MUSIC PARENT’S ASSOCIATION MINUTES The meeting was called to order by President
Richard Anderson at Treasurer’s Report:
Pat Brune was absent. The
audit of the year’s finances is being worked on. Department Reports: Instrumental Department:
The band camp letter is about ready to be sent. The letter to the eighth grade students and
parents is still being worked on. For the
most part, band camp will be in the stadium. The
Color Guard will be sponsored by Sarah Larson, who is on the high
school faculty. Camp for the Color Guard
will probably be in the middle of July. Right
now there are six Color Guard members. Committee Reports: Membership: MPA
membership is still at 83 families. Communications: No
report. Trailer/Transportation:
We talked a little about the need for a BIG trailer. We’ll use four buses on road trips. Awards/Recognition:
No report. Ways and Means: Susan
Anderson talked about the Pirate Card fundraiser. She
suggested the kids take orders and then we won’t have to buy the cards
up-front. The District-wide “character
words” could be put on the cards. We may
sell these at student enrollment in August. We’ll
also sell Cherrydale products again. A
Motion was made (Susan Anderson) to have Premier Incentives make 200
Pirate Cards. The Motion was seconded and
passed. The Country Mart card fundraiser has already
brought in over $1,800, and we’ll get another check soon.
We’ll use the Country Mart and the Cherrydale fundraisers
again next year. Old Business: Richard Anderson and Bruce and Sharron Breslow
will work on the senior yard signs. We need committee chairmen for Ways and Means,
Away Tailgates and Home Tailgates. We discussed the proposed change to the Bylaws
(the “points of clarification” sentence that will be added as an
Addendum to the Bylaws). Article II will read: “In
order to support and enhance the A Motion was made, seconded, and passed that
this Addendum be added to the Bylaws. The
Secretary will add this Addendum to the Bylaws in the permanent records
of MPA. New Business: Mr. Bonsignore asked if MPA can purchase
digital storage devices (flash drives) for the band directors. The cost of cleaning the band uniforms has gone
up. Susan Anderson will check with Premier
Dry Cleaners about their price. We
discussed uniform repairs and the likelihood of some rather major
alterations needing to be done because we will not be getting
additional uniforms for the drum line. The marching band schedule was discussed. Mr. Jones noted the following competition
dates: September 23-- Adjournment: The
meeting was adjourned at Respectfully Submitted, Ruth Wilson MPA Secretary
