MARCHING BAND CAMP UPDATES:
Throughout the years, our
Marching Band parents have volunteered to chaperone year after year,
based on having a great time at camp. We have room for 4 more
chaperones. To be certified as a chaperone for SUSD (Band Camp) you need
to go to this web site and follow the links. IT'S EASY TO DO! SUSD
Chaperone info is online:

The Marching Band wants to
send a BIG thank you to Kate and Peter Lyon for volunteering to drive
the Equipment truck to and from Heber, AZ on August 3 and on August 8.
Contact Sharon Holzer at
SSHAZ54@aol.com with any camp questions or to volunteer.

Mrs. Irvin is expecting
the music for the 2009 marching show “Game Over” to be ready in the
beginning of July. In an exciting development, band members will be
able to access their music ON LINE. The synthesized version of the show
will also be available on the band website. Stay tuned for further
details.
Band 101
Band Family Dinners
(formerly known as Dinner with the Director)
Once a month during the
school year, the Boosters will hold a fundraiser at a local restaurant.
This is also an opportunity for the families in the band to mix and
mingle, create new friendships and visit with old friends. The
restaurants usually donate a percentage of the sales for the day and/or
evening to the Desert Mountain Band Boosters. Most times patrons are
asked to provide a flyer in order to receive credit for the sale. The
flyers will be available in the band room and passed out to parents at
the monthly Booster meeting, or after practice on Tuesday evenings
during marching season. There will also be a flyer attached to the
weekly email. Typically this has been a lucrative fundraiser for the
band that requires very little effort. Good food, great friends and $$$
for the band, what a great deal!
The Band Family Dinners
will begin in August so WATCH FOR THE FIRST DATE!
A dunk tank…hmmm,
stay tuned for more information…. |
