New Washington Middle/High School Band Boosters Meeting

Minutes from May 2, 2005
By Lisa Hughes, Secretary

There were fifteen people in attendance.
The minutes from the last meeting were read.
The treasurer’s report was given. The band accounts have been updated as close as possible to date.
Final payments for the Disney trip are to be made today. There will be a mandatory meeting for those going on the trip at 7pm on June 6th. A notary will be available on that day for those still needing their medical forms notarized.
The band banquet is set for May 17th at 7pm. Those ordering band pictures will be able to view them that night. They should have appointments set up already. We are still waiting on a total count of people attending to see how much food to order. Notes have been sent home telling which grades to bring which dishes.
Grades 8 thru 11 will be playing at graduation on June 3rd. The 7th grade can play if they wish, it is optional for them.
We have about the same number of students signed up for the marching band as we did last year. We could also have a guard of 8-10. The mini-camp for marching band may be changed to evenings due to some scheduling conflicts. Any changes will be announced at a later date.
Mr. Kahl would like to buy a full drum line and two tubas for the band department. He will be checking several companies and getting the best prices. He estimates that the drums would cost $5,000-$6,000 dollars and the tubas $7,000. Those in attendance voted for him to go ahead and purchase those instruments.
We found out that we spend approximately $2,000 on transportation.
Officers were elected. The same people holding offices were re-elected. They are as follows: President Nancy Richter
Vice President Sherry Kern
Treasurer Karen Jackson
Secretary Lisa Hughes

The next meeting is set for June 6th, 2005 @ 7pm. THIS IS A MANDATORY MEETING FOR THOSE GOING ON THE DISNEY TRIP.
The meeting was adjourned.
