The East Central Music Boosters met on Monday, October 20, 2009 @ 6:00 pm in the EC choir/band room with 10 members present. President Heidi Lippens called the meeting to order @ 6:00 pm. The secretary’s minutes were read and approved. The treasurer’s report was given and a motion to accept the report as read was approved.
OLD BUSINESS
Heidi Lippens reported that both the Raider Regiment and the Jrl
High band did well at the Marchin & Movin Parade and
Competition in Bellevue. The Jr. High band took first place honors
in the parade competition. The Raider Regiment took first place in
both the parade and field competition.
State Marching Band was discussed. The Raider Regiment performed in
the snow (first time ever at Kingston Stadium) and received a
Superior Rating with a score of 82.2 points. A thank you went out
to those who provided food and drink for the day; Kris Wall,
Crystal House, Ann Keeney, Michelle Hoffmann, Lorie Kilburg, Kelli
Parker, Erica Shoemaker, and Heidi Lippens. A thank you was read
from the band students in appreciation for the bars and drink the
Boosters provided before and after their competition.
Although absent from the meeting due to middle school band
practice, Jerry sent word that he ended up ordering 10 new jackets
for the middle school band, rather than the 7 he had asked for. The
jackets are being discontinued so he calculated numbers for the
upcoming years and purchased 10 new jackets. They are currently
being embroidered.
Mr. McDonough reported on the Conference Choir that was held Oct.
12. The performance was the weakest he has seen in years. The
principals and music directors in the conference will be meeting
and discussing if this will continue. East Central and Bellevue are
the only choirs large enough to send adequate numbers.
Kelli Parker and Kristi Seamer reported about Wendy’s Night. $105
was earned in October. They stated that we need to send a calendar
to Wendy’s so they know when we are in session. Wendy’s did not
expect us since Clinton Schools weren’t in session. Kris Wall and
Kristi Seamer volunteered to take care of Nov. 9. The Myer’s family
will be working December.
Paula Meyerman reported that she has the DVD’s from the Washington
D.C. trip ready to sell at the Stadium Concert. She will also be
taking orders.
NEW BUSINESS
The Fall Product Sales has started. Students will be selling from
Oct. 13 – 27.
Heidi reported on the Soup Supper prior to the Stadium Concert on
Oct. 27. Teresa Volquardsen is helping her with the supper. Laura
has posted sheets so the students can sign up to bring in food
donations and work a shift. Paula is going to take ticket money
while selling the DVDs. Parent help is needed from 6:00 – 6:45.
Laura sent a note home with students stating this.
The Cattlemen’s Banquet was discussed. Michelle Moeller stated that
students are needed in the morning to set up, some are needed to
help serve drinks and clear tables, and another group is needed to
tear down. Students working the second shift need to arrive at
5:30. We would like some parents to help with each shift. It was
decided that the students would wear their green music shirts with
khaki pants when they serve. Laura will hang sign up sheets in the
music room so students can sign up for the shift of their choice.
Heidi will talk with Michelle when it gets closer to see exactly
what time the set up and tear down shift needs to work.
With no further business to discuss, Paula motioned to adjourn the
meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Heidi Lippens, stand-in secretary
