Background Checks
Is yours valid? If you anticipate volunteering for the band in any capacity, from building props to chaperoning, manning the first aid tent or serving meals...we all need a valid background check on file with the HSE corporation. Please go to the HSE central office, or stop by the FHS office (or call them!) to fill out a new back- ground check form or verify the expiration date of your old one. Thanks!re to add text.
FHS Boosters Capital Campaign
It is time to get serious about money. The FHS Tiger Band is moving into it’s 5th year, and we need to con‐
sider some MAJOR purchases. As the whole program grows, we will need instruments; lots of instruments.
Marching band uniforms are wearing out and will need to be replaced, and we need a safe band tower.
The list goes on… to the tune of about $125,000. Raising this money will require a dedicated group of vol‐
unteers building relationships with local businesses and within the community, and working toward our
goals.
Please consider what you can do to be a part of this team. Can you be part of the campaign committee?
Would your place of work be willing to sponsor our band program? Please contact Vicki Rudell, any board
member or the directors, if you can help.
Fair share fees for 2010/2011 school year. The band boosters will charge a
$25/student fair share fee for the upcoming school year for all students participating in band class.
The “book fees” for band have been dropped from $50 to $25 to offset this. The reasoning behind this
change is to allow greater flexibility in how the money is used. The school district mandates that book fees
are for consumable items only, yet the band directors have a far greater need for instruments to put in
kids’ hands or any number of non-consumable areas. With the money coming to the booster organization,
we have the flexibility to purchase items that are most needed for the program. This fee is to be consid-
ered part of your school fees and will be billed to you through Student Account. It can be paid for through
any of the fundraisers we offer, or by check to FHS Bands.
A Reminder from the Food Committee, to MB Parents...
Please bring your donation of one 24 pack/20 oz bottles of either Powerade or Gatorade to the
booster room! These drinks will be used to hydrate our marchers after competitions.
Also, if you have "an in" with a restaurant, grocery store, or vendor, we would love to talk to you!
Sometimes it's the personal touch that opens the door for us and enables us to get donations of
food and drinks. If you can come and help serve meals, or are willing to prepare the food at home
and bring it to school; if you think you can help in any way, please contact Ann Rodino at 3happy-
hikers@comcast.net or Rebekka Lawson at rlawson@hse.k12.in.us
Thanks for your help and support!
