Executive Band Board The BG Executive Band Board is in the process of nominating parents of current freshmen to fill four positions that will be vacated by the senior parents. All parents of freshmen band members (whose son or daughter will continue with the Bobcat Band during the 2001 – 2002 school year) are eligible to be nominated. Band parents that would like to nominate themselves or other band parents should call: Dale Abell at 352-2292 before March 15, 2001 Between mid March and mid-April, current board members will contact all nominees to explain the election process and duties of members of the Bobcat Band Boosters Executive Board. We will vote for new members at the April board meeting and newly elected board members will be introduced at the Band Banquet in May.
Members of the Executive Board organize and implement various Bobcat Band activities
Members serve three-year terms. There are 12 members of the board, who represent 12 different families. Members may be either a couple or an individual (one vote per family, however). Monthly meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (including summer). The new members’ terms begin at the June meeting. The board is not all work, however. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet some enthusiastic and fun people who share a common goal – to make our children’s Bobcat Band experience the best it can be. Thanks for considering this opportunity. Please call Dale Abell at 352-2292 if you have questions about board activities. District Band Contest The District Band Contest @ Southview High School is scheduled for March 9th and 10th. Check the schedule below to determine which day and time your child's band is performing. Spectators are welcome, and encouraged, to show support for the bands. Plan to attend if at all possible.

Attention: All Paris Chaperones The Executive Band Board would like to invite all Paris chaperones to attend a one-hour meeting to evaluate the Paris trip.

Please plan to attend. Your input will help improve the next trip. More Paris Trip Thanks

New Student Teachers Hello! My name is GRAHAM RAULERSON, and I'm student teaching with the BGHS Bands this semester. I grew up in Decorah, Iowa and came to Bowling Green State University to study music education. Although I'm a horn player, I'm enjoying working with all kinds of students. I want to meet as many of you as I can so that I might better serve the program and students. If you run into me, please introduce yourself. I look forward to seeing you at the next band function! "Hello! My name is KATIE HALLER!" I am currently a BGSU student teacher from Dayton. Although my main focuses have been music education and the trombone, I have a minor in English education. Because of this, I will be certified to teach both music and English. I look forward to opportunities to meet you as I work with the band students, so feel free to introduce yourselves to me at the next band event.

Uniforms, Chaperones, Communications, and Recognition Banquet, as well as additional

Abell for all the time they spent taking photos during the Paris trip. Not only
did they use their time to take the pictures, but also to track down the names of
students, write captions and transmit them to Jay, our website designer. In
addition, thanks go to DorothyAnne Strange and Peg McClanahan for providing
additional photo coverage after returning home. (Anyone interested in posting
their pictures on the website can do so by contacting Peg McClanahan @ 354-3451

20-quarter lb. patties/box and each box is only $15. (That's only $3/lb for ready-made
patties that come from high quality local pork.) Call Lisa or Scott Shuler (353-7475)
to make arrangements to pick up your box(es). These are great to keep in the freezer
and to have on hand when spring roles around and you want to use the grill.
