DATES TO REMEMBER:
Nov 20 Final Tournament Meeting for all
Nov 21THE Tournament Set up day
Nov 22 THE TOURNAMENT
Nov 23 THE Tournament Clean up day
Bands of America Tournament - A lot of smiles for making it to the Finals!!!
NEW DRUMS ARRIVE! Everyone asks "What do those fees" and fund raising dollars go to? Well, they do a lot of
things, but the past few years they have gone partly to a lot of new equipment for the band to field - and in October
some new pieces hit the field because of all of you that keep those fees current and help with fundraising - I am
talking about the new drums! Thats right, a new marching set of Pearls hit the field this past week (yes, we did get
bass drums too, but they are on back order and will be here shortly). The sound is great and they help a lot.
Thanks to all the parents and boosters!
THE Tournament a red letter day! November 22nd
Yes, "THE" Tournament is the tournament we host. It means lots of work, time, and effort. But it always ends up well
worth it! At the end of it I am dead tired ... but always satisfied that we put on a great event. Here are some things
you need to know about it:
Volunteers – we still need lots of help! This is a day where we need everyone to help out with at least one shift,
more if you can. Volunteers are so important that each student account will receive a $75 credit when an adult
volunteers to help in their name at the tournament (limit of one $75 credit per student account).
If you can help or help more, send a note to Tournament@savannaband.com or call Gladis at 714-269-8517 for
details. There are three shifts to pick from! Alumni … how about taking a shift?!!! You can also get some more
information on the volunteer page.
Note – like last year, there is a volunteer raffle for those working extra shifts – it includes many things but also
Knott's and Disney tickets!
Student Shifts – All students work one of two shifts that day. Sign ups are conducted in class with Mr. Belski.
Student Donations – we ask each student to help by bringing two things:
1) a 24 pack of soda (we assign types by section - see list below). Bring them to the school the week before the
tournament.
2) bring a dozen “large” brownies on the day of the tournament. (Make a 9 X 13 pan and cut it into a dozen large
pieces. Each piece should be individually wrapped in clear plastic wrap).
General Donations - It is not too late to also contribute donations of food, services items, and more. See our
donation list of needs click here. We also need some big things like RV's (self contained are the best - we use them
to serve as the bank, first aide, respite, etc.), golf cart/gator/quads (it is a long way from the south end of the
stadium to the north end of the parking lot!), propane, large hospitality tents/pop ups ... and I am sure more. Note
we buy a lot of items from Northgate Market, Smart & Final, and Home Depot - so if you don't know anything else
and have some extra gift card around, we can use them! Questions ... send us a note
Set up and Clean up – not only on Tournament day, but before and after there is a lot of work to do. On Friday
we meet, have breakfast, and then split up – some buying food, others get supplies and rental equipment, and most
of us help load up the trucks! Meet at 8am at Norm’s on Brookhurst. Then on Sunday it all has to be put away (and
some things taken home and cleaned). Join us at 10am at the school.
BE AT THE PARENT MEETING ON NOVEMBER 13th FOR MORE INFORMATION!
NEWSLETTERS: For the most part, hard copy newsletters will be "leaner" and "greener" - meaning we will be
limiting them to 2 or 4 pages. 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. Still, we do need to remind folks of things, so all the paper wont go away! Just look here
more often.
As usual, if you have comments or info, please send a note to boosters@savannaband.com , do not respond to this email
address.
-------- 2008-2009 Summary -------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 2008
CAR WASH
Our first car wash is complete ... we collected $806 from Cash sales at the three sites (btw: Albertson's site was the
BIG winner here). In addition, we had about 150 in pre-ticket's (remember, non-turned in tickets will be charged to
the student's account). Pre-sales are 50-50 - meaning for each ticket half goes to the band and half goes to the
student account. Well, so we made over $1200 at the Car Wash - YEA!
October 2008
The Cows were here!
The cows came and selected the winners! Thank you to everyone that helped. Did you know that again this year
one of the winners was an alternate winner? That means that the selected spot was an UNSOLD spot, so we go into
an alternate selection method (one square north, and then spiral out). That means that SOMEONE that did not sell
there ticket and gave a lot of money away. Oh well ... that is the breaks!
By the way ... the selection process was done in record time ... all three selections were complete in 45 minutes!
That is a record! Sorry if you missed it.
New Drums Arrive Is that a “new” drumline? Yes, thanks to the boosters and all your support through fundraising
and keeping current on student fees, we were able to purchase a new set of Pearl Drums. They sound is GREAT!
