We wanted to give the DHS band families, and our incoming 10th grade families, an end of the year update before everyone starts their summer. Please read all the way through, there?s an important announcement at the end that is vital to the continuation of DHS Band Boosters. Attached are the minutes from last week's DHS Band Booster meeting. We have already begun planning a great trip to celebrate Victoria Day next May, 2020, with a trip to Seattle and Victoria, B.C.! To remind you just how important DHS Band Boosters is to the DHS Bands program, we'd like to share what we provided for these musicians this last school year, as compared to what they get from the district: From DJUSD: Mr. Slabaugh and Mr. Moreno pooled their $500 and got a new director chair/stand. That?s it. From Boosters: Concert expenses, outside professional tutors and section directors, and sheet music: $2129. Festivals and Honor Band: $4819 Instrument repair: $2100 Transportation: $2917 Disney trip contribution: $1682 New instrument purchases (saxophone, crotales and case, tuba, french horn): $8209 We've attached the final banking summary for you to review. As you can see, there were other expenses as well (accounting, fundraisers, paying for substitutes when Mr. Slabaugh was on a trip or to festivals with the students, etc). In March the students went on a super fun trip to Disneyland, including a recording session with Disney music! Sue and Melinda did a fabulous job keeping the trip on budget. In fact, they were able to keep the trip at $850 per person (as opposed to increasing it to $1000, which we almost had to do.) And just as a reminder for next year?s Victoria trip: every student can go, regardless of ability to pay. One of the things boosters provides is trip support if a family cannot afford all the trip fee. Carolyn, Stephen, and others did a great job with Coconut Grove: We met our goal of $13,000! DHS band parents did a great job with direct donations! We raised over $14,000, exceeding our goal of $10K! The Tea Party fundraiser brought in $5728! With all the above, and other, fundraising, and managing expenses, this leaves us with about a $7500 increase in our bottom line. This is great news, as it can be used next year, and in years to come, to continue to provide for the band program. HOWEVER: MOST IMPORTANTLY: no one has yet volunteered to be treasurer. We must have a treasurer to continue boosters. If we do not have one, boosters will have to dissolve. We also need a secretary. Calling all incoming 10-12 grade parents, we need these positions filled! We legally must of have them both, to continue our booster organization. If we do not receive any volunteers for treasurer and secretary by the first band meeting next August, we will begin the process of closing out the organization. Please don?t let this happen. Without band boosters the music program will wither away. Please contact booster President Rob Kerner (email below). We hope you all have a great summer, and we?ll be in touch in August to start planning another fun year!
