sleep in the band room
as we do in the lock-in, get up on Sunday, and practice some more. The
goal of the camp is to learn the marching part of the program and is
important for everyone to participate. The January camp is scheduled
for the 10th and 11th. Our first show is on January 17th at Dublin High School.

Disney Payment #3
The NOVEMBER Disney payment of $150 is due by the end of the week.
This will be the last payment until we return from school in January.
The January payment will only be $100. The last payment (in February)
for Disney will then be determined after taking off the money that was
earned by everyone working Bingo these last few months. Any questions or problems, please contact Mr. Barbaro as soon as possible. Thank you.

The rumors are true. The Amherst Band Program will be fielding the indoor drumline this season in the Mid-East Association Circuit and will participate in the Ohio Indoor Performance Association Circuit as well. The organization has been approved by the Amherst Band Boosters. A cost of $150 will be charged to each student to cover membership fees and uniform fees.

BINGO
This was a article in the football program with pictures of the seniors.
Booster Bingo operates 52 weeks per year on Wednesdays and second and fourth Sundays. By state law, NO ONE GETS PAID TO WORK BINGO. All of the work is performed by parent volunteers and the net proceeds are distributed under the charitable gambling guidelines through the State of Ohio. The Teams (Band) receive money in proportion to the amount of time the parents have worked.
Chris has designated all monies to be applied to the trip fees so the more people that work the more money we make. That being said, For October
All floor slots selling instant tickets.
10/12/08 6 late slots currently open
10/15/08 3 early and 7 late slots currently open
10/22/08 4 early slots and 7 late slots currently open
10/26/08 2 early and 7 late slots currently open
10/29/08 3 early and 7 late slots currently open
That could mean 1150.00 in our band account plus the 350 we normally earn with redliners for a total of 1500.00
That is almost three people trip fees.
You can sign up at Nord school during bingo hours.
We still need someone to commit to the second Sunday from 3;30 to 6:00 in the kitchen. Let me know if you have someone willing to make phone calls and get people scheduled. I will not sign up for band slots until I have people willing to show and up and commit or we lose money that a few of us have earned by taking red line positions and making a yearly commitment.
Any volunteers to call parents to fill spots please call Josi at 985-9556.
