CBHS Band Family Volunteers Needed

Wow!! What a year this is going to be. I was able to see some of the hard work all the marching band/color guard students did today at their first practice for the 2007-2008 school year.

Welllllll (heavy sigh), since our children are working hard....it is now for us to join in the efforts of making this a great band family, school year and most rewarding time.

First, we are asking for some help this weekend.This Saturday, Aug 4th @ 9:00 a.m., we need some help at the school (CBHS).As CBHS is preparing to receive this year's students and new building improvements being completed, we are getting ready to move back into CBHS Band Room. In this preparation we need to put up some shelves and uniform hanging rods in the uniform storage room located in the back of the band room.

Also, we need some "hands on" to handle the marching band carts. We will be removing the wheels, relocating the carts so that space can be utilized to the max. These carts are heavy and it is best to have at least 5 to 6 adults handling them, less strain on everyone.
So, with that said, if there is anyone who can and willing to give us a hand this Saturday, Aug 4th @ 9:00 a.m. for just a few hours, please contact myself via e-mail Dale1stSgt@aol.com, or call me at: 431-8843. Also, please "cc" Rick Hester, President of the Boosters at: SKYLAB317@aol.com , just as a backup.

My understanding as of right now Dale Mosher, Jerry Walz and myself will be there. So, please, help!! As I said above, our children are working long hours in the hot sun with wild bugs putting together a dynamic show. Not only are we supporting our children; however, we are providing assistance to the CBHS Band Director, Mr. Brooker (who has worked all summer long preparing for marching band season, while most were on summer vacation from school). Let's get behind his efforts! We need volunteers in various areas.

Here are some more specific ways you can help (please respond letting me know where you want help):
1. During marching band camp, need adult chaperones/assistants.
2. I know we have the most talented families, please let me know if you are interested in building props, welders, painters, artists, engineer moving/mechanical props, etc...or just want to be a part of it and can lend a helping hand. We are trying to build a little data base of those who have expressed a desire to be involved with their children's band experience. We understand everyone has unique and busy schedules, if you are willing, we can most of the time work around those times. We just appreciate your involvement.Okay, I know this was lengthy; but, needed to get some of that info out.

Last reminder, this Saturday, Aug 4th @ 9:00 a.m. and band camp assistants.

Have a great weekend!
