The August meeting of the Southern Wells Music Boosters was held on Tuesday night, August 12th. Those in attendance were Janetta Grover, Kelli Schriver, Donna Geisel, Peggy Haigh, Mike Haigh, and Vivian Drennan.
Called to order at 6:35 pm.
Minutes of last meeting were read.
Treasurer's report: Booth rent paid. Insurance premium paid. Incentive account: No change.
Vivian Drennen inquired as to text messages about meetings and music related information. Mr. Haigh shared the Remind program with her and the others in attendance.
Pop prices discussed. It was decided that we should continue to be the "bargain" of the fair. Our 24oz bottles may be a bit large for most of our dining customers, but for those looking for a bottle of pop, it is the perhaps the best deal/ounce there.
The options for a ham supplier (with the closing of Heyerly's Market) were discussed. Vivian Drennen offered to order this year's from Ossian Meat Packing Co. in Ossian.
A discussion ensued related to the band's dress and appearance in the Street Fair Parades. It was recognized that though the matching black polos and the requirement for students to wear khaki pants look nice. The issue however was the group embarrassment that occurs when one or more students are allowed to break code and wear flip flops or sandals while marching. Mr. Haigh expressed his general agreement, but short of not letting them perform it is difficult to avoid the "tacky" appearance some individuals may choose the night of the performance. Most of the time this is simply about not knowing it's NOT ok. Upon further discussion, it was agreed that as we prepare during class, attention be paid to individuals who are tempted in the direction of inappropriate marching footwear. Mr. Haigh noted that students should be aware now of class days that we are going outside to practice marching since the adoption of weekly lesson planning posted online on each class' webpage. They should either have the suitable footwear for that day or lose participation. Mr. Haigh thanked the parent for bringing up the point.
Mike will send out a reminder that the Street Fair booth is coming up September 16-20th. We will need workers, lots of them, to work shifts in the booth. A form is available online for submitting your availability. Paper copies will be available to students during their classes.
The next meeting of the Southern Wells Music Boosters will be held at its regular standing date of the second Tuesday of the month, September 12th at 6:30 pm.
Meeting adjourned at 8:05 pm.
