Savanna Band & Colorguard
Savanna High School Mighty Marching Rebels
Anaheim, California
Car Wash - Our Car Wash is one of our "Everyone Helps" fundraisers!  On Saturday September 18th the
students will be washing cars at several locations to help raise funds for our Band and Colorguard!
ALL Students
sign up to work in class - they sign up for one of the locations and either a morning or afternoon shift.  Please note
that this is an "all" group fundraiser as all the students are expected to work at least one shift (if they can not work
that day they must check ahead with Mr. Belski).  All cash sales that day go to the general fund.

Car Wash Pre-sale Student Fundraiser:  While sales during the car wash go to the general fund, students can get
Pre-sale tickets to sell before the event and share 50-50 with the band.  Tickets are $5 for autos and half the
student sales (and turned in by the 16th) are credited to their student account.  So sell 10 tickets to friends and
family for $50, and earn $25 toward the student's account.

Participation Credits:  Our group fundraisers are very important to the financial health of our organization, these
help keep our participation fees low.  However, for things like the car wash - while the students do the work washing
cars - we need parent help to collect money, help keep students on task, and manage the day.  Since these jobs
are really important, we do offer "Participation Credits" to those adults that sign up and come out and help.  For
general events (like the car wash), students can receive a $50 credit to their account for having an adult come help
at two events.  So sign up to help and be half way to a $50 credit!

Only one General Credit per student per year, however, many parents have multiple students in the program and you can work on
multiple credits.  Note that per credit it is working two events, and two parents at one event does not count as the full credit.


Parent Meeting
 Next parent meeting is at 7PM on Thursday, September 9th.  Note only do you hear from Mr.
Belski, but meet a lot of other parents and learn what is going on in the program.  It is difficult to write all the
questions and answers, come out and ask in person!  

Sign Ups:  Yes, we need help!  Parent meetings are the easiest place to come out and find out where we need help
next and what you can do.  This month especially we will be signing up for help at 1) Car Wash, 2) Football Game /
Tournament help, and 3) start talking about all the help needed at our hosted Field Show tournament in November.


Football Performance Notes
- First Performance Friday Sept. 10th.
Our first football performance is our home game against Loara.  Just a couple general notes about football
performances for those who have never been.

 - Yes, we perform the half time show for all home games, including any post season / CIF games that Savanna    
plays host in.  Only exception is usually homecoming where the "court" is presented at halftime.
 - Call Time: That is the time that the students are to be at school and ready to go.  Don't show up at call time, drop
your student off about 15 minutes before.
 - Football games are run by Savanna - their is an entry fee even if you only want to see the half time performance.
 - Games usually start at 7PM, and call time is usually at 5PM.  Band and Colorguard are bussed to the game.
Students stay the whole game (and perform the Alma mater afterwards with the team).  Release time is usually
usually around 11PM (games vary in length).  Also, upon arrival back at the school students need to change out of
their uniform and put away their equipment - so don't expect them to leave right as they return - it can take 30 to 45
minutes.
 - Please pick up your students promptly.  Mr. Belski and at least one parent stay until they are all gone.

Booster Board Meeting
 Next meeting is Sept 2nd.  Come at 6:30 PM, many people bring a sandwich or
light dinner - so not sure how to help? Come on out and listen and learn.

Fall Tournament Sponsorship and Advertisement Plans released!
Our major event of the fall is our Field Show Tournament.  You can read more about it on our "Field Tournament"
pages, However, a major part of our event is a cooperative student fund raiser / sponsor program.  Under this plan,
Sponsors and advertisers can participate in several ways.  

- Advertisers can place ads in our program for as little as $25 for a business card sized ad, or larger ads for more.  
Students who sell the ads receive ONE HALF of the ad cost applied to their student account!
- Sponsorships start at $500 and go up to the Chairman's Community Partner for $2,500 - student account credits
for selling these range from $200 to $500!

These ads and sponsorships are a great cooperative effort - the sponsors receive recognition from not only our
group but also in front of the thousands who attend that day.  The band receives funds that we use to support our
students with equipment and coaches (and more!).  And finally, the students earn credits to pay down their student
accounts (as you can see, a student selling multiple ads could pay off their whole account!).

2009 SCSBOA CHAMPIONSHIPS: 1st PLACE!

CHAMPIONSHIP PICTURES HERE  


Want to document you student's championship season?  Remember the performances from our
Tournament and the Loara Tournament?  Those were documented by the same photographer -
click here - and you can order specific photos if you find one you like.  Creative Photography
by Linda
is not related to us, but we offer the link as a service!  She also goes back at least a
year so search around and see what you find.



NEWSLETTERS:  For the most part, hard copy newsletters will be "leaner" and "greener" -
meaning we will be limiting them.  They will be brief on the key upcoming events and needs,
and include info on any newsworthy stories.  We will be posting more in depth information
here on the website.  This will be more timely (we can up date this website hourly as things
change, if we need to), greener - environmental friendly (less paper), and save some mailing
costs.  However, we kept some of the old files (see below) so you can see what happened then
- and it will give you a snapshot of a typical band and colorguard year - feel free to download
and browse!
