Agenda for mandatory parents meeting May 30

Calling ALL band parents. Please mark your calendars for Saturday, May 30 at 11 a.m. There is a mandatory meeting for all band parents at Wheat Ridge High School. This meeting is where you will get the most information about band and the upcoming season. We will follow this meeting with a pot luck picnic beginning at noon. Please save the day.

We all need to meet each other for a couple of reasons.

1. So we know who to look for in the stands during competitions!! and

2. Our kids will flourish with our BONDED support!!

Itinerary for the day is as follows:

If you need band shoes -- freshmen and incoming 8th grade marchers -- please show up at 10:30 to be fitted for shoes. Shoe price is still being determined. Last year it was in the range of $35 and gloves are $2 per pair.

11:00 am. - MANDATORY meeting for all.

12:00 pm. - POTLUCK PICNIC

To make the planning of this easier for all, we will divide everyone up in food groups as follows:

Eighth grade and Rookie Families - Any kind of hot dish -- to feed 12

Freshmen Families - You get appetizers, anything and everything works!! -- to feed 12 or more

Sophomore Families - any kind of cold salad -- with lettuce (include dressing), potatoes, pasta -- to feed 12 or more

Junior Families - Any kind of hot dish -- to feed 12

Senior Families - You get dessert!!

WRHS Band Boosters will provide all drinks and provisions -- plates, napkins, forks, etc etc.

We look forward to seeing all of you there!!

If anyone has any problems with this, or a question of any kind, please feel free to call Jebbi at 303-462-0084.

Hello Everyone!

First of all, thank you to everyone who came to the concert this week. You should be very proud of your student's accomplishments for this year, and for the seniors, the past four years. It has been a pleasure to work with your students this year, and I am very excited about the 2009-2010 school year!
