Band Banquet tickets for May 19th are still available.  Contact Margie Vanetis (mvenetis@wideopenwest.com).  Tickets are $22 per person – you can send money in with your student to Mr. Schoenherr.  Banquet location is the American Polish Century Club.

Band Camp will be August 3rd through 8th.  Mr. Schoenherr is accepting Chaperone Applications.

All marching band students need to turn in a Summer Uniforms Order Form.  Student t-shirts are included in the band camp cost, but a form needs to be completed with the student’s size.  Parents are welcome to order their own t-shirts on the same form.

Tickets are $22 per person and will be available at the Band Booster meeting tonight or through Margie Vanetis (mvenetis@wideopenwest.com).  The banquet is at the Polish Century Club on May 19th.  Doors open at 6:00pm.  Program starts at 7:00pm.  

Senior biographies and Senior baby pictures should be sent to Jill White (hf2imb.treasurer@gmail.com).

We look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting on Monday, April 14 at 7 pm. We will be holding board elections for 3 positions – Vice President, Ways & Means, and Recording Secretary.  If you are interested in any of these positions or would like to nominate someone that you think would be interested – please email me before the meeting.

• Bunny Breakfast is April 12th.
• Flower Sale orders are due April 14th.
• Road Rally is April 26th.

Summer Band Camp will be here soon!  1st payment will be due at the May Band Booster Meeting. It’s not too late to pay for this through fundraising.  It is very possible to make that payment by participating in the Flower Sale and/or Road Rally fundraisers!
