The Chicago trip is officially on for Six Flags and the bus bill will be due at that time. We owe approximately $1000 for a drape and $1000 to Great River and have $560 ready for deposit. There is approximately $5000 due in assessment fees from the current students. Treasurer’s report was approved.
Director’s report: Riewerts noted that the Spring concert will be held Thursday in the Auditorium at 7:00. The performance schedule will be 10:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 11:30 a.m. Saturday for Large Group contest in Bettendorf. There have been many conflicts with the music students who are also involved in sports, but the kids are working very hard. Follies will be next Thursday and Friday, May 13th and 14th with the “run through” on the 11th. He also informed the boosters that he will be performing in a play in the auditorium the last two weekends in May. Costume turn-in is May 18th and the awards will be May 25th. June 6th will be graduation at the Mark.
Schloemer reported that Mix chorus will be going to Six Flags in Chicago on May 22nd, 2004. There are 12 seats still available to anyone for the cost of $75 per seat. Any parent volunteers are welcome. The bus will be leaving at 5:00 a.m., performance will be at 9:20 a.m., and then onto Six Flags until 9:00 p.m. The Show Choir kickoff meeting will be June 7th and we will need a list of names of the new incoming students and their parents in order to proceed with the mentoring program from the current parents.
Committees:
Scholarship: Jim Mertens donated his $200 payment as MC from the Big Dance to the scholarship fund.
Swing: It was reported that the first two nights at the concessions went very well. One students slot is needed for Friday night and a few more for Saturday and Sunday. A team leader is needed for each stand and a suggestion was made to pay that person 1 ½ times because of the work load with the inventory. A volunteer is also needed to help coordinate the slot times that need to be filled.
Auto raffle: Only 45 tickets were sold, therefore the raffle for this year will be called off and the money will be returned to the participants. There will be a loss of $45 for the cost of the raffle license.
Golf Outing: Nothing is going on this event yet, but the boosters would like to pursue a fall outing.
Uniforms: Help is needed May 18th from 5 to 7:00 p.m. for the costume turn in of both show choirs and concert choirs. Cleaning instructions are on the website. Concert choir uniforms do not have to be cleaned, as we will send them in for cleaning.
Concessions: Help will be needed at Follies by 7:00 p.m.
Booster Committee sign-up: We will need volunteers for next year and will have sign up sheets at the June Kickoff meeting.
Other business: Riewerts informed the boosters that he would be starting a two year masters program next year in administration.
A suggestion was made to have a donation basket set up at the door for the Spring concert.
Show choir camp is tentatively set for August 17th through 21st, 2004.
