Vocal Boosters Meeting January 7th, 2003
Meeting
called to order at 7:09 p.m. with 25 in attendance.
Minutes
from the December meeting were approved.
Treasurer
Report was given: Received invoices
for costumes and buses. Approximately
$27,357 is still owed in assessment fees for this year with approximately $8000
from last year’s assessment fees that are past due. Choreography fees will be the next large expense coming due.
Treasurer’s report was approved.
Director’s
report: Schloemer informed the
boosters that the Pit rehearsals are going well.
She thanked parents for helping with the costuming.
She stressed the importance of the need for rehearsal time on the risers
in the green room behind the auditorium, which is currently occupied by ROTC.
She noted that this has been an ongoing problem for the vocal department
and that this room was intended to be a multi-purpose room to be used by all
departments not just for ROTC. Schloemer
requested support from the boosters in helping to resolve this issue.
Buses
have been scheduled and paid for the first two show choir trips.
We will need at least 30 parents to sign up in order to schedule a parent
bus to Urbandale. Parent bus letter is out on the website and students should
also be bringing them home to parents.
Show
Choir pictures will be done at the Linn Mar competition.
Fund
Raising: Candy bar sales will
continue for 2 more weeks. Pizza
Hut coupons will be offered a few more dates.
No report from Pizza Hut yet on the dollar amount we will be receiving.
Krispy Kreme partnership card money will be due next week.
The committee will need to call John O’Donnell concession stand for
next year’s dates, if there is still interest in doing this fund raiser next
year. It was also noted that we may not receive the contract for
the students to help with the Optimus Club Basketball Tournament next year as
there were 34 shifts not covered by show choir students as they didn’t show up
for their scheduled time.
There
will be a short Newsletter done prior to The Big Dance.
No
report from the Costume Committee as they are all busy sewing!
Silent
Auction final results were reported correctly as of the last meeting.
Wisconsin
Singers will be coming April 4th, 2003. The boosters need to form a committee ASAP for the promotion
of this event. The booster club
will be planning on selling tickets for the event at The Big Dance.
Other
business: Booster shirts will be
picked up tomorrow and Gail will be delivering them.
A reminder to the parents to sign up to work at The Big Dance to earn $50
off their student’s assessment fees. Student’s
will be required to work also. The next Big Dance meeting will be January 14th,
2003. The next booster’s meeting
will be held February 4th, 2003 at 7:00 p.m.
Meeting
adjourned at 8:06 p.m.
