COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Chaperones: Deana Striklin – Deana reminded parents that it is critical to ensure you are able to really chaperone when you sign up. While she understands sometimes things happen, need to try and reduce the number of last minute cancelations. In an effort to streamline communication during a chaperoned activity, Deana will be communicating directly with the directors. She can then update chaperones as needed via GROUPME. Chaperones will now be meeting in the percussion room. There will be a need for chaperones for the Haunted House activity to take place on Saturday, October 22. Keep an eye out for SIGNUPGENIUS if you are interested.

Sponsorship – Working on obtaining the official sponsor list for the district so we know whom we are not allowed to call on. A solicitation letter is being drafted and will be shared soon.

Flags: Scott O’Neil – Nothing at this time

Feed The Band: Julie Wood – Money due for the next game. Other opportunities will be upcoming contests.

NEW BUSINESS

8th Grade Night – Overall went well, but will ensure that there are different volunteers to help with hosting the 8th graders versus the chaperones for the game.

Band Directors Report – Reminded parents that they would not be responsible for Mums brought into stands at Homecoming Game. Discussed Lone Star Preview details and thought we would be a late time slot for UIL too. Mr. Rugila updated the parents with the recent restrictions placed on the band students due to many areas of concern in behavior. They will reinstate privileges when they see the students improving. He asked that students where white shirts to rehearsal as it helps with placement notifications.
