FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT NEEDS HOST FAMILY:
We have been contacted by the local coordinator for the AYA/AIFS foreign exchange student program in the metro KC area and they are looking for a host family to host a female Clarinet player from Germany. She will just be here for the 1st semester of the upcoming school year. They like to place students who have interests/skills which will involve them in school activities and with families with a common interest. The Marching Band is a great “community” and these exchange students thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to be a part of it. If you are interested in hosting this student, please contact Jane Bigler at 913-492-1969 or email at janebigler@sbcglobal.net

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
