Band BBQ - TONIGHT!!

It's Day 10, of 10 - we've made it through Band Camp 2014!! Yay! So what should we do now? LET'S EAT!!! Hot dogs, beef burgers, and garden burgers will be provided. Can you help with food? See below...

The annual Band BBQ is tonight, at Tigard High. Be here by 6pm to hear some terrific musical selections from the THS Marching Ensemble, and some from the larger THS Band Program as a whole! And then we'll have great food, and everyone will get terrific information on what will be happening this year. The Band Booster treasurer will be here with complete Balloon Festival and Fireworks information (yay for Student Accounts!) and fees can be paid tonight - or arrangements made, if this falls at an awkward time in the pay period. Fee payment methods include any and all of the following:

• Check
• Cash
• Student Account transfers
• Credit 

So come on over - we'll see you tonight!

Bring food to help out! Last name beginning with

• A-J bring salads, 
• K-T bring fruits or veggies
•  U-Z bring chips

 
 

Band Camp - Week Two!

Here we go - time for Band Camp, part Deux!

Last week, you learned about your left foot, marching strides, back marching (never heel-down!), PT, the importance of drinking water, Intro music, and 14 pages of drill. Whew!

This week, we're going to continue adding to that great beginning, so let's get going!

(And don't forget that $5 donation, so that you can watch McKee get an icy bath...)

Garage Sale Day One - In The Books!

Today was the first day of the 2014 THS Band Garage Sale, and we took in over $2500 - whoo hoo! Thanks to everyone who worked to make it such a great success!

Now we need to look to tomorrow. There WILL NOT be kids at marching band to help set up on Saturday - Band Camp Week One is over and there is no rehearsal tomorrow. So here's what we need:  

• a good crew to set up at 7 (1 1/2 - 2 hours) 
• folks to work the sale itself 
• 9 - noon  
• noon -3 
• a take-down crew at 3 (1 - 1 1/2 hours). 

Where do YOU fit in? Michelle Woodworth is offering Sonic to all band kids who help set up and/or take down - yes! And EVERYONE (kids and adults) who helps on Saturday is welcome to come to a casual pool/BBQ party at McKee's house Monday after band camp (starting at 5:30ish). Considering that the forecast is for temperatures in the 90s, that sounds pretty good!!
Here's the list of people we know who are already committed to helping tomorrow. Will YOU join in?

Wow! Everyone Really Stepped Up!!

A great big "Thank you!!" from Michelle - the crews that showed up to price and sort today got it all done! Yay!

So, if you volunteered to work on Thursday, it's all finished and there's nothing for you to do.  Thanks  so much anyway.

We can definitely use more people on Friday and Saturday, so check the previous post and see where you might fit in.

Again, great thanks for stepping up. And see you at the sale!!
