Marching Band DVD - One Last Opportunity

I have sold out of the DVDs. I can order more DVDs, *but* the minimum order size is 25. I am willing to order these additional DVDs with the following caveats: You must prepay by check (no cash), $10 per DVD, made out to Amador Friends of Music, and you must pick up the DVD from my home. I am attending the Spring Banquet, you can place your order with me at that time. If I do not get enough orders to reach the minimum requirement of 25 DVDs, I will return or destroy all checks that I receive during the Banquet. Thank you.
yearbook image Band Yearbooks!
Yes, it is that time of year again. We are putting together a great band yearbook. It is a little summary of our year that tries hard to feature every student in band. It will be $30.00 and you must preorder them this year. Payment is due to Mr. Grantham no later than the 7th of June. We will not be placing a second order this year. The only way to purchase one is to place an order with cash or check (to the order of Amador Band Council) by the 7th. The 2005/2006 band yearbook will be available to look at in the band room this week.
Amador Band/Colorguard Parents-
Summer Fundraising Opportunities!
Cecelia Melby
piggy bank
Join fellow Band/Color Guard Parents this summer and raise funds for your student's account!
Last season at the Concord Pavilion we had over 57 volunteer opportunities averaging $90 per parent/event. These earnings go directly into your student's account. This year's season kicked off last week and we are gearing up for a great summer. Concord has 11 events already scheduled through September, and we need Parent volunteers to work. We support the Corona Beer Hut - selling beer, sodas and water. We have the entire booth to ourselves and are completely responsible for the inventory, sales and cash receipts. At the end of the event, approximately 7% of the booth sales are turned into student account funds. A team lead is trained and appointed for each event to make sure that all of the accounting is taken care of properly.
What is involved?
Volunteers must attend a mandatory training at the Pavilion called TIP's training, which certifies you to work in our booth selling alcohol.
The next training date is Thursday, June 6th at the Pavilion! In addition, a short on-line training program is required which covers the basics of good customer service.
Interested?
Attend training on June 6th at 6PM - and contact Cecilia Melby to secure a spot at a future concert (and the link to the on-line training). The TIP's training at Concord is held in a "bar" area that is underneath the main stage. Tim Dickert is the trainer who leads the 3 hour class and certifies each employee.
If you have any questions at all, please send me an email at Cecilia.Melby@Clorox.com.
