From john.a.horn at intel.com Thu Aug 21 22:49:44 2014 From: john.a.horn at intel.com (Horn, John A) Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 05:49:44 +0000 Subject: [Dhsbb-jazz] Football and Music - 2nd Annual Monday Night Football Fundraiser for DHS Bands Message-ID: <31E5EEBE70B474419207FB83C01C03031BDAFA96@FMSMSX110.amr.corp.intel.com> Davis Music Families, We are kicking off our 2nd Annual Monday Night Football Fundraiser/Game to help support the DHS Band Boosters for the DHS Bands Spring Trip and other Band Activities! I am confident that all of you of have family members and friends that enjoy football ? as much as music :) It will add excitement to watching their Monday Night Football games! They'll love it! It's a win/win fundraiser. Everyone gets 4 chances per game to win back some or all of their donation. Can't beat those odds ;-) We'll pay out $2125 over the course of 16 weeks (17 games) to the winners and we'll earn just under $3000. All proceeds will be donated to the DHS Band Boosters (for the 2014-15 Band activities, trips and festivals)! Here is how it works: 1. The pool consists of 100 squares on a standard 10x10 matrix sheet. We are hoping that each family can sell 1 or 2 squares. If you can sell more than 2, that is great, we'll fill the grid faster! 2. Please turn the cash or checks into the Boosters as quickly as possible. Checks should be made out to DHS Band Boosters. 3. Once you sell a square, email John Horn (john.a.horn at intel.com) the following information: a. the name of the person b. who sold the square c. The email of the person buying the square d. which square they would like (2 across, 7 down or doesn?t matter). The squares are on a 1st come, 1st served basis, and if that square is already taken, the next square to the right, left, up or down will be chosen based on availability. In order to know which music family sold the square, we will put your last name next to their name. For example, Bob Smith (Horn). 4. The cost for each square is $50. We will payout $25 for the first three quarter winners and $50 to the final score winner. We will play 17 Monday Night Football games this year; 17 X 4 (68) chances to win!!! The first game is NY Giants @ Detroit Lions Monday 9/8 at 4:10pm (2 games that night). 5. The numbers 0-9 will be drawn randomly and assigned to the top row and the drawn again for the first column. The numbers (0-9) will be redrawn for each week using a deck of cards. The sheets for each week will be sent out to the participants by Monday noon of each week. The last digit of the score will be used to determine the winners for each quarter. For example, of the score after the 1st qrtr is Giants 13, Lions 10, the numbers corresponding to 3 on the visiting side and 0 on the home side will be the 1st quarter winner. 6. We will email the participants with the pool numbers spreadsheets for each of the 17 weeks. 7. When one of your family/friend participants wins, the money for their winnings will be given to you for distribution or send to them directly, based on their desire. Correspondence will be via email. 8. Finally, the squares of the participants will be the same for the 16 weeks, BUT different numbers will be drawn for each week i.e. no square is better than the other ? equal chances no matter which square you have! Here is what the sheet looks like right now: [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/29/ESPN_MNF_CLR_Pos.jpg/200px-ESPN_MNF_CLR_Pos.jpg] 2013 Home Team Away Team -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It should be a wonderful event that will allow our students a chance to perform for a hometown college crowd and perform with a collegiate marching band. Since this is a new event, I'm sure there are many question. I hope this email answers the majority of these and, as always, feel free to contact me at your earliest opportunity. We will be allowed to bring in a limited number of chaperones into the stadium. However, if you would like to watch this event and enjoy an Aggie Football game, you may purchase discounted tickets by following the instructions on the attached flyer. Mr. Slabaugh P.S. The embedded links may not work. Please go to www.ucdavis.edu and find the campus map to determine parking locations. 12:00 ? 1:00 Parking Map: * Busses in lot 35 (circled in red) * Personal cars in lot 25 (circled in red) * Vehicles can stay there for the duration of the day, for free since it's a weekend. Those are the closest free parking lots on game days, which is convenient because our facility is in the Activities and Recreation Center, circled on the map in green. * Each other lot charges for parking and has availability issues. Since the quarter system does not start until October this year, I am not anticipating any issues with parking in 35 and 25. * The best, safest way to walk from the parking lots to the stadium is down either of the bike paths that follow LaRue, or across Hutchinson Field, both to the light on Hutchison and LaRue. 1:00 ? 3:00 Rehearsal: * The CAMB will have been rehearsing the CAMB only portion of the set for an hour at 1:00, when high schools arrive please enter through the stadium tunnel. The tunnel is located on the northwest corner of the stadium, and I'll be there starting around 12:45 to meet everyone. * We'll go through another round of warmups as a group and break off into sectionals. * Sectionals will run 30-40 minutes * Run the pieces as a group, detail band locations and protocol for taking the field. * Run the combined sections, including taking the field from position. * We will get at least two full runs of the show before we have to be completely out of the stadium at 3:00. 3:00 ? 5:00 Break: * We have the ARC ballroom reserved for Band Day during this time, but we might run into an issue. Firstly, the ballroom is having a new media system (projectors, speakers, etc.) installed during the month of August and I've just received word that construction is lagging behind the initial schedule, and it still might be in progress on the 6th. Secondly, the ballroom has a capacity of 500, which we will be over anyways. I've reserved the ARC courtyard in the meantime, but I'm trying to find a better place. * This is the time for eating bag lunches if you've brought them. Aggie Stadium is the nation's first zero waste stadium and they are very strict about outside food and drink. We've been able to bring in food bins, bringing all our trash with us but for this game I have not been given permission to let the schools do the same. There is, of course, food for sale in the stadium. It's not the cheapest or the healthiest, as you can imagine, so I would highly suggest packing a lunch to eat during the break. * The CAMB will put on a concert for the students at approx. 4:25, followed by a group run-through of the show. * 5:00 we block up on the west side of the pavilion and head to the stadium 5:10 ? 9:00 Game Time * School bands will follow the block to the stadium, and break off to head into the stands. I'll accompany high schools to the south gate entrance where wristbands will be provided for band students , directors, and chaperones. * 6:05 kickoff * The CAMB will join us in the stands after performing for tailgates around Aggie Stadium. * Seating isn't finalized yet, but it will be some combination of sections 105 through 108. * During the game the NCAA employs a no music during play policy. We ask that high school students refrain from playing their instruments in the stands during the game. Schools have gotten on the field penalties just for musicians noodling around on their instruments during play. * Halftime: * We'll use a combination of ramps to get the bands onto the turf, and run our show as rehearsed in the morning. * The CAMB will head to the field first, followed by the high schools. This way if not everyone is on the turf at the clock-start-time they can still get in position while the CAMB performed their standalone segment before the combined performance. * We have a massive 12 full minutes for this show. We've dedicated 5 to the CAMB performing alone, and 7 to a combined performance of Hey Brother and Bully. This is going to be a great performance! * After clearing the field we will have to stay outside the white field lines while we funnel back up into the stands. 9:00 Post Game * All visiting schools are invited to perform with us for our post game concert outside the stadium. * We will have some additional folders available, but not nearly enough for everyone so we will pair students up with CAMB members in like sections. * Post game is usually five pieces, around a half an hour. * As this will push people's timeline fairly late, I certainly wouldn't expect everyone to stay.
