I received candy bar orders from the following people.
The candy will be at school tomorrow morning. Please see Mrs. Caulfield
for your box of candy if you are on this list. However ,if you have not turned
in your money for the 1st and 2nd box you will not be
allowed to take the next box of candy. I will be checking the mailbox for any
candy bar money tomorrow also. So if you have turned it in I will get it
then and you can disregard. Anyone wishing to sell a box of candy please see
Mrs. Caulfield and sign up and I will get you on the next round, or you may
email me. We are trying to deliver candy once a week.
Thank you to those you volunteered to help! If you are NOT working/attending the day of the event, please let me know so we can make arrangements to get your donated item. THANK YOU ALL!
As a reminder to those who offered to help, please try and arrive by 730 a.m:
Due to the Monocacy Middle School Winter concert, the concert band dress
rehearsal scheduled for December 16th from 6-9 p.m. has been moved to December
17th. Thank you for making this adjustment to your schedule.

We have Candy
Bars to sell!! Anyone interested in selling a box of candy to make money for their
student account please email me and I will make sure you receive a box of
candy. This is a great fundraiser. You will earn $24.08 per box sold.
Okay, it's the last weekend to sell those poinsettias and wreaths! Please, please, please have all money collected and orders turned in to Mrs. Caulfield this Monday November 16th by the end of the school day. This is to ensure that our orders can be filled in a timely fashion. The easiest way to do this is to send everything in with your band student in an envelope marked p and w sales. If for any reason you are unable to do this on Monday, contact me by phone (301-676-8135) not email please, and we'll arrange a meeting.
Thank you so much to all who participated in this fund-raiser. It's turning out to be a great success! On that note, I am looking for some reliable, responsible band students ( I know you all are), as well as some adult help in the distribution of the poinsettias & wreaths on Wednesday December 2nd from 4 to 7pm at the band room. Please shoot me an email and let me know if you can help.
Thank you to all that replied to my email about the wreath count. Looks like we're going to have a great fund-raiser here.
If you still need to email me about how many you've sold or how many you think you will sell, I will be checking my mail up until 9pm tonight. I am calling the distributor early in the morning with a final.
Thanks again.
Just an update. Orders on the Holiday blocks can be made at any time, we can turn them around in about a week.
Also if you have a special request for a block that is not geared toward the holiday we have many ribbon that can be for year round use or for other direction people may want. You can call or email me with any questions.
We will have a large supply ready for sale at the Santa breakfast and the winter concert. The donation for the blocks sold at these events (that are not a specified sale for a student) will go to the uniform fund. Thank you for your support.
I need a quick count from all of you that have sold wreaths for the fund raiser. Just send me a note to let me know how many you have sold so far. I need this information by tomorrow please! Also, if you haven't sold any as yet but anticipate doing so, let me know your best guestimate as to how many you think you will sell.
I really need this information to relay to the distributor as a heads up in case he needs to provide us with more than originally expected.
Last call to send in pictures for the 2009 Band DVD! All pictures are welcome! Please send them in as soon as possible (preferably by Friday November 13th) The sooner we get pictures, the sooner Alex and I can begin working on it! Some pictures we could use (although all are welcome!) are...
Competitions Behind the Scenes (fundraisers, such as keys games, Halloween carnival) Football Games (marching, stands, pre-game, 3rd quarter food time?) Practices Seniors Homecoming Parade
Email tjbanddvd@... with no more than 10 images. If you would like to contribute more than 10 images, please send them in with your child to give to either Alex Nearey or I on a CD. If you bring a CD please write your name on the disk, we would like to be able to give everybody who sends in images credit. Thank you!
Thank you so much for helping make the Band DVD possible!
Due to recording space issues, we will be postponing the recording session. I
will let everyone know when we are able to reschedule. (Please pass this along
to anyone that may not check their e-mail before tonight).
I will still be showing the Championships performance at 7:30 so if there are
any students interested in coming to watch the video and chat about the show
please come by at that time.
Parents, there is a booster meeting beginning at 7:00 so feel free to just bring
your students along.
The indoor meeting will begin at approximately 8:00 or as soon as the booster
meeting is over.
Thanks!

Last Saturday the trip committee met with Mike Copen (our trip consultant) regarding the Disney Trip.
We all came away from it very excited about the trip and we are moving forward full steam ahead.
MOST IMPORTANTLY - I have had some late arriving reservations. Please remember the reservation deadline was 11/3/09. I am going to sign a room contract on Thursday 11/12/09. We have to do this to insure we get the block of rooms that we have on hold.
If I do not have your $200 non-refundable deposit AND your student reservation form by TOMORROW Wednesday 11/11/09.... YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DISNEY WORLD !!
I know that I am coming across as uncharacteristically harsh, however I don't want to under sell the importance of getting your reservation form and money. I think most of you know me as a nice guy. After tomorrow however, my hands will be tied and you will not be coming with us.
Also, there are a few things that need to be clarified:
1. The $25 per day meal card applies to the students only. That is why although they are staying 4 to a room that their cost is higher than the chaperones. The cost is also indicative of the parade and Instrumental workshop they they are doing and the rest of us are not.
2. Although we will be attending "Illuminations" at Epcot the dinner there was at capacity for this time of year and thus that is off of the agenda.
3. We have added a day at either Disney's Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach. Perhaps we'll let the students vote on which.
4. We have locked in the pricing including airfare: It is as follows:
Students - $1016/person four to a room
Chaperones - $950/person two to a room
Friends and Family as follows:
Four to a room - $757 / person
Three to a room - $817 / person
Two to a room - $950 / person
One to a room - $1297/ person
Alright, this email is long enough now. There will be more information in the coming days. I will, of course, be at the booster meeting tomorrow. Feel free to attend and talk to me about the trip there.
Hi All! Just a quick reminder that we have a general Booster meeting tomorrow evening (11/11/09) at 7:00. Please make plans to attend. The trip committee met on Saturday evening and we have more concrete information regarding the trip. There will also be a yes/no survey regarding the Ovations fundraiser and whether or not this is something the organization wants to pursue again. Our trusty treasurer, Jen, will have information for us regarding the monies earned from Ovations this past season. Lots of good stuff on the agenda, and of course Mike's top 10 list. See you all there!
Hello.. I hope there are a few extra holiday fundraiser fliers, which could somehow make their way to the band room... I cannot rely on my computer 100 percent of the time, and do not own a printer... ..yes, I am primitive. However, we'd like to try this fundraiser, and only have the flier for wreathes (and no one had a picture - too bad - maybe next year?)... Alex will look again in case he just didn't see the stack of correct papers, but in case there aren't any, we'd really appreciate someones' efforts to get a few to the band room again.... ..Thanks alot, everyone....! ...Janet Sharman
