Band Notes - 9/7/2022

Hello Band Family!


Welcome to our first contest week! I want to take this opportunity to frame for you the way that we view competition for our program. While we enjoy the competitive aspects of marching band, we believe that it is much more important for students to understand and value the process of putting together a high quality marching band production. So, while placing 1st and bringing home lots of trophies is fun, in the end, those competitive results are just a byproduct of the hard work and dedication that the students have put in so far. And, on the flip side, if we do not place 1st and bring home lots of trophies, it doesn’t devalue the hard work and dedication that the students have put in so far this season, it just means there is more work to be done, and the process is not over (it never really is…). With this view, it allows us to be supportive of other programs, and cheer on the bands that we are competing against, because at the end of the day, we are all in similar processes, working towards putting on the best performance we are capable of at that moment in time. So, as you are in the stands cheering on our Marching Wildcats this weekend, please remember to also cheer for the other schools who are performing, and help us develop a positive rapport within our marching band community that allows people to see Finneytown in a positive light.

KROGER GRAND RE-OPENING PERFORMANCE

The band has been asked to perform for the Kroger Grand Re-Opening ceremony on Friday, September 16, 2022. This performance will take place during Xperiod on Friday. Students will load buses with instruments and go to perform at the Finneytown Kroger. Once finished, students will ride buses back to Finneytown, and resume their normal daily schedule upon arrival.

Band Notes - 8/30/2022

Hello Band Family!


An amazing summer of marching band has come to a close, and we are excited to get into the swing of a new school year! As the school year begins and students start having homework and other things that come up, we ask that you please encourage them to be organized and stay on top of their schedules and workload. It is extremely important that we continue to make big progressions from week to week, and we will have to do it with significantly less rehearsal time. This means that it is even more important that students are at each rehearsal, so that they don’t fall behind. Remember, marching band is a graded course, and attendance to rehearsals and performances is a part of that grade. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR BAND MOM

This Friday is going to be a busy one so we are keeping it simple with pizza, salad and fruit.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me via phone/text (513.284.9731) or email (amandajangert@outlook.com). 


Thanks and have a great week!

ANNUAL CALENDAR FUNDRAISER

Our first turn in date for the Calendar Fundraiser is Wednesday 7/27. All donations should be entered into the google form at the following link: bit.ly/mbdonor22. Our final turn is Wednesday 8/3. 

 

Please help support our marching band by participating in this annual fundraiser. Without your support, we would not be able to do what we do. As of now, we are at 10% of our goal. I am really hoping for a big final push this last week of the fundraiser.

Band Notes - 7/11/2022

Hello Band Family!


This update is full of information regarding band camp, and our 2 big marching band fundraisers. Participating in these fundraisers is what allows our students to have opportunities like performing on a National Stage at Bands of America. Without the financial support of our community, the experiences that we can provide for our students would be very limited. Please help us out by participating in both of these fundraisers. More information is below. If you have any questions, please let me know!

The BAND App

One of our primary modes of communication is through the BAND app. Students are required to have the BAND app, so that we can communicate to them immediately throughout the season. This is very useful when we are at camp, contests, or football games. Parents are welcome to join, but are not required. This is a new BAND for the 2022 season, so everyone who is interested will need to join this new group as last year's will be archived. Please follow this link to join:  https://band.us/n/acaf7azfR7hb6


FINAL FORMS

It has come to my attention that the link for Final Forms is no longer on the school’s website. Here is the link:  https://finneytown-oh.finalforms.com


FMPA GOLF OUTING

The Finneytown Music Parents Association is hosting our first annual Golf Outing on Saturday, August 13th. This event will be held at the Mill Golf Course at Winton Woods. Attached you will find a flier with information on how to register your team! Even if you have never played, it will be a fun time, and it helps support our music students! We need 18 teams registered by the end of the week! https://finneytownfmpa.org/golf-outing


ANNUAL CALENDAR FUNDRAISER

Hello Marching Band Family!

Our annual marching band fundraiser kicked off last week. All band members received their packet of info on Tuesday along with lots of detailed info from me Mr. Delaney has also attached it here just in case you haven’t seen it yet. We’ve also included a photo to use for sharing via text and social media. We ask that everyone work to fill their calendar, with a sponsor for each day of the month. Dollar amounts for giving make it easy for anyone to support your marcher ($1-$31). 

Our fundraiser deadline is August 3rd. All money is to be turned in on that date. Here is a link for those wishing to pay by credit card (no PayPal account needed!): bit.ly/fhsmusic  There’s a lot more in the attachments so be sure to open and read those. 

Our most successful students in last year’s fundraiser shared the calendar  and donation links to social media, texted and called family and friends, and thought of unconventional ways to reach people. 

Be sure to read over the info and reach out to me if you have any questions. 

We’re so excited for another great year!

Thanks for your support,

April Bruder

 

BAND CAMP SNACKS, FROM OUR BAND MOM, AMANDA ANGERT

While the food at band camp is pretty good, these kids are working hard and using up tons of energy so they need SNACKS**. If you can help out, please use the following link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4FABAA2FA6F5C70-band 

 

Snacks can be dropped off Monday – Thursday when you drop off (or pick up!) your student or to Maggie Laird’s house (7045 Greenfield Drive) before Saturday. Not a shopper? No problem! Cash is always appreciated for those last minute items or extra treats. You can also drop this off to the band office or at Maggie’s (for safety please put in an envelope and text Maggie at 513-476-7050 to let her know you are dropping off). Prefer Venmo? @Maggie-Laird-1 is where it’s at.

 

**Probably self-explanatory but we’re looking for individually packaged snacks to make it easier to distribute (and way more sanitary!)

 

Any questions? Text Amanda Angert at 513-284-9731 or Maggie Laird at 513-476-7050. Thanks so much!!!


BAND CAMP PACKING LIST

The band camp packing list is attached to this email. Anything not on the list that you want to bring, please run by Mr. Delaney first. Remember that anything that you are not allowed to bring to school, you are not allowed to bring to band camp. Asbury has some strict rules that we want to be sure to follow.



Band Notes - 7/2/2022

Hello Band Family!


Welcome to another season with the Finneytown Marching Band! We have a lot of new and exciting things to look forward to this season and we cannot wait to get things started!

Rehearsals start on Tuesday, July 5th, from 8am-12pm. All students should report to the Secondary Campus band room no later than 7:45am for attendance, so that we can begin immediately at 8am. 


Below you will find several important items, so please be sure to read them all carefully. Each week, we will send the Upcoming Events for the week.

FEES AND FORMS

All fees and forms are now PAST DUE. If you have not submitted these items, or communicated to us about a plan to submit them, please do so ASAP.


I must submit our final dietary needs to Asbury by the end of the day on July 5th. Anyone who has not completed all of the forms by that time, will not have submitted their dietary needs, and therefore it will not be communicated to the camp.


FINAL FORMS

Final Forms is not new to Finneytown, but it is new to the band program. In working with our district office, we thought that we had it all figured out, but unfortunately, there was an issue when Final Forms transitioned to the new school year. Anyone who submitted their Final Form documents before that transition was erased out of the system. I realize that this causes a significant inconvenience for these people, and I apologize for that. Everyone needs to check Final Forms to ensure that it shows that you have signed all necessary forms for your student, even if you have done so already. Moving forward, we now know what we need to do to prevent this from occurring again, and while we recognize the frustration that this causes for our families, we appreciate your patience and understanding.
