Individual student account balances are posted in the band room at the high school and a copy will also be posted at the 9th grade campus. Directors Report Barry Eli reported how pleased he was with the band performance at the 1st football game of the season. He was proud of the students� behavior in the stands and the senior leadership that was displayed. The football coach and assistant were also pleased with the energy and support that the band provided. The band will be leaving CHHS at 5:30 on September 14th for the game at Delmar. There will be 3 buses available and chaperones are welcome. Upon returning to the school, the students must help unload the equipment trailer. Barry will also mention to the band members that their uniform jackets can be removed while in the stands as long as everyone wears a plain white t-shirt. The band trip this year will be to Cleveland, Ohio from May 15th through May 1st. The estimated cost is between $500 and $600. An itinerary and payment schedule will be available soon. Once the payment schedule is given, any student who has not paid in full before the deadline will be unable to attend. Gail Kelso apologized for not being able to attend last year due to other commitments. She will make every effort to attend most meetings this year. There are 85 choir members; however they are not as active as the band. She would like to include the choir members in the fundraiser activities. The choir, along with the cheerleaders, is working on words to accompany the �fight song�. Gail and Barry will assist with the wording. The choir will perform at the 2 home football games this year, and has also been asked to perform at a pep rally for the 1st time ever. The winter concert will be combined with the band on December 17th at 7:00 p.m. President�s Report Robert Wingo welcomed Gail back to the music booster meetings. It is wonderful to see the turnout of parents present. Robert also reported how nice it is to see Barry Eli so relaxed. Thank You to Alan Bales for a good job with the announcing, Darrell Dukes and all the parents who assisted with the loading, transportation and unpacking of the equipment, and also to P.J. Hopkins and Heidi Dukes for coordinating the placement and removal of the flumes. Old Business Joe Corbi�s Fundraiser � Carol Moore reported that the Joe Corbi�s fundraiser has started.
