From Mr. Clemente
Dear Winter Park Band families,
It is with a different tone that I sincerely hope that you are well when reading this. This week's storm brought so much to deal with for our community, and I know that many of our families were left dealing with cleanup. Hopefully everyone has their power restored! I know at least my neighbors across the street still have not gotten theirs back as of Sunday morning.
As I type this, we still are unsure of concrete dates for rescheduled events from last week's Homecoming activities. As soon as I hear official dates from our administration, I will pass that information along to everyone.
This week will prove to be a super short one with no classes on Monday and a scheduled day off on Friday. Please pay special attention to the itinerary for Thursday's marching band rehearsal and away football game. Students will need to bring their clothes for wearing under their marching band uniform with them to school in order to change into them after our short rehearsal, during dinner time, before we leave for the game.
Saturday at 10:00 AM, Jazz Ensemble I will perform downtown at the Winter Park Autumn Art Festival. We hope you can make it out so we have a big audience to play for!
Our fundraiser is off to a great start! This fundraiser is called Instaraise and is a 100% online donation campaign. Currently, we have over $5,000.00 raised for the Band. It's a great start, but we have a long way to go to reach our $30,000.00 goal! Let's get out there and raise money for our trip!
LAST CHANCE: Individual photos taken the other week for our annual collage photo are now available to order. Please see the image below for both the link and gallery code to view and order your student's photos. The ordering window will close on Sunday, 10/2.
Concert Uniform Accessories orders deadline has been extended and are now due by this coming Wednesday, 10/5. Please see below for details. All items may be found on SchoolPay.
Finally, we will be making one more order for Extra 2022 Show Shirts. The item will also come available on SchoolPay Monday, 9/19 and have also been extended until Wednesday, 10/5.
Let's make it a great week everyone, and I can't wait to see everyone on Tuesday!
Mr. Clemente

Hi Band! Well, that was a Homecoming Week for the record books .. a horrible storm instead of a parade and yard and water clean up and power outages instead of a football game! We'll listen for Homecoming rescheduling plans from here. Hoping that all of our Band Family came through the storm safely and are able to get things back together to get back to school and work as soon as we can ... quite a stressful week for sure.
Looking forward to this week's activities ... we've got a THURSDAY football game this week and are still in need of four more chaperones. Please check your schedule, parents, and see if you can lend a hand: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fadab22aa8-football
And if you’re a senior parent who can help out with Senior Night (Friday, November 4th), please email me (dana@keepsakefloral.com) your ability to help .. we’ll be planning a meeting for those plans in the next week.
Reach out to any of our board members with any other questions … http://www.winterparkhsband.com/band-boosters.html
Have a great week, Wildcats! See you at Thursday’s game!

InstaRaise Fundraiser Ongoing
Hello Band Families!
Our InstaRaise fundraiser kicked off last week! As of writing this newsletter, we have raised $5,276.00 for the Band Program. What a great start! Your child can keep entering contacts into their contact list. This will send out an email to those potential supporters asking them for a donation. Supporters have the option as to how much they wish to contribute. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be split 50/50 between the band and the student receiving the donation. The fundraiser will be open from Sept 26 - October 7th. You can go to https://www.instaraise.com/winterparkhs/band to check on your child’s donations. Be sure to send a thank you to those that donate! Let’s get the word out and raise as much as we can to help get the musicians to New York! As always, if you have any question, feel free to email Ribaric.family@gmail.com.
