Booster Update From President Mike

Fellow Music Parents,

I hope everyone's summer is off to a great start!  

For those of you that don't know me I am the new president of the Music Boosters, taking over from Chris Retterer.  Chris did an amazing job and she'll be a tough act to follow.  

I wanted to take a brief moment to update you on a couple things:
  • June Booster Meeting - the next meeting is tomorrow night, Tuesday, 6/9 at 7pm in the Band Room.  Meetings tend to run 45 minutes to an hour.  All are welcome.
  • Band Camp Payments - Emails will be going out to each student/family by the end of June to confirm your remaining balance due at Band Camp check-in.  Band camp scholarship amounts will be communicated directly to awarded students at the same time.
  • New Booster Officers - The officers for the upcoming school year were solidified at our last meeting.  They are:  Chuck and Cindy White (Vice Presidents), Bob Rhoades (Treasurer), and Michelle Fox (Secretary - 2nd year).  A huge thank you to our outgoing officers...Chris Retterer (President) and Mark Whatley (Vice President).
  • Booster support this past year / what's coming this school year - Before school resumes, I will provide more information on what we do for the music program and what the we're thinking for the upcoming school year.  We do a lot of great stuff and there are lots of opportunities to make a difference for Fairbanks.
If you have any questions, concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Thanks,
-Mike.

12/18 Concert Is On As Planned....

ADAPT TO CHANGE :)
You may have already heard, but Fairbanks Middle School will not have classes on Monday, December 18 and Tuesday, December 19 due to the fact that there is no heat in the building. FES and FHS will have classes as regularly scheduled.

The December 18 Holiday Concert will progress as planned. JHCB and 6th Grade Band will obviously not have dress rehearsals.  6th grade band members (and FHSCB helpers) are to be in their seats in the gym at 6:55pm to warm up.  FHSCB and JHCB members are to be in their seats with families at 7pm and ready to watch the 6th grade band.

MS band members - I know that we will not get a chance to rehearse in the gym, but we will be fine if you rely on your training and trust the rehearsal process. Let's make music to the best of our abilities, despite missing these last two rehearsals. I have no doubt you will be successful.

The 6th grade band reward pizza party will be rescheduled for January. The 5th grade party will take place on Monda…
