Band Uniform Collection- More Volunteers Needed!

Thank you to those who have already confirmed that they will be able to help with Band Uniform Collection this Saturday, October 29. More volunteers are needed to help make this process go as smoothly and as quickly as possible. Please email Lynn Yule at lynn.yule@akzonobel.com if you can help out. There will be a brief volunteer training at noon in the South Gym. Collection will start following the Half-Time Show for students with permission to leave then, and will continue with students being dismissed in groups during the second half of the game. With enough volunteers we hope to complete Collection by about an hour after the football game ends. Thank you for your support!

City Council Meeting Regarding Turf Fields, 10/24

We as co-presidents of the Band Boosters would like to make sure band families are aware of a community wide effort of the Turf Field and All Weather Track Initiative committee to bring turf fields/new track to Shaker. Click here for more information on this issue. The marching band would certainly benefit from turf fields -- having a mud free place to practice on as well as perform on! To show your support on this initiative, you are invited go to the City Council meeting this Monday, October 24th at 7 pm. We will be discussing this initiative at our next Band Boosters meeting November 7th (7 pm, HS band room).

Julianne McKinzie & Holly Wang, co-presidents, Band Boosters
