Thank You

Band Director Larry Hoover, Percussion Director Bill Weeks, and Band Booster President Rick Durham would like to thank everyone for all their hard work to make the Bands presence at Sellersburg Celebrates another successful year.

Assistance Requested Tomorrow Evening

Please read this entire email!

There has been information circulating today that involves the football group and the band group. Rick Durham and Roger Harshey have worked feverisly with the new football coach and Mr. Bailey and Mr. Crabtree to come up with a win-win solution for everyone.

It was learned that the football group was suppose to have told Mr. Bailey that the director's tower needed to come down for an upcoming football game AND that the band wouldn't be able to use the field anymore.

THIS INFORMATION IS NOT TRUE.

Everyone mentioned above, including Mr. Hoover, discussed the situation and was able to work out a solution!

The football coach explained to Roger Harshey that he WANTS to work with the band. He in no way wants to do anything that would alienate the two groups.

His concern towards the director's tower was one of safety. He thought that it may be too close and a kid would end up running into it. In fact, Roger said that he inquired about using it so that they could video tape the football games to help improve Sellersburg's team. Roger said that he also realized that space was limited for the band to practice and had every intention of sharing the practice field with the band.

A Deal Is Struck

A solution has been worked out between Mr. Hoover and the football coach. The band and football team will use a rotating schedule in order to use the practice field for practice.

The director's tower can remain where it is at, but we need to move it back a few feet. Tomorrow evening at 7:30p up at the practice field, we would like to have some able bodied individuals help us move the tower back. This should not take any longer than a half hour. Roger is going to bring some floor jacks so that the stand can be raised enough for all to push it back.

Everyone is very satisfied with how the negotiations were handled so that everyone was a winner. It is appreciated that some of you expressed your concern and brought it to our school officials attention. It is nice to see parents be concerned and passionate about things their children are involved with. It lets our school officials know that our Booster group is very much alive and supporting the program.

Once again, anyone that can be at the practice field tomorrow evening at 7:30p to help move the director's tower will be appreciated.

Sellersburg Celebrates Sign Up

Sellesburg Celebrates is less than a week away and we will need some volunteers to help with the various activities that the band is doing.

This year we will once again have a dunking booth and a regular booth up at the park for all three days of the event, which is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The parade is on Saturday morning. The Marching Band will be participating in it.

The set-up for the booths at the park are covered. All we are currently asking for is a few hours of time from ALL the marching band parents. We have directions at each of the booths that help explain to you how to meet and greet the public. We will have things for people to purchase to help us fund raise. It is not hard to do and is great fun!

Below are the time slots we need filled. We would like to have two adults at a time in the regular booth and one adult at the dunking booth. Emails will be sent out as the slots get filled, so we can see where we need help. PLUS, you will be able to go to the calendar on the webpage, click on the Sellersburg Celebrates item to see times and who is working.

We will be asking the band kids to sign up also to help at the dunking booth.

To sign up for a time slot, email Tom Hinkle and indicate the time slot you would like to have AND the preferable location. THIS WILL BE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS! So, sign up quickly to get the best times!

If you would like to spend time IN the dunking booth, please email Tom Hinkle to arrange a time.

Please keep an eye on your email and the website daily for additional details concering what we are doing at Sellersburg Celebrates.
