Please mark your calendar now with the dates of this year's Booster meetings.  They are generally held the first Monday of the month, at 7:30 pm in the Band Room.  We encourage all parents to be members of Band Boosters. It’s truly THE best way to know what’s going on with your student in the band and to get to know the great people who make up our organization.  Dues for the year are only $25 per family and afford you many benefits.  Click here for a membership form.

We also try to keep you up to date via email, so please make sure that we have your email addresses (home and work are ideal) and then update us if the address(es) should change.  Send email information to Roby Monday at Roby.H.Monday-1@usa.dupont.com.

Band Parents – Your Help is Needed!

The Godwin Band and its Booster organization cannot exist without the involvement of all parents. We must have chaperones in order to perform at football games, competitions, and to go on Spring Trip. We must have everyone's help in fundraisers in order buy equipment, instruments, and operate the Booster organization (did you know that our band will not be receiving any County funding this year?). We need your help to volunteer now as we are trying to fill remaining leadership roles and as the year progresses as the need arises. Please contact Roby Monday (750-2272) to let us know what committee(s) you are willing to help with. Please offer to lend the Boosters a hand and in doing so support our great kids and music program. Areas where we still need help:

• Chaperones— Band Camp, After-School practices, football games, competitions
• Field Show – Coordinators to oversee areas such as Concessions, Sales, Competition Logistics, and Facilities. Also ALL parents and students are needed to work the day of the show, Saturday, November 3rd. Parents call or email Laura Taylor for specifics. Students should contact Debra Bradshaw.
