REMINDER
Due to budget constraints, we are *NOT* providing meals to our students on competition days, as has been done in some previous years. Please be sure your student brings a lunch/dinner or money to purchase food for all events and competitions.
THANK YOU!!
... to everyone that supported the Taste of Aliso event and our Silent Auction.  We are still working on the final tally - but early indications are that it was a successful evening.  THANK YOU!!

Soup Night
Join us every Monday night during Marching Band season to watch and cheer our students as they rehearse, enjoy a cup of gourmet soup, and help support our Alumni Scholarship Fund. This year Chef Bill Spivey is taking us on a journey of America's highways with hand-crafted soups from around the country. Come join us!

Headline IconMarching Band Competition 
Reserve Saturday, October 29th in your calendars ... 
Plans are coming together for the first-ever Marching Band Competition to be hosted by Aliso Niguel.  We are going to have 16 bands, along with their students, families, and fans .... who will need assistance with parking, food, directions, and making sure they have a positive experience.  

 

We are going to need *ALL PARENTS* in the program to assist with the many jobs that need filling - taking tickets, hospitality, gate and stadium control, food services, etc. ... in two shifts. This is a MAJOR fundraiser for our program and we need everyone's support for it to be successful. We have a separate section on our Volunteer Registration page for these tasks.

If you have already signed-up - THANK YOU!  If not, PLEASE sign-up on the Volunteer Register for this event and show-up to help.
 
ALL volunteers for the event will be asked to attend a training session on the evening of Thursday, October 27th to review the various tasks. Watch for more details on this next week.
Headline IconProgram SHOUT-OUT
Show your support for your student, their section, or the group as a whole by purchasing a SHOUT-OUT advertisement in the Marching Band Competition Program.  
 
These quarter-page adverts are ONLY $25 each - making it affordable to give a SHOUT-OUT (or several!) to your favorite ANHS Instrumental Music student.  You can create your own high resolution artwork (3.5" w x 4.75" h at 300dpi) or send us a high-resolution photo and the text you'd like used - and we'll create it. We can also create a text-only SHOUT-OUT, so you don't have to worry about a photo. 
 

Place your order today ONLINE using the ANHS Music Online Store.

 

LAST DATE TO PLACE YOUR ORDER: 

THIS WEDNESDAY (Oct 19) at midnight.

Headline IconCow Chip Bingo
Ticket sales for Cow Chip Bingo are underway.  We have 3,000 tickets to sell - so everyone's assistance is needed to ensure this fundraiser is a huge success. 
 
The event will take place just after the Laguna Hills Holiday Parade on December 10th, at the "Upper Soccer Field" of the YMCA/Laguna Niguel Community Center on Crown Valley. Tickets are $5 each - with prizes of $250, $500, and $1000 to the winners.  Students are also eligible to win prizes for having sold the winning tickets, as well as for selling the most tickets.  
 
For more information, including the official contest rules - see the event on the website.
Headline IconSpirit Wear Available Online
NOW AVAILABLE - Ladies' V-Neck Shirts With/Without BLING! and Member Jackets!! Spirit Wear items are available for order in our Online Store - including embroidered caps, polo shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and an all-weather 'team jacket'. Each item is made-to-order, so we don't carry items in inventory for sale. Normal delivery time is 3 weeks from receipt of order.  
 
Order now so you can show your Aliso spirit as our students participate in upcoming competitions.
 
All profits from the sale of items on the Online Store directly benefit our programs.

 

Headline IconHelp Keep Us Hydrated
We can always use donations of bottled water to help keep our students hydrated at their performances.  With 110+ students in this year's program - it takes a lot of water to make sure everyone has something to drink.
 
Please consider donating a case or two of bottled water the next time you visit your grocery or Costco. If you have questions or if you have water you'd like to donate, please contact Marvin Swan for more information.
Headline IconOnline Volunteer Registry
Volunteers are the life-blood of our organization and without an active group of people to support our various programs and fund raising efforts, things just don't get done.  We have created a new Volunteer section on our website, which provides information about the roles and tasks associated with our Volunteer Committees.  
 
Our Volunteer Registration form automatically saves your volunteer profile and event/task selections - making it very easy to return to the site to review and update your profile information and selections.  All information is stored in our database and readily available for committee chairpersons.

 

If you ever have a question, would like more information about our programs, would like to become more-involved with our efforts, or would just like to offer a comment about this Newsletter or the Website - please use the Contact Us form on the website to contact any of the members of the Board of Directors.

 

Thank you for your support!
