August 30 Post-Game Party
|
The first Senior Party of the season will take place this Friday night (8/30) after the football game. All current Marching Band members are invited. These parties are chaperoned by band
parents and are a safe, fun way for the kids to socialize after a home game.
|
The party will be hosted by the Todys family at their home (1683 Gray Fox Tr, Milford). Street parking is limited, so carpooling is encouraged. The party will start after the students are dismissed following the game, and will conclude at midnight. Please bring party items as follows:
|
- Seniors: Bring pop or water.
- Color Guard seniors: Bring plates, napkins and cups.
- Juniors: Bring salty snacks.
- Sophomores: Bring a side dish or snack.
- Freshmen: Bring desserts or marshmallows.

Oct 4 Party Hosts
|
|
We are still looking for senior parent hosts for the October 4 band party! Hosts provide the main course and then ask for specific donations for the evening. If you are available to host, please contact Julie Ford ([email protected]) to let her know how many chaperones you will need and what donations you are requesting. Julie will manage the sign-up for donations.

Cookie Donations
|
|
Following their halftime performance at each home football game, the Band and Guard celebrate with cookies and drinks in the end zone. We rely on the generosity of our band families to provide these snacks. Donations of prepackaged cookie can be left with a director or in the cookie bin, which is located in the uniform closet (look for the yellow lid). Cookies such as sugar, chocolate chip, Fig Newtons, etc. are great options. Please avoid cookies with lots of chocolate, as they will melt.

Sign up to help serve cookies and drinks after the Band's halftime performances at home football games. Two volunteers needed per game. Instructions available on the SignupGenius page.

|
For the past few years, the School Store has been the Band programs' biggest money maker, and we need lots of help to make it happen again this year. Rhonda Friedland and Jody Morgan will train you and work with you until you are comfortable on your own.

Help sell spirit wear at the home football games. Set up about an hour before kickoff and pack it all up in the 3rd quarter. You will get into the game free and you will get to see the band perform at halftime.
