Looking for a summer camp for your child?  I highly recommend the UNCG Summer Music Camp.  It is one of the best music camps in the country.  We are lucky that we live close enough that students can participate in the day camp for a lesser fee than staying on campus the entire time.  Below is more information from the camp:

UNCG Summer Music Camp

The School of Music at UNC Greensboro is pleased to again announce plans for Summer Music Camp, still the largest university music camp in America! This summer we will offer two one-week camps, serving over 1,700 musicians, with programs in band, mixed chorus, orchestra, and piano.

Booster Meeting Updated Information:

Mrs. VanDine found this information from the caterer:

• He has something conflicting on that date with being able to deliver the food to the church for us.  But if we can pick it up (with either a van or a pick-up) he will drop the meal price from $4.75 per person to $4.50 per person to save a little because we are picking up ourselves.  So…we will need someone to pickup the food that day.
• $4.50 + $.35 tea = $4.85 per person (+ tax)
• Includes: Asst. pasta, bread/butter, salad/dressing, and tea.
• Tea will come in buckets and so we will need pitchers to serve it in. (He will also provide a couple of jugs of unsweetened tea. He will also throw in some packets of artificial sweetener for us.) ~The church has pitchers that we can use.
• He will drop an invoice in the mail and the bill can be paid later.
• He needs to know an approx. number by Friday, February 26^th.
• Someone will need to return the heating carts to the restaurant either that evening (restaurant open till 9pm) or the next morning (before 11am).

Supplies (from Mrs. Batts):

• I have found polyester, ivory tablecloths for $11.99 a piece. We can reuse these every year so over time we will save on money.
• I have purchased the napkins, drink cups, dessert plates, dinner plates, coffee cups, cutlery, and trash bags. 

Coffee and Dessert (Mrs. Fredere)

• She will be donating the coffee, sugar, and creamer.
• The church will let us use the coffee maker that night.
• She has also found a friend to donate cakes for dessert! 

Centerpieces:

• We will reuse the glass bowls and candles from last year. 
• Brittany Miller has made the table numbers.

Advertisement:

• Mr. Cutchin has contacted the newspaper about our event.
• Need Students to make posters.
• I will email the Middle School and High School Staff

 Items left to attend to:

• Student duties: Make list and signup sheet for students. Will complete next week.
  • Tip Jar
  • Coat Check
• Make posters to post around the school.
• Find someone with a van to pick up the food and take the heating racks back.
• Find someone to that has a truck that can pull the trailer Wednesday and Thursday night to bring the instruments and music stands. 

If you can help in any way please let me know.  This is a big event for us and we could use any help we can get! The next Booster Meetings is Monday, March 1^st at 7pm.

Our Dinner and A Show Fundraiser is less than 2 weeks away (Thursday, March 4^th)!  Last Friday, students were given tickets to sell for the event.  A ticket includes dinner (pasta dish, salad, rolls, dessert, coffee, and tea) and a show provided by Southern Guilford Jazz and Concert Bands and special guests the Triad Piedmont Wind Ensemble.  There will also be Door Prizes!  The price of tickets are $10 for dinner and the show and $5 just for the show.  The event will take place at Community Baptist Church , 1330 Burnetts Chapel Road, which is just down the road from Southern.  This will be a nice evening for family and friends to enjoy good food and music. 

 For each ticket a student sells, they will receive $3 to go towards the spring band trip in 2011.  All ticket sells must be turned in Thursday, February 25th.  The top 3 sellers will receive gift cards to itunes or Cold Stone Creamery. 

 *All students are required to attend, it is a performance grade; 30% of their total grade!

I am excited to announce that 4 students from Southern auditioned and made spots in the Guilford County, All-County Band.  Students had to play scales, a solo, and sight read a piece for the audition this past Tuesday.  They competed against other 9-12 grade students in the county.  April 7^th and 8^th they will attend a two day clinic at Grimsley High School and on Thursday, April 8^th they will perform a concert.

School is closed tomorrow!

No booster meeting tonight. Will have it on Monday, Feb. 8th.

Remember that this Thursday, Jan. 28^th is the Pizza Inn Fundraiser.  It will be at Pizza Inn on 110 Fairfield Rd in High Point; 434-2138. Below is a list of student and parent volunteers.  We could use a few more parent volunteers if anyone is available. All the parents need to do is supervise the students to make sure everything is going smoothly.  The students will have to wait tables, serve drinks, and clean tables.  We will get 10% of the total sales and 100% of the tips for the night from 4:30pm to 9:00pm.   Please invite your friends and family because the more that dine in the more money each student will raise towards their trip next year.   

 Make sure you are on time for your shift so you can receive the proper training!  The shifts are from 4:15-6:45pm and 6:30-9:00pm.
