A letter from our President

October 5, 2012

Touch of Class Mighty Cardinal Music Parents:

We want to let you know a few things that are coming up.  As you all know, we are in full swing with football games, District/State Choir auditions, and field competitions, just to name a few things.  With that come a lot of effort and coordination, as well as money, to make sure your child has the greatest experiences possible.  We officers are excited about this year and our growing Music Department.

Mr. Fox has conveyed his goals for the 2012-2013 school year, as well as goals for future growth and development.  The immediate goals are as follows:

·         New props to support field competitions

·         New props for Show Choir and upcoming competitions

·         Choir participation during Christmas festival at Silver Dollar City

·         A new equipment truck (We are growing and have almost filled the current vehicle)

 

Some of the long-term needs of the Department:

·         Another large trip for the kids involved in the Music program

·         Concrete pad with turf on the practice field (to better equip kids for competition)

·         Field retrofitted to accommodate field competitions (seating is a big issue)

 

We are committed to helping him obtain these goals.  We would also like to re-establish the $500 scholarship program for both band and choir. Details will be provided in the future as the program develops.  Our biggest wish for the Music Department is for recognition for all the effort our kids put into the Music program.  I invite you to join us for our monthly Music Booster Club Meeting, the first Tuesday of each month, at 6:00 p.m.  We will discuss upcoming events, keep you informed on the fundraising efforts, and provide opportunities for all to help where possible.  We are also working on a newsletter so that all may be better informed.

Upcoming dates:

September 29   Show Choir Clinic

October 6             Valhalla                              

October 13          Ozark Mountain Marching Festival 

October 20          Maple Leaf Festival in Carthage

October 27          All-District Choir rehearsal and concert;                                                 All-State Choir auditions

               

Our fundraisers are in full swing this year. We sold approximately 140 cups of Andy’s Frozen Custard at Homecoming, the kids are feverishly selling lollipops.  The kids received order packets for our poinsettia program for Christmas.  They are only $15 each.  Patrons have the option of 8 varieties/colors.  Orders need to be turned in by October 29^th, and delivery will be sometime between Nov. 26^th and Dec. 7^th.  

Thank you, in advance, for your support!
