Midweek Newsletter 8/16

Hello Band Parents!

You are invited to find your place on our Chaperone team by attending the meeting this Thursday, August 17th at 7pm in the Hebron library.

Hey Band Family!!!

We are in serious need of adult volunteers to come help throughout the day, Saturday August 19.

This is a fun day where you get to meet a lot of other amazing parents, hang out with ones you know and maybe have not seen in awhile!!! There are several different shifts, so you are not expected to stay all day!

There is absolutely NO experience required!!!

The first shift will be 11-3:30…this block is for fitting marching uniforms. There are MANY jobs that do not require actually measuring. We have tagging the uniforms with the kids names, covering them in cleaning bags, keeping the racks organized while others are pulling sizes.

The second shift will be 3:00-7:30..this block will be the same set up as the first shift with fitting marching uniforms.

There is also a need for people to come at 4:00 and hand out summer uniforms, black marching shoes and water jugs. This shift is scheduled till 7:30 but there is a good chance everything will be distributed by 5:00 pm and you will be able to leave once that happens.

The last big need is for adults to help tag( put names on them) visors, hat wraps, hat boxes and gauntlets. This will be from 4:30-7:30 as well. A good amount of this is just watching over upperclassman check and double check that they have their accessories and then putting names on the new student items so everyone is set for our first football game on Aug 25.

Please come spend some time with us on Saturday!

Click the Volunteer Link above and go to the Uniform Volunteer sign-up.

Here are our volunteer opportunities for the week of August 13th (and a few to plan ahead for).

• The props are ready for painting, and we need help if they’re going to get completed in time! So please wear your painting clothes and come help us this week!
• We also have over 100 volunteer spots that need to be filled to help with Marching Uniform Fittings this Saturday the 19th. You do not need to have experience or be qualified to fit uniforms, just sign-up and we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
• And don’t forget, you must be background checked to work with the kids! It’ll take you 5 minutes, so please click the button below for step-by-step instructions for that simple process! Don’t delay, it can take a few days to get your approval back from the district!
• If you’ve already submitted your background check application, please don’t forget to go back into Voly, once you are approved, and join the Hebron Band Event. If you click the button below, and go to step 3, there’s a link that will take you straight to the event.
• If you have any questions reach out to Nikki Wilson at volunteers@hebronband.org

Squadfunds Fundraiser The url below takes you directly to the fundraiser and enters the code students need for them. Participation in ALL fundraisers is CRITICAL to the success of our program of over 380 students - money raised through fundraisers like SQUADFUNDS help support the daily operations of our band, including transportation, equipment, uniforms, props, music arrangers and composers, and clinicians. Without fundraisers, our band and student fees would be 33% higher!!!!

• Fundraising on top of fees is an ALL IN endeavor!
• Squad Funds student goal is $200 (stretch goal $350) and overall goal is $75K!
• Right now we have 130 students who have NOT signed up to participate in SquadFunds. We need everyone to be #AIATT if we want to make this year a success!

1. Upload photo (clear photo of your face please!!)

2. Select your “team” (section)

3. Enter email addresses (challenge to returning students to add 3-5 new addresses!)

4. Fundraiser will launch Friday! Please upload 20 emails by Thursday, Aug. 10

Parents, please encourage your students to login their email and sign the forms.

Parents and students have each received two emails. The emails came from “Jeff Mabray via

Docusign.” Please check your spam folder if you don’t see them. One will contain just the LISD

Drug Policy & Medical Release; the other will contain all the other forms.

• Please complete all fields, and submit. Once you and your student have completed all fields, you’ll both get an email confirmation telling you “Your Document Has Been Completed.”
• You will want to find 10 to 15 minutes of uninterrupted time where you can sit down and carefully and thoughtfully review each document and the complete ALL required fields and any optional fields that apply to you and your situation.
• Docusign helps you out by filling in some information as you type. For example, once you have entered your student’s name, it should auto-populate in other fields where it is required.

If your family did NOT receive the emails at all or you have questions about the forms, please

reach out to presidentelect@hebronband.org and I will get back with you. Again, we only need

one set of forms per student, not per parent/guardian. You do not need to create a docusign

account or download their app to complete these forms.
