New Washington Middle/High School Band Boosters Meeting

Minutes from June 5, 2006
By Faith Stivers, Secretary

There were eight people in attendance.
The minutes from the last meeting were read.
The treasurer’s report was given. We ended the year with $10,164. All records were ready and turned over to the new treasurer.
Band Banquet survey answers were discussed. Education and communication seemed to be the main issues from the surveys. Mailing information to parents about band booster meetings was vetoed due to the cost. How ever, communication by e-mail is a possible alternative. The 6th and 7th grade parents need to get more info about us and ways to do this were discussed. There will possibly be a social in the fall.
The fund raiser for Wal-Mart has been set for August 5, 2006 with a back up date of August 4th and as a 3rd option July 28th. Nancy will continue to try and contact Bass Pro Shop.
We will raise prices in the fall for the concession stand.
Logo stickers were passed out to all the band students.
T-shirts will be ordered by Faith Stivers for the band booster parents. They will be light blue, 50-50 mix, dark blue letters, with the logo on front left shoulder and “Band Booster” on the back. We are ordering 6 Large, 4 XL’s, 1 2X and 1 3X. This should give us a few to have at the fireman’s booth.
The need for a new sign that has “New Washington Middle/High School Band” was briefly discussed and tabled for another meeting.
The Madison parade is June 30th. We will have a wagon with water there. The students need to be at the school be 3:30pm.
For the Fireman’s Festival the students need to be at the school by 11am. We will have a booth there on the 7th and 8th. Mr. Kahl will see about a table, fliers, TV, trophies, pictures and decals for the booth. Designated times were given to band booster parents to work the booth. We will have a jar for donations at the booth.
The budget was passed out and the 1st draft was gone over. The marching band section was approved and the rest was tabled for the September meeting.
The next meeting will be on July 24th at 7pm. One topic of discussion will be the possibility of a concert band, uniform rental fee for the coming year.
The meeting was adjourned.
