BAND BOOSTER UPDATE: A Band Booster meeting was held on Tuesday, 1/27/09. Here's the scoop.

Band Camp: Dates for band camp are August 10-14, 2009. If there are any nurses among are band parents that would be willing to attend band camp, please let me or Mr. Smigell know ASAP.

LIVINGSTON HOME SHOW FUNDRAISER: Thanks to Mrs. Donovan and the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, the Band Boosters have been given the opportunity to run the concession stand at the Livingston Home Show scheduled for March 27 -29, 2009. All the proceeds from the concession stand will go directly to the Band Boosters. We'll need lots of parent & student involvement to run the concession stand effectively. We'd like two parents and four students for each shift (we're anticipating 2-3 hour shifts). A band Booster meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, February 10th at 7:00 p.m. to finalize the menu and work schedules for the Home Show. We need your help. . . .please let me know ASAP if you're able to work at the concession stand.

More to come. . . ... ..
