To help defray some of the costs of the band/choir trip there are some optional fundraisers to lighten the financial load.
Frozen food and Nordic Ware sales will begin in October.
Fruit and Pie or Coffee sales will take place in November.
Booster Board Positions Open:
* President Elect (1 year, with a commitment to be President the following year)

OTHER MUSIC NOTES-
Choir News:
The choir was one of three choirs invited to perform at the University of Minnesota – Morris on January 29th.
The choir is one of 4 choirs selected to perform a 25-minute concert at Central Lutheran Church on Thursday, February 11 for MMEA! They will likely need some funds for color programs.
Tri-M:
Accepting applications in September and having an induction.
New Names for Band:
The bands will still be the same, but will carry different names. You may notice the change in the concert program or on your student’s class schedule.
1) Wind Ensemble
2) Symphonic Band
3) Concert Band
NEW BUSINESS:
Grants: We will need to seek grants to help fund marching band uniforms and choir folders and robes. Ross will check the due dates of the following grants then proceed to contact resources willing to help write them.
* Burich – I have the form and Tania Krueger is willing to help fill it out.
* Paul from Vison busing
* Paul Thompson - United Way – Forms will be sent to me in February.
* Emmett McCormick
* Citizens Bank
* Stearns Foundation
* Family Drug
* Jaycees
* Hochsprung Family (Terry and Joyce)
* ISD 423 Foundation * Southwest Minnesta Arts Council (SMAC) – Tim Wirt (320-587-2599)
* Walmart
* Hutchinson Community Foundation / SWIF
Bylaws:
We need to double-check or update the bylaws to ensure that (as the treasury of the band boosters and choir boosters has combined) there are enough funds appropriated to the maintenance and functioning of the marching band. (as was the original purpose of the concession stands).
Next Music Booster Meeting November 2 @ 7p.m. in the band room.
