Marching Band Blast August 8, 2017

Hello Marching Band Families,

Here is our latest information from our band boosters.  Lots of information please read the entire email.

Entertainment Books

We are in full swing with this years entertainment book fundraiser! If you have sold your books and need more let us know and we can get those to you. If you have money you can put into the red mailbox. 

If you have books that you will not be selling we are having a turn in date. It will be before school on Aug 21st. Please return books that you will not be selling so that we can get them to families that need them. 

March a thon

Your student should have brought home their packets with the flyers. Please have your student return the filled out flyers to the band room if they have not already done this. We will cover the postage and get them mailed out to your family and friends. This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year, but we need your help to make this happen. Please encourage your student to get them turned in. During March a thon we will be raffling off prizes for those who have participated.

Parent show shirts 

Tomorrow night (Wed) will be the last day that we will be able to accept orders for parent show shirts. Please send your orders and money with your student to practice tomorrow night. We will not be placing a second order, so this is your last chance to show your Marching band pride.

Music and Arts Training

Volunteer training for Music and Arts Rental Nights is Wednesday, August 9, from 6pm - 8pm in the Band Room (during your kids' rehearsal).
Training is a 2 hour session at LHS Band Room to show volunteers how to properly help others fill out the instrument rental contract form.
Volunteers will help families complete instrument rental contracts at several Middle and Elementary School rental nights.

Actual sessions will be approximately 3 hours sessions at various locations to fill out the instrument rental contract forms.  Sign Ups for these will come soon in a separate Sign Up.

LHS Band will earn $50 per person per session for your help.  A great way to help make $$ for the band program for just a little bit of your time.  The Band Directors will use this toward the purchase of an instrument or supplies.

We need 15 or more volunteers to be trained; that way no one will have to work every event. You must receive training to work.  If you received training last year; you still need to attend because Music and Arts may have made changes to the contract and process.  Older siblings (college age or over 18) are welcome!

If you would like to help or just want to find out more about it, please come to this training/informational meeting.  Please sign up using the signup genius below:

Thank you for your continued support!

Scrip

The next Scrip order due date will be Tuesday, August 15.  Orders must be submitted online by 8PM or dropped of in the red mailbox by the end of  the school day on Tuesday, August 15.  For more information on the Scrip program click Liberty.Band Scrip or contact Shawna Shepherd at Shawna@swiftluna.com.  For a list of retailers and current promotions please click ShopWithScrip  Orders placed on August 15 will be available for pick up in the band room after school on Friday, August 18.

Thanks to our wonderful marching band parents!!!!

Marching Band Blast from July 12

MARCHING BAND BLAST

July 12,2017

Volunteering

Welcome to the reigning State Champion Pride of the Lancers Band Boosters Organization! If your child is in band then you are automatically part of our extraordinary organization. Over the next several weeks you will likely meet your new best friends working and cheering side by side. You will also get to see this giant machine of an organization gear into motion. We parents will be working towards a common goal of loving on our kids and giving them the best band experience Liberty can offer. We also ease the life of our amazing directors and allow them to do what they do best; working hard to get our kids ready for competitions and performances.  Our family has never regretted becoming involved, it has been a great way to know our kids better, their friends, their parents, etc.  And even if they don’t admit it at first they like having you around!  In case you haven’t heard Mr. Singmaster say it, it is true we do have some of the best, most polite kids around. So if you are new here, this is what usually happens; an email goes out with a link to the Signup Genius website asking for volunteers. On that page there will be additional information about what you are signing for and a place to sign up. It all happens in real time so you know instantly what spots are open, and you get a reminder through your email a couple days before. You can also go back and look at it, or change it if you need to. This will happen throughout the year as we need help. Speaking of which….. We are about a week and a half from one of the biggest weeks of the year BAND CAMP….and below is the link. We have big jobs, little jobs, and jobs at different times of the day. I really think there is something for most everyone, whether you decide to set up a shelter or grill, bring buckets of water, iron a uniform, shred papers, build a prop, fix a wheel, blow up balloons, move furniture, organize Band-Aids, sell soda, donate a pie, a pan of fruit, or a plate of cookies, serve food, wash off a table, put things away until the next day, check to make sure doors are locked, etc. It is all very much appreciated and all us working together is what makes this whole organization work, and whole lot of fun! So if you are a bit timid, like I was at first, I encourage you to step out and sign up for something that seems interesting, there will be others who have done it before that will help you along the way. So there is my pep talk…I will try to make my emails from now on much more concise and to the point. I am excited to get to know each of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do. AND NOW THE LONG AWAITED LINK

Greenery Pickup this Saturday (3 Dec)

Liberty Parents,

Just a final reminder that your students can pick up their Greenery orders this Saturday (3 Dec) from 10:00am to Noon at Liberty High School.  Please have your students pick up all their orders for their customers unless they have already coordinated with their customer(s) to pick up themselves.  As a reminder, Pine Creek Football is hosting a football game at the District 20 stadium at 1:00pm.  They are expecting over 5,000 to attend so the earlier you pick up on Saturday the better. 

See you this Saturday!
