NYC Attendees:
Just a few notes: A sign up for rooms will be posted this week for Freshman attendees. Please choose your roommates by this Friday!
The final cost of the trip will be $743 (Instead of $750!). Your third and final payment will be due Monday, February 20th. It is imperative to get the final payments in on time. We must pay the tour company ASAP and it takes me a couple of days to process everyone's payments. Thank you in advance for getting those payments in on time or earlier (if you can!).
If you have paid in full already, I will work on getting you a refund when I turn in the last payments to the school.

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.
