Fundraiser: K.I.S.S. Candles
Today, the Fivay High School Band Program began it’s K.I.S.S. (Keep it Simply Soy) Candle fundraiser. Every candle being sold costs $12.00 and comes in 18 different scents. Every candle is made from soy, burns for 65 hours or more, and the profit goes directly into your student band accounts. For every candle sold, $5.00 will be placed in your student account, that can be used to purchase supplies (reeds, oil, grease, etc…), band shoes, band shirt, your Lakeside Jazz trip, band banquet, etc… The money can even be applied towards your costs for next school year. Remember, this fundraiser is only as successful as you make it!
This fundraiser will close on March 4, 2011. All money and order forms need to be returned on or by March 4, 2011.
Lakeside Jazz Festival Information
The Fivay High School Jazz Ensemble has been tentatively approved to attend and perform at the Lakeside Jazz Festival, which takes place in Port Orange, FL. Our trip has been approved thus far, and is currently pending approval from the Pasco County School Board (on February 15, 2011). That being said, we have been given permission to start accepting money to pay for our trip. The trip cost will be $100.00 per person (including chaperones). This cost is used to cover our hotel, transportation, festival entry fee, etc…. Please, make every effort to have this paid by April 1, 2011. You can pay it in full, in monthly payments, or through our upcoming fundraiser (which begins on February 22, 2011). As we get closer to our trip, there will be a trip meeting to go over the trip handbook and to answer any questions.
Band Booster Meeting
Tomorrow night, is supposed to be our first Band Booster meeting. It has come to my attention, that there is also an FBA Band Director meeting at the same time. I have to be at the FBA meeting to vote on behalf of our students for things like upcoming festivals, performances, and more. So, we have to postpone our Booster meeting. I apologize for the short notice, but I don’t have much of a choice on the matter. Instead of having our meeting on Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at 6:00 p.m., we will instead have it Thursday, November 18, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. This meeting will begin immediately following the Jazz Rehearsal (2:00-3:30) and the Winterguard Rehearsal (4:30-6:00). Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
The meeting’s minutes will be posted on the booster section of our band website, if you can’t make the meeting.
Fundraiser: Indian River Groves Fruit
Starting today, we will be beginning our newest fundraiser. We have partnered with Florida Indian River Groves to sell grapefruit, tangelos, and more… Any sales your student makes will be deposited directly into their individual student accounts, to help pay for supplies, trips, etc… The primary products we will be selling and it’s prices are as follows (more detailed lists are on the seller website):
