VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

All Chair positions are now filled and THANK YOU to all that are heading up these positions!!

Now we need help for our Chair People!!! Areas to help:

If you volunteer to cook, your family eats free of charge at the Winter Band dinner!! Our Winter Concert Dinner is a Chili Supper fundraiser for the Band Boosters. Funds raised from this event will benefit all students of the band program. We are looking for 8-10 more volunteers to cook chili.

Cookie Dough Sales - February

Garage Sale - March

Evening of Jazz Silent Auction

_________________________________________________________________________________________ STADIUM CHAIRS: If you want a comfy seat for the remaining football games and upcoming marching competitions, get your stadium chairs now! We have seats on hand and have placed our final order for the season. Send email to pete.demars@gmail.com to reserve your chair and pick it up at Friday’s football game (or we can arrange delivery). Just $35 buys you the most comfortable seat available! Show your South pride!

WARRENSBURG TICKETS: Last year SMS Band won the award for pre-selling the most tickets for UCM’s Festival of Champions in Warrensburg. Let’s do it again! Tickets are available for $10 each at Friday’s football game or you can order by email and arrange delivery/pickup: pete.demars@gmail.com.   The UCM Festival of Champions gives the band a $2 rebate on every ticket we pre-sell – but the band earns nothing on tickets purchased the day of the event. If every band student sold just 2 tickets we’d earn almost $400…AND we’d fill the stands with Rompin’ Stompin’ Raider green and gold! So stop at the spirit wear table or contact the spirit wear team and get your tickets now!

Spirit Wear:

We now have our Spirit Wear photgraphed and have a page on this site for viewing each piece of wear with a description and price. Click on the Spirit Wear Gallery tab on the left of your screen.
To order Spirit Wear, please contact Pete and Deb DeMars. This Spirit Wear will be available at all Home games by the Ticket Booth. Email your orders in to the DeMars.

Band Juice Volunteers Needed - At each Home Game, we have and need more parents to assist us in handing each band member a bottle of water when coming off the field at halftime. These volunteers will prepare the water bottles, get them to the field and hand them out. This is also another great way to meet other band parents! If you are interested or have questions, please contact Carol or Gerard Hildebrandt at hildebrandt@everestkc.net, or Kathy or Doug Mayer at dkmayer@everestkc.net.

each cost $10 and you can contact Dale to pick up your sign as he will have these at
his home.

SMS BAND PARENTS & FRIENDS:

Do you own your own business? Are you looking for unique ways to advertise? Do you work for a company exploring ways to advertise locally? Do you know someone who owns a business? The SMS Band Spirit Wear Team has an exciting opportunity we’d like to extend to local businesses.

For the first time we are offering the ability to advertise your business on Stadium Chairs while sponsoring the Rompin’ Stompin’ Raider Band. Tax-deductible sponsorships are available for $500 per spot; multiple spots can be combined to create a larger ad. Your company info would be printed on Stadium Chairs orders for a full year! Plus, your advertising dollars continue to work for you as long as the Stadium Chairs are in use!

A very limited number of advertising spots are available. The sample picture below shows the front of the chair (graphic is subject to change). Advertising is arranged on the seat back and is clearly visible whether the seat is folded or in use.



If you or someone you know wants more information, contact Pete or Deb DeMars at pete.demars@gmail.com or call (913) 221-4053 or (913) 526-4552.

SMS BAND PARENTS & FRIENDS:

The Band Booster Spirit Wear Team has received many requests for Stadium Chairs. We have done a great deal of research and believe we have a top-quality product.

·     Three-ply poly fabric cover consisting of a poly canvas, foam padding, and nylon    fabric backing, all quilted together for superior quality and maximum comfort. Resistant to fade and mildew.

·     Outstanding construction - strong tubular steel yet easy to carry.

·     Seat is 17” wide x 14.5” high and weighs less than 6 lbs.

·     Folds to just 4” high for easy storage.

·     Rubber skids help keep the seat from moving on the bleachers.

PRE-ORDER REQUESTS: To ensure we can meet the demand for the limited quantity of stadium chairs we order, we offer you the opportunity to pre-order your stadium chairs.

Price per chair is just $35, less than you might expect to pay in a retail store for this quality. We expect to take delivery of the order in mid-August just before school starts.

If you want to ensure you get one of these comfortable seats, you can send a pre-order request to Pete & Deb DeMars at pete.demars@gmail.com with this information:

Your name

Your student’s name

Number of Stadium Chairs you want to purchase

Your phone number

Your email address

You will receive an email confirmation of your pre-order and we’ll also email you when the chairs arrive to arrange pickup.

The Executive Board asks that everyone continue and/or increase their participation in
our FUNDRAISERS. Mr. Adams' philosophy is to keep the cost of band participation
within everyone's reach by not charging exorbitant dues. To support this idea, we
need everyone to get into our fundraisers. If you would prefer to give a CASH
DONATION, those are welcome at any time, in any amount, and are tax deductible.

Please visit the "BAND BOOSTER CLUB" Page and "MR. ADAM'S WISH LIST" Page to read about why the Booster Club's fundraisers are important to your band student, Mr.
Adams, and the continuing quality of our Band Program.

STUDENT ACCOUNTS will be updated about once a month. Each student has an individual Password. Email Mike Jenson if you need your student's account password. Questions about Student Accounts Balances can be directed to Becky Meschke

Call or email Mike Jenson if you need assistance with the website 515-4470.
