Volunteer Opportunity

Band Parents,

Wow – we’ve had a wonderful response to all of our requests for help and donations during the past month!! It’s been great to see all of you helping with everything from marking band fields to preparing food, measuring for concert uniforms, and everything in between!

We still have many on-going volunteer opportunities.  One of our current needs is for parents to help with putting together the fabric portion of our marching band props.  The fabric is arriving soon (all 500 yards of it)!  We’re planning to start work on Tuesday, August 27 (unless the fabric delivery is delayed).

We really need a LOT of help to sew the GIANT prop we will be using on the field for the show.  It’s going to be great and it’s going to be BIG. The great news is that you DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SEW TO HELP.  We need people to measure and cut fabric, pin fabric together, and help keep track of workflow.  If you have a sewing machine, PLEASE BRING IT.  There might also be some sewing that can be done at home so please let us know if you are one of those people that can do some sewing at home with a quick turn around time.

This schedule below should take us through the end of August and all of September.  The goal is to finish in 4 weeks time or sooner. (We need to finish before Legacy but it would be better to get done a week before that so the band can practice using the props.)

Sewing days and times will generally be Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, and Saturdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (while the kids are rehearsing).  We’ll be working at Karla Kelsch’s House (5830 Leon Young Drive, in Wolf Ranch).  Please bring a snack/lunch to share and a friend!

If you have not been receiving sewing emails, and would like to be added to the distribution list, please reply to this email.

Have a great weekend,

Beth Foster
