From Mr. Clemente
Dear Winter Park Band families,
The SOTW had a an extremely productive weekend with our Saturday "Fall Mini-Camp." The entire halftime show is on the field! This Friday's performance will be the first time through all of the music on the field, and if everything goes like we hope and the weather cooperates, we will have our first full performance of the show at the 10/11 football game!
THANK YOU to all our our wonderful parent volunteers who helped serve lunch at Saturday's rehearsal! It was great to see some new faces in the group as well. The students really appreciate seeing you! As always, please look on the Charms calendar and sign up for any chaperone opportunities that you are able to attend!
This week is by far our most active of the school year up until this point. We have spoken in all of the classes about time management, and this week will give the students an opportunity to really test how effective they are at budgeting their time. With three performances in a row, the students have to stay mentally focused on the tasks ahead of them both in all of our Band events as well as in all of their other classes and schoolwork.
Uniforms for this week's performances:
- Homecoming Parade - 2019 Show Shirt, tan/khaki shorts, belt, athletic shoes
- Fall Band Concert - Concert Tuxedo or Concert Dress
- Football Game - Full Marching Band uniform
Let's have a great week!

BAND BOOSTER PRESIDENT MESSAGE
Week of September 29, 2019
A HUGE thank you to all of the volunteers who helped things go so smoothly this week- with pre-game pizza, at the game on Friday, and lunch for Saturday’s rehearsal. All help is welcome and very much appreciated!
This week has LOTS of volunteer opportunities (see below). Chaperones are needed for parades, games, etc. for the safety and security of our students.
· Chaperone parade on 10/2 –sign up spots on Charms calendar and itinerary on the band website
· Help with set up or clean up for the anniversary concert on 10/3 (we have a reception after the concert, and this year will include special decorations, etc.)-sign up spots on Charms calendar
· Bring desserts for the reception after concert on 10/3 (no sign up, just drop by 6:45 p.m. on concert day in the auditorium lobby-suggested items: cookies, donuts, rice crispy treats, brownies-individual pieces-platters should be picked up after concert if you would like them back, as they cannot be stored). A reminder will be sent this week as well.
· Chaperone the homecoming game on 10/4 –sign up spots on Charms calendar
Thank you again, and have a wonderful week.
