MUSIC BOOSTERS MEETING MINUTES
Tuesday, September 07, 2010
7:00 PM
This was the first regular meeting of the Music Boosters for the 2010-2011 school year.  These meetings are generally conducted on the first Monday of every month at 7 PM in the High School Media Room.
 
The first item on the agenda was a discussion of picture buttons for band and choir students.  Joe Vculek  took over the meeting at this point to explain how the picture button photo process worked.  Charlene Schubauer agreed to get the order form made and provided to the instructors.  She was also going to place a message in the online school bulletins and send messages to all parents in the Music Booster email list.
 
There was a short discussion regarding the band's Washington DC trip.  Currently, all necessary chaperones are covered.
 
Charlene Schubauer opened discussion regarding the Grand Opening for the new theater that is slated to be open during the fall of 2011.  Mr. Arent is going to check into this.
 
Processing and tracking student accounts was the next item on the agenda.  After a short discussion, it was decided there would be a special meeting of the executive committee to determine a viable process.
 
The Music Booster  annual soup supper is set for January 15, 2011 against DC West.  Both boys and girls basketball teams are scheduled to play on this date, with the start time of the first JV game being 1 PM, and the start time of the last game will be 4 PM. Therefore, the soup supper will begin at noon with an estimated end time of 6 PM.  The tickets will sell for $6, of which $3 of each ticket will be deposited in the selling student's account.  No theme has yet been determined.
 
Charlene Schubauer discussed the concession stand and the need for volunteers.  Volunteers earn credits to be deposited in their student account.  Parents and siblings may also earn credits for current band and choir students.  Charlene will provide Laurie and Lois with the concession stand schedule prior to next week so they can begin recruiting volunteers.
 
Mrs. Anderson brought up the need for an accompanist for contest and concerts, and asked if the Music Boosters could pay the accompanist for the after hours activities.  The majority of the Music Boosters present at the meeting disapproved of Music Boosters paying for an accompanist.  It was mentioned that coaches are paid by the School District for their after school activities, and do not require the Athletic Boosters to support the salary of the coach.
 
Mr. Rischling and Mrs. Anderson provided these dates for the upcoming activities:  September 25 - -Marching Band performs at Wayne State; October 2 - - Marching Band Performs at Harvest of Harmony in Grand Island; October 25th - - Fall Concert for Band and Choir in Wahoo.  They requested volunteers for assistance at any/all of these events.  Please let them know if you are available to assist!
 
This meeting adjourned @ 7:50 PM.
