Weekly Newsletter - NOVEMBER 20, 2023


As we head into the Thanksgiving season, I want to take a second to tell you all how thankful I am to be a part of this organization and have the opportunity to help your kids experience band in the best way possible.  I hope you all are able to enjoy the break this week with friends or family.

I do have a few things I need to cover...

 

What's in this newsletter?

Here's what I have for you all this week:

 

This week in band...


Now on to the details...

 

Luminaria Sale

Our annual Luminaria sale fundraiser is closing out this week.  The sale ends at the end of the day this Thursday, Thanksgiving.  

Here is the link to order luminarias in our band store - share it with family and friends!

There is also a Facebook post you can share from our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/EldoradoEaglesBand/ 

Build day will be the morning of December 9th, at 9 AM.  We will need most students help that morning to build luminarias - lettering points are available to those that help.  We also need everyone to start saving boxes of all sizes for us to pack luminarias in.  Boxes can be dropped off that morning as well.  Delivery of luminarias will take place starting @ 10:30 till about noon.  Emails will be sent to all those that order luminarias letting them know these details.


Student Accounts

Student account statements went out a few days ago.  Please make sure you are staying on top of your fees.  Over 85% of our costs come during marching season, and we rely on those fees being paid as quickly as possible to stay in a good financial position for the rest of the year.


Booster Holiday Party

We'll be having our annual booster holiday party on Saturday, December 9 from 6-11PM.  Our booster social chair and spring trip planner, JP Bowdoin, has graciously offered to host this event again, and we are so thankful for his hospitality.  So please, leave the kids at home, and come and enjoy some holiday cheer with your board, volunteers, and other boosters as a huge thank you for all your hard work toward this band program.

All the details, including a link to RSVP, are in this invitation.  Please RSVP soon so we can properly plan for food.


Volunteer Opportunities

No current volunteer opportunities available.

 

Have a great week!

Go Eagles!

AND a word from Mr. Sayre...

Hello Band!

I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!  Our community has done so much this semester and you have earned a rest.  I am thankful for getting to work with a caring, thoughtful, and most of all kind community of people in this band program.  


To all the students and adults that put in time to make our band a home for so many, thank you.  


To all the students that work hard and represent the qualities our program has to offer at Honor Band, Allstate, or AYS, thank you! 


To all the staff members in our band and at our school that are our cheerleaders, supporters, and mentors, thank YOU! 


To all the parents that give their extra time to volunteer for any of the plethora of events that we participate in, THANK YOU! 


To Mr Snowden, the Band Booster organization, and our friends that make sure the students succeed, thank you.  


Have a restful break and we'll see you on Monday!  Concert on December 5th (Jazz) and December 7th (Concert Bands).


GO EAGLES!  THANK YOU!

Mr. Sayre
