[Dhsbb-jazz] 1st Band Boosters Meeting Info

[Choy Family]

Welcome Band Parents,
   
  For those of you who were able to attend one of the two Band Booster Meetings this month, thank you.  If you still have the volunteer form at home, remember to send it to Peter Matlock as soon as you decide if you are able to do one or more of the positions.
  For those of you who were not able to make either meeting, we hope your knowing the Band Booster Meeting dates more in advance will help you free the evening up (Band Booster Dates are listed on this month’s newsletter which is on line).  The following is an abbreviated agenda of the meeting so we can catch you up with the information.  We also have attached the Band Boosters Volunteer Positions Form.  The form is meant to be filled out by 1 or 2 parents.  We encourage all parents to stay involved in their son or daughter’s band experience by becoming involved in Band Boosters.  Please carefully consider if you can take one or more of the positions on the form and send in the form to Peter Matlock.
   
  We hope to see you at the concerts and meetings.
  Mike Choy and Peter Matlock
