Band Booster
Notes ...
Dear Band Boosters:
Three separate notes follow:
1. I
would like to pass along a heartfelt,
sincere “thank you” to all who supported our
band-mate Tierra Hardin and her family as they went
through the difficult time of the wake and funeral for Jewell
this weekend. Keep up the good work looking out for them,
and keep them in your thoughts and prayers. I am proud to
be associated with such giving, caring people. Carin has
a special note of thanks as well:
Sincere thanks
to all of you who rallied behind the Hardin/Williams
family to supply a meal for 200 people with only three
days notice! I’m so grateful that Pam and
Tierra didn’t have to worry about the food part
of Saturday’s events. Ultimately, there were nearly
300 people in attendance but many other people brought
food as well and there seemed to plenty. The
news about the Superior rating at VBODA brought a beaming
smile to Tierra’s face! A special thanks
to Carol Bayne, who accompanied me to the repast – you’re
an angel and I truly appreciate all that you did. Also,
kudos and gratitude to Ed Bayne for dropping everything
and spending an entire evening to create the sign-up
site so that we had an organized way to handle the affair
on such short notice. We have so many generous, hard-working,
dedicated people in this organization and I can’t
say enough how much I appreciate all of you!
In Gratitude,
Carin
2. Finding
the good after a tragedy is often difficult, and getting
solace after Tierra’s sister’s accident is one
of those times for many of us. Elizabeth Fraser sent the
following message last week, and I provide if for your consideration.
Hopefully you can provide some type of input or support as
the students make their voices heard in the community – I’ve
already let Elizabeth know that I am fully on board for my
own personal part:
Some of the
students in Government class are interested in supporting
an effort to create local political pressure for building
sidewalks near the High School (much needed). As
background to that, they might need to ask for public
information on (for example) number of pedestrian accidents
within 2 miles of the WSHS entrances etc. The Prince
William Police Department probably has this information,
but might need a sponsor for the young people to request
it. It can be separated from identifying information
(names of people involved) to keep it clean of ongoing
disputes etc. The Band Boosters could make a statement
of support for something like this or back up the students
who request information. Let me or Rose know if you think
there is interest or other students who might like to
be active in this.
I think this would be a really worthwhile effort.
Warm regards,
Elizabeth Fraser

3. This Thursday, 1
NOV is the monthly Band Boosters meeting, and as
a teaser/trailer for what we’ll discuss, we have:
· Senior Night for
the Marching Band/Guard members on 9
NOV at the final home football game
· the Santa Parade and Booster Auction on
Saturday, 10 NOV
· the end of Marching Band Season banquet and
awards ceremony
· the Spring Concert Trip
As always, I look forward to having you there to provide
valuable input, have your ideas heard, and just to have you
gain a personal update on your Band Boosters organization.
We continue to have a vibrant, growing organization with
a multitude of activities to support, and all of it is valuable
for the Band Students/Guard Members. Viking Pride!
Very respectfully,
Tom Sands

With Sadness
...
Dear Band Booster Family:
With deepest regret and sympathy for
the family, I am sorry to write that Tierra Hardin's sister Jewell passed
away as a result of her injuries last week. The Band Boosters
will support Tierra and her mom, Pam Williams, to our utmost.
We have a number of very helpful individuals who already
have stepped forward with great assistance, and personally
I am very grateful to them.
Very respectfully,
Tom Sands
Band Booster President

All Band Boosters:
Gaye DeCesare will
be on hand (tomorrow) Saturday, 21 September, from 12 Noon
until 2:30 PM to sell the black "Show Shirts" that
the marching band students wear this season. There are
a limited number of section-shirts (Percussion, Woodwind,
Brass, etc.),
but there are a good number of generic shirts in a variety
of sizes. Come early for best selection, $10 each!
Also, as a "coming attraction" (better

polo shirts coming
on line soon, and Gaye will be seeking
pre-orders at a discounted rate. Exact details To Be Published (TBP), so stay
tuned to find out how to get yours at a great rate. You'll be sure to get your

Fruit
Sale!
Hello to All,
The Woodbridge High School Band
is kicking off its Fresh Florida Citrus Sale. You may choose from navel oranges, juice
oranges,
tangelos, and red grapefruit. There is a "triple charmer" package
that includes navel oranges, grapefruits, and apples (12 each).
I need all orders and money returned no
later than 25 Oct. We expect to receive the fruit the week of
12 November. Attached
is an order form with prices. I highly encourage all band students
to participate to help themselves and the band. Profits will
be split 50-50 between the Band Boosters and the students' personal
accounts. We have had students earn as much as $250 for their
accounts.
If you need more info please email me at anytime or give me
a call.

Shopping at
Safeway and Harris Teeter!
All Band Boosters:
Thanks to those
of you who have updated the records, registered your shopper
club tags at local grocery stores,
and then shopped
to benefit the boosters - we're getting "free money" into
the Band Boosters account for all musicians and support groups
within the Band Booster organization to use. To those of you
who may be new to the concept, John Braun (Booster point of contact
for this action) explains more below.
This program
is not exclusive to band personnel - if you have
neighbors or friends with Safeway or Harris Teeter club cards,
you can sign them up as well. It doesn't cost them anything and
the boosters get the money. It's a win-win situation. Thank you
in advance for all your support.
Very respectfully,
Tom Sands
Band Booster President
