Several Band Announcements!!!

/

Alchemy Show Shirts are still available!

If you missed the order deadline but are still interested in a show shirt, we have all types of shirts in sizes up to adult 2X available for purchase. Please contact Kim Parker (threads147@aol.com or 378-1258) if you would like to purchase a shirt.

Looking for somewhere to help?  We still have several areas needing volunteers.

Split the Pot
At each home football game, we need a few volunteers to sell Split the Pot tickets. This is a very easy job and you're finished by halftime! Please contact Holly Myers, hollyboo19@icloud.com, if you can help at any or all of these games. 

Savings Cards:  These go on sale in December and are good for a year of discounts at many Ross, Colerain, & Hamilton stores and restaurants. They cost $5.00. These cards are in big demand. They make a great stocking stuffer! They are useful for our kids when they are out on weekends. Chair needed!

Dining Fundraisers:  The chairperson of this fundraiser will work with local restaurants at planning special events to raise money for the band.  This could be in the form of a "Dine to Donate" or a "Dinner Raffle." Chair needed!

Remember to use our AmazonSmile Link when ordering

If you shop on Amazon, please use the link on this website to shop and Amazon will donate to the Ross Band Boosters.

This is an easy fundraiser that lasts year round. You only need to sign-up once and designate Ross Band Boosters as your charitable organization.

Thanks for your support!

Remember, Tonight's Band Booster Meeting location is new!

Tonight's Band Booster Meeting will be held at Big Buls Roadhouse beginning at 7:00pm.

Please consider joining us for about an hour to stay informed and have some laughs as well. The address of Big Buls is 2461 Ross Millville Rd. Hamilton Ohio 45013. Please email or call Dan Schwab  (sope@fuse.net or 720-8731) with any questions or concerns. Hope to see you then!

Percussion Clinic

/

We are excited to announce a percussion techniques clinic for the 2017 marching band season!  It will be held on Saturday, April 29th.  This will be a clinic to teach students how to play anything from mallet instruments to marching percussion. We will go over the in-depth fundamentals of how to perform on each instrument by learning warm-ups and fun exercises. The clinic is open to any junior high or high school student who is interested in learning new instruments or further develop their existing understanding of their instruments. This will also help level the playing field for students wishing to audition for the percussion section in the high school marching band. There will be a $15 registration fee for the clinic. Anyone can come, but students planning to be in the percussion section next year are required to attend.
Please view the attached itinerary for more information and register online here.
