The pecans are in and will be available for pick up TODAY after school and until the end of drum line rehearsal at 5:30.

Lou will also be available for you to purchase tickets for the Huntsville Havoc game on December 12th. They are $10 each. The band will keep a portion of the ticket sales.

And she will also take orders for the March on Madison DVDs. They are $5.

I have attached the order form for fudge sales. The fudge comes from The Whistle Stop Sweet Shop in Madison. Their fudge is delicious! The orders are due December 1st. We are selling chocolate, chocolate nut, peanut butter and peppermint in one pound boxes (1, 2, or 4 flavors). The price is $13 per pound, the same price that they sell it in their store. The students get $6.50 per box. This is a great opportunity to have money in your students’ account for booster fees, trips, etc.

Lou is a busy lady today! Please be sure to thank her!

THANK YOU!

There are so many pieces that come together every Friday and Saturday that make our band successful. Everyone who has volunteered whether it was selling a hotdog as a Hot Mobile Sales Associate, making pretzels, carrying coolers, loading the trucks, chaperoning, pluming or depluming, your help has been invaluable. And it has made my job easier. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I tried sending out an individual statement and somehow Charms backfired. I am so sorry for the inconvenience-please disregard the email and delete it.

Thanks.

Hello Everyone!

Our Booster meeting is Thursday at 7:00 in the band room. For your reading pleasure the minutes and treasurer’s reports from Sept and Oct are attached.

We will celebrate our volunteers and have cake and coffee at the meeting.

Spirit wear will be for sale!

Pete Shea recorded the entire March on Madison event. We will have copies made and available for purchase. The DVDs are $5. You can order your DVD tomorrow night as well.

As I said yesterday, we still have a lot to do before the end of the semester. We will not have a booster meeting in December.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Warm wishes on this chilly night,

Cindy Leaphart

Band Booster Reports for Sept and Oct.docx

Dear Parents,

The Madison City School Board is now requiring all volunteers in contact with students to have a background check. This is required for all chaperones, equipment crew, photographers, and any others that are in contact with the students. The band is required to check and make sure all volunteers have completed this background check. Please follow the instructions below to complete your background check and submit your approved background check to the band.

To complete the background check: Please go to our BJHS Band website, bjhsband.com, and click on the “Background Check” button in the center of the page. There is a cost of $14.95. It is an easy process and it only takes a few minutes to complete. You will receive your card in the mail after your background check is complete.

When you do receive your approval: Please take a picture, or scan, of the front of your card and send it to:

bjhsband.forms@gmail.com

Please put Background Check and your name in the subject line. For instance, my email subject would be:

Background Check Janine Reardon

If you are an employee of MCS, you have a background check and that counts. Please take a picture, or scan, of the front of your badge and send it to bjhsband.forms@gmail.com. Please put Background Check and your name in the subject line.

Because this is not an instant check, please continue to use the Lobby Guard check in the lobby of the school until you receive your background check approval. You can bring the sticker to the band room and place it in the band box.

PLEASE COMPLETE THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Thank you for your cooperation with this new requirement.

Janine Reardon
