∆ There are currently 11 volunteers, which is adequate, but more are certainly welcome!

Director’s Report:
J. Gibbons: --NTP
P. Parrish: --NTP
G. Ashton: --NTP
A. O’Brien: The color guard is rehearsing three times a week and currently has 19 to 20 people signed up. They Band Boosters approved the purchase of 6 to 7 new uniforms for the color guard and agreed that a mix of colors, ie., green and purple, would be excellent.
SPECIAL NOTES
§ They are still looking for chaperones for Marching Band Camp! If parents don’t volunteer, recent alumni may be brought in (thought that might scare you into volunteering).
§ A special thank you to Joan Kozachik, who donated $1000 to the Band Boosters. Thank you! It will probably be used for scholarships to camp or to Disney World, but has not been determined yet.
§ We are looking for a sponsor to donate or purchase high-quality garment bags (preferably with OHS MARCHING BAND stenciled on them with an advertiser’s logo) for the Marching Band to use.
§ An alternate supplier for Marching Band shoes has been found. For more information, contact: Lori Bosetti, Loriebeast@aol.com.
§IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: The Disney World Trip is available to any interested band members willing to don the marching band uniform and march in the parade. You do not have to be in the Marching Band to be eligible! But in order to go, you have to sign up for it!!!
All members of the Marching Band who have not yet signed up for the Orland Disney World Trip in April 2009 are strongly encouraged to sign up.
