Hutchinson Music Boosters Minutes
August 10, 2015 @ 7:00 pm
Marching Band:
Water Carnival Parade (Marching Band Festival): This event went well! There are some minor tweaks for next year, like keeping the busses at the school a bit longer. Overall, there were positive comments and reactions. Although there were concessions available for the students after they performed, few people purchased anything.
Congratulations to the Tiger Marching Band for a Class AA First Place Finish in the Vikingland Band Festival (It’s like State!!!)! Way to bring home the medal! We are proud of your accomplishments!
Concession Committee: Ruth Fisher will order concessions for the Fall Football season.
We are seeking alternate storage space (i.e., green storage shed) for the concession equipment to clear out the practice rooms so the students may use the rooms to practice and test.
Ross plans to update the concession stand with shelving units for more efficient operations and storage.
Volunteer Spot- Online Volunteer Sign-up: Ross Jurek has collected many contacts to date and the system is working well. If anyone is interested in social media and would like to update and maintain this system and other communications, we would appreciate your input. Contact Ross Jurek.at [email protected]
