Little Caesar Pizza Kits As you get this newsletter all order forms for the Little Caesar Pizza Kits should have been turned in to the band room (they were due on Monday, December 2, 2002). Volunteers are now needed to help with the pick-up and delivery scheduled to start at 1:00pm on Tuesday, December 17, 2002 in the band room. If you would like to volunteer your time or have any questions, contact Diane Wensink at 419-669-2538. Thanks Thank you to ALL the parents that donated food and time towards the Symphonic Band Retreat weekend. Feeding ninety students/teachers four meals and unending snacks was accomplished by your support. The evening meal at the Gardner/Cooms home was a welcome respite for a "home cooked" meal. It was an eventful weekend for the musicians, and I thank you for your continued work for the band.

Cleveland OMEA Trip The Symphonic Band has been invited to perform at the OMEA Conference in Cleveland, Ohio on Friday, January 24, 2003. This is a great opportunity for the band and puts our whole program in the spot light. Planning and preparations are already underway, but there are still many “loose-ends” yet to be taken care of. More information on this trip will be forthcoming as it becomes available. It would be helpful to have a large audience in attendance, so please mark your calendars and be there to show your support. Benefit Concert A Benefit Concert has been planned for Saturday, January 11, 2003 to give the Symphonic Band a chance to perform their program in public prior to the OMEA Conference in Cleveland. As of this newsletter the concert is planned to be held at Kobacker Hall in the BGSU Moore Musical Arts Center. Seating will be limited and advance ticket sales are currently available from any member of the Symphonic Band. Congratulations We would like wish our Student Teachers "Congrats" on their impending graduations. As of this time, Heather Graves is slated to be Mrs. Metzger's sub for elementary band and general music while Jennifer is on maternity leave, and Brad Hruska will take over her pep band duties. Kroger and Meijer Gift Certificates For those of you who shop at either Kroger or Meijer on a regular basis, why not do it with a gift certificate? This helps out the band and doesn’t cost you anything extra. Here’s how it works: You purchase one or more gift certificates for $25 each, and use them at any Kroger or Meijer store just like regular money. You’re not out anything and the band earns 5% off of each certificate sold. Everybody wins. Certificates are available at the Deutschman residence, 911 N. Wintergarden Rd, at the following schedule for the Holidays:
Saturdays, 10:00-11:00 am Please note that Certificates will not be available on Christmas Day or New Years Day. For you hardy shoppers, however, we have added two special days to take their place:
Thursday, Jan 2, 6:30-7:30 pm This is an easy fundraiser. All it takes is a little advance planning to buy certificates before you shop. So start now and get a supply on hand. New Policies for Band Store In an effort to reduce the amount of money owed to the band store and encourage a timely settlement of student accounts, a new set of rules has been approved by the Band Executive Board concerning band store charges. As of September 25, 2002 the following rules have been instituted:
Symphonic Band Symphonic band members should have turned in their $100 for the Cleveland trip. If you have not done so already so, please turn in your money ASAP. Fundraising to offset your costs will continue until January 13, 2003. Band Web Site The band web site (home.dacor.net/bghsband) is being updated with new photos for the 2002-2003 school year.
