GRADUATION!
Students need to arrive by 9AMish to the band room and be in their seats ready to play by 9:30AM in Gym 1. Expect about a ten minute walk or more from the band room to the gym through construction. Parking will be overwhelming!
Dress NICELY! No shorts; no tennis shoes; no flip flops; no jeans; no t-shirts.... instead of wearing tuxes and concert dresses, students must be dressed appropriately for the ceremony. Attendance is required and determines the final exam grade. See the directors with questions.
You asked for it! You got it!
Car window decals have been ordered and should be arriving the week of May 7th!
There is no gray on the decal; that part will be clear.
Decals will cost $7.50 for one sticker or $10 for two stickers.
Leigh will have these available for sale at the spring band awards, May 15th, 7:30.
Cash would be lovely! Exact change would be awesome!
Spring Awards on May 15th
Judson Erne Auditorium, 7PM
Letters, chevrons, patches and awards will be presented. The Band Booster boards will be elected by those adults in attendance.
Spread the Word!

Renner Drive 4 UR School!
May 19th, 9AM - 3PM
Students were given a flyer and 10 'tickets' to be passed out to friends and family in class on Thursday, May 3rd. PLEASE be sure the ticket has the student's name PRINTED CLEARLY in the space provided. The first 300 test drives will be counted towards student accounts. Tell your test drivers to come early. One test driver per household per test drive is allowed.
| |
Students may sign up in the band room near the Lost and Found tub for shifts. Walk in test drivers will be divided between students who volunteer that day... multiple shifts means multiple pay out! Students will NOT drive with test drivers; students will advertise with signs up and down the sidewalk, help with concessions and help with general gopher duties.
|
| |
Volunteering adults (who will drive with test drivers) will also earn up to $25 per shift towards their student's account. Adults should visit the Doodle poll and sign up for as many shifts as they are able! Adults are not responsible for sales information. Interested parties will be diverted to Renner sales staff.

Salute Concert Concessions
Friday, May 25th, 2012 evening at Columbus Courthouse
This is a joint effort with the Marching Olympians (East HS) where the two high schools provide concessions at the Salute concert honoring our veterans. Proceeds are placed in the General Band Fund which helps to offset fees keeping things reasonable. This is a remarkable concert that the Columbus Philharmonic sponsors every year guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes as our veterans are thanked for their service! This is truly a moving concert that you do NOT want to miss.
Help is needed with set-up immediately after school, cashiers during two shifts, grillers during two shifts, wrappers during two shifts and drink dryers during two shifts.

CALIFORNIA DETAILS!!!
California Meeting Stuff!
Did you miss it? The informational meeting was 2/20/12 but it is not too late to hear more information!
Please look for a California Fund Raising and California Details document to the far left of the website.
California Details is the Power Point presentation in the meeting.
You will need the trip number in order to register: 1211-2-80.
Some points of clarification:
| | 8th graders (rising freshmen) MAY participate in fundraisers! Pay attention to the website for dates and get in touch with the Contact people to sign up. |
| | All trip participants must make the Mar 15, 2012 Trip $100 initial payment directly to MTC. Existing funds from individual band accounts may not be used for this payment. |
| | The first Marching Fee payment of $150 due on June 12, 2012 will be withheld from individual band accounts before any money can be applied to cover trip fee payments. Students may elect to use any amount in their individual band accounts in excess of the first $150 Marching Fee payment to cover the trip payments due in April, May, June, and July. |
| | Any funds remaining in band accounts on August 1, 2012 will be applied first to the second Marching Fee payment of $100 due on August 17, 2012. Any amount remaining after the second marching fee is withheld may then be used against the August 15, 2012 trip payment. |
| | Any funds remaining in band accounts on October 1, 2012 will be applied first to the third Marching Fee payment of $100 due on October 12, 2012. Any amount remaining after the third Marching Fee payment is withheld may then be used against the October 1, 2012 trip payment. |
| | Any money remaining in band accounts on November 1, 2012 may be applied to the final trip payment due on that date. Note the this amount is estimated in the example fee schedule below based upon approximate trip costs and Quad Occupancy rates. The amount of the final trip payment will be determined by MTC prior to this final payment once final trip costs are known. |
| | For Fall Athletes not paying Marching Fees, the first $50 Band Fee Payment will be withheld from individual band accounts. All remaining individual band account funds may be applied to the April through November trip payments. |
