Chaperones...

It’s your lucky week to chaperone the band this Friday, Sept 10 for our game against HOOVER at HOME. Please respond to my email whether or not you are planning to attend. Chaperones need to arrive at the school on Friday, Sept 10 at 4:30. We will be departing at 5:00, so please be on time.

When you get inside the band room, see me for bus and job assignments, as well as name tags. Please wear your band polo shirt or a white shirt if possible. THANK YOU so much for your willingness to help!!!

Contest dates are set...

We will be participating in the Southern Hospitality contest in Hartselle on October 2nd and the Heart of Dixie contest in Prattville on October 9th.
Schedules for practice and performance times for each contest will come closer to the date, but plan on each date being an all day event.

Chick-fil-a...

Christi Phifer Marketing Director of Chick-fil-A Alabaster and Oak Mountain will be feeding our band prior to the Spain Park game on Sept 17th at 4pm at Oak Mtn High School. Please make sure your student has a drink. They will provide a chick-fil-a sandwich, chips and brownie.

For the safety of your student...

For the safety of your student, please make sure the directors and head chaperone are aware when your student will be absent for an event or if the student will be checking in or out of an event.  If a student is checking in to an event they must come to the head chaperone and let her know they have arrived.  If the student is checking out of an event, a parent or authorized person must come to the head chaperone and sign the student out.  In all cases the student will be expected to ride the bus to or from the event based on the situation.

CONCESSIONS...

We are still in need of volunteers for this Friday's Hoover Football game.  Please email Anise Morris, anise.morris@vacation.com, to see what positions are still available.   

Please check the band website for spots still available to volunteer with the OMY Football Season.  If you are able to work, please email Julie Rock, jandjrock@bellsouth.net.

UNIFORMS...

Several students had to buy gloves and socks on credit last Friday night.  Please ask your child if he/she is one of them and help them remember  to bring in the money this Friday night.  It's hard for them to remember, so I told them I would send out an e-mail as a reminder.  Volunteers for this week's Hoover game are Vera Johnston, Sheri Cain, and Melody Brown.  Again anyone else who would like to help, just show up at the bandroom after the game and we'll put you to work.  Thanks again for all your hard work.  Doreen Thomas, doreent@bellsouth.net
Uniform Volunteers For Friday 09/10/2010 --- Vera Johnston, Sheri Cain, Melody Brown
