Quite a few announcements!
Pasta fundraiser started again. Forms are in the band room. Please turn in on Jan. 31, 2012. This is a quick, short one mostly for those that asked us to repeat.
Spirit Cups were due today. I honestly can't pick them up until Monday morning, so a tiny extension!! Monday morning will be the end though!!
Great fundraising opportunity for March!! Home Show March 23-25, 2012 at the Howell High Field House. We will post sign ups next week. We could really use an extra parent to help that weekend. If you're interested, or not interested, but can help :) please contact me. Christyne MacDermaid 734-476-0312, or christynemacdermaid@yahoo.com. Hopefully we'll have another contact for Home Show soon because I cannot be there this weekend. We want to get it going so the students can make money.
Mark your calendars! The band boosters and students have been given the privilege of selling Pepsi and Ice during the balloonfest this June again. Sign up sheets will be available later in the year.
Senior Slide Show!! Please start getting your photos to Mrs. Bondie, or Katie. There are many ways to do this. Personally handing them to Katie digitally or a physical photo will do. We can send them via email to shannone1@aol.com, or mail to Mrs. Bondie, 1021 Oak Cluster Court, Howell MI 48855. In the past there have been sweet baby pictures that make us cry/laugh at banquet, and then a grown up picture as well. Photos from the whole year are great too! We love to include the year together at banquet and possibly last concert.
Please contact Mrs. MacDermaid (above) w/any questions.

NYC Band Trip Attendees:
I have sent out confirmation emails to everyone attending our NYC trip. If you have not received an email it is most likely because your email address in charms is not correct. Please send an email to me at rl.taylor@comcast.net ONLY if you have not received a confirmation email. Please update your email so I can keep you informed on trip details!
See below for information included in the last email:
The second payment of $250 is due Monday, January 16. Please remember to mail it to HBBA-NYC Trip, P.O. Box 2113, Howell, MI 48844. Checks are to be made out to Howell High Bands NOT HBBA.
If you need to withdraw funds from your Student Account please follow these steps:

Then go to the financial tab. This will show you how much you have available.
To request $ from your account, print out a Student Account Withdrawl form from the handout tab. This can be included with the trip payment.
NOTE: Remember it will take a couple of weeks after a fundraiser to end for your money to be credited.
At the end of January, I will be posting a sheet with room assignments. We need to turn this into the travel company with our February payment. Please start thinking about who you would like to share a four person room with. When the sheet is posted, fill in your request. Mr. Smigell and I will review and make any changes that are needed.

Pasta orders are ready for pick up in the 10-12 band room. They are mostly alphabetical by last name. Please pay close attention for a second box if you have a larger order. Students that have really big orders and will probably need help getting them home are:
Amanda LaVigne, Emily Jordan (yours is all on a small table), Michael Strayer and Kaitlyn Sumner. The boxes are all labeled w/your name!
Rosie Hersh, Crystal Riemel, and Michael Strayer, you are all missing one item and I'll contact the company and get them to you asap.
Carly Rabideau you will most likely have your order shipped directly to your house. I received it late, so we'll do our best to get it to you before xmas break.
Big thank you to the drumline and Cody McDonald for helping me organize the pasta and orders!!
Alyssa Byington, I still have your Little Caeser's Pizza Kits in my freezer. Contact me to pick up please.
I still have Marching Band Hoodies that Mrs. Taylor ordered for Cody Murphy and Britney Winters. I'll bring them w/me to the concert, or give me a call if you'd like them before.
Thanks!
