Letter from the President

Hello Aliso Niguel Music and Guard parents!

 

We are very excited to have your student join us as part of the 2012 ANHS Marching Season! 

 

Our program requires not only participation from your student, our Band Director and coaches, but also cannot survive without YOUR support and involvement. Without your participation we would be forced to cut aspects of the Aliso Niguel Marching Band and Color Guard programs.  I have included a list of areas that we are in great need of your support.  You can sign up to serve for these and many other areas in need on our website: www.anhsmusic.com/volunteers  If you have any questions on any of these areas, feel free to contact me directly at president@anhsmusic.com

 

In addition, please be sure to join us at the Mandatory Parent Meeting this Thursday at 7:00pm in the Theater next to the Band Room. The ANHS Band Director, Mr. Weinberg, and the Board of Directors will brief you on the upcoming season and what you can do to help your student and our program succeed!

 

I hope to see you all this week, and thank you for supporting the ANHS Music and Guard programs! 

 

Respectfully,

 

Ken Hammond

President, Aliso Niguel High School Instrumental Music Boosters

Here is THE list of areas in which we need your support:

 

4th of July Food Services at Aliso Viejo Grand Park

STAFFING: We need PARENT AND STUDENT volunteers from 3:30 to 9:30. We could use several volunteers that have trucks to transport food & supplies from school to the park. Your participation is necessary to make this event successful! See website for details.

 

This is a FUNDRAISER for our Programs! Food and drink sales at the July 4th Celebration at Aliso Viejo Grand Park beginning at 6:00pm

 

Logistics

STAFFING: As many staff as possible!

Equipment transportation to/from bandroom/field for football games and competitions, stadium prep, truck loading/unloading and assorted duties. 

 

Uniform Chairperson(s) & Staff

STAFFING: Chairperson(s) and Staff 3-5

The uniform committee is responsible for organizing and maintaining the band uniforms. Volunteers are needed prior to the start of the school year (during Band Camp - Aug 13-29) to help in any of the following areas: fit, measure, hem, wash, and label the uniforms. This generally takes a couple of days during band camp in the band room. Those who wish to hem and wash may take the uniforms home at the end of the day to return the following week.Throughout the school year, other parents are needed to inventory band uniforms prior to the football games and/or competitions. Three or four parents are also needed to "plume the shakos" (feather in the cap) before the band marches on to the field. Overall, most of these jobs go quickly depending upon how many volunteers sign up, but usually do not exceed three hours per event. Everyone is welcome. No sewing experience is required. Contact Mr. Weinberg or me at president@anhsmusic.com if interested!

 

Food Services (Tailgate) 

STAFFING - Support Chairperson(s), and as many staff as possible!

The tailgate BBQ is a fundraiser throughout the year, including Back to School Night, Fall marching band competition, our spring colorguard and drumline competitions hosted at Aliso Niguel, and other events. We need parent participation at all events. If all families volunteer 3-4 times per year, all of our needs would be covered! Time will vary for each event, but volunteers can plan on 3-4 hours of time per event.

Chairperson: Diane Goldberg at  foodservice@anhsmusic.com

Chaperones

STAFFING: Chairperson(s) and Staff 3-5
