 The Music Department has recommended that our music programs need to be kept “in front” of the Board of Education at each meeting. The members of Music Boosters agree. Several signed up to attend future board meetings. Students need to be there as well. Things to comment on could be All-County bands & Choruses, Area All State, music classes, etc.

 After discussing the need for more frequent meetings, it was decided to meet bi-monthly for this year.

 Shirley noted that there are Performing Arts Grants available to not-for-profit groups in the arts. We need to verify our not-for-profit status first.

 New officers were elected for the 2009-2010 year. All were unopposed.

MUSIC BOOSTERS MEETING

 March 26,2007

 In Attendance: George and Linda I, Rhonda V., Linda S., Shirley T., Robin L., Heidi C.,

Jane V.

 The minutes from the previous meeting, September 25,2006, were reviewed and

approved.

The Treasurer's report was read, discussed and approved.

 FUND RAISERS:

 We discussed the sales of the purple Hannibal flags. We need to display them more

often; maybe around the school, in some of the offices, etc. See if any of the Hannibal

businesses will let us display them for sale in their stores. Mention them in the school

lunch menu and maybe on the School Web page.

 We are currently having a flower bulb sale. The money is due April 4&.

 
Should we plan on having a Spaghetti Dinner fund raiser? Check with Sherry Best for a

good date, so we would not interfere with other Community Events.

 

Let's plan on having a Car Wash on Sunday May 2oth at the Village Market. George and Linda will set this up. We could advertise in the Valley News.

 

Should we have another one on June 3 0 at Sweet Inspirations?

 

We will have a Candy Sale again after Regents week, before the Marching Band break.

A percentage of the profits will be distributed to the band members' accounts.

 

Should we continue the citrus sale at Christmas time or in January? The quality of the

fruit was poor last year. Ask Linda Matteson and Linda Samuels about distributors and if they would be willing to help with the project.

 

How about a Pizza Sale next year? One or two weeks before Winter break, Feb. 08.

 

 

OLD BUSINESS:

 

We should send Thank you notes to the people that helped us with the Sound Board.

 

We should send a get well card to Mr. Walker.

 

Robin updated us on the progress obtaining an EN. There is a lot of paper work

involved.

 

We also had an update on the purchase of an Insurance policy for our events, and

fundraisers.

 

We discussed the Music Booster scholarships. We decided to have 2 scholarships for

$250.00 and 2 scholarships for $100.00. A committee will be put in place to decide the

winners. There will be an early May cutoff time for the applications to be handed in.

 

The NYSSMA Solo and Ensemble Festival will be April 20 and 21,2007. We will need

adult and student helpers.

 

Solo medals are provided by the school.

 

We need people to help with tailoring the Marching Band uniforms for length, etc. for the Pageant of Bands Competition in Seneca Falls May 18& and 19&. A bus has been

approved for transportation.

 

Having a business debit card was discussed. Only the signer on the account would be

able to use it, so it was determined that having one would be too complicated.

 

We decided to continue having just two meetings a year.

 

We mentioned that it would be a good idea to have a Music Booster poster, with pictures of our activities, and some information, etc at the DMK middle school in the fall.

 

THE NEXT MUSIC BOOSTERS MEETING WILL BE SEPTEMBER 24, 2007
