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.

FMB Update 7/12/17

Here's all the news before we begin the 2017 season:

1.  Please study the calendar of events.  All rehearsals and performances are required unless excused in advance in case of wedding, funeral, military duty, or as soon as possible in case of personal illness. Babysitting, no ride, sibling commitment, or parent commitment are not excused absences. Please arrange your schedule so you can make it to all events.  Members participating in other school sponsored activities will need to get me your practice/game schedule as soon as it is available so modifications can be made.  You can always see the calendar online.

2.  I will once again be paying for summer uniform polos for rookie band members.  Work on filling out your summer uniform with a pair of all-black athletic shorts, white socks, and white-ish tennis shoes.  Please do not buy a new pair of shoes if you have anything that is not completely black.  I am very reasonable about summer uniform shoes. I will get…
