Portal Question: My schedule prevents me from attending parent meetings. A: If you can't make parent meetings, please look to our parent only face book page for the minutes to the meeting
Portal Questions: Is it possible to make volunteering a requirement, not just a suggestion to earn back some money? At least 2 required volunteer opportunities (even without background checks) would hugely benefit the Band as a whole. A: it is not possible to make this a requirement. Some parents just don't have the ability to provide time to volunteer to the organization. but not being able to provide time, then they can help the organization by providing financial assistance. If you do provide the time ( 3 meetings, 3 volunteers events) then you can get your volunteer deposit back. but no, we cannot make it a requirement.
Portal Questions: What volunteer spots are available without prior background checks? We require all board members and uniform volunteers to have clearances. we would like volunteers to have clearances (which are free to apply to) but will accept those for merch, concessions stands, props, and trucks without clearances since they aren't working directly with students.
portal questions: can we bring other students (who we know is responsible & reliable & not problematic) to assist in volunteer opportunities? usually we only allow siblings of current students to help volunteer. Concessions does not want kids in the kitchen to help. but if you have siblings of current band students,please reach out to booster leadership to see where they could be used to the evening.

Since there was a question about whether or not there would be practice on 9/16, I just wanted to let parents know that yes tomorrow 9/21 there will be practice. The building is open so they are able to hold practice.
Water- We are in need of additional water bottle donations for the remainder of the season. Small bottles are preferred if possible. Donations can be brought into the booster office starting this week. Thank you in advance. Also if kids have reusable water bottles to bring to practice this also may help with our water bottle usage.

Q&A PORTAL ANSWERS
Q1. I need a code when signing up for clearances. Please advise.
A1: If you go to the school district website they have a link for Volunteer Clearances. If you scroll down you see the code used for Truman is Service Code: 1KG6XN
Q2: Has the school been approached for a car spot fundraiser for seniors? The band could organize and run the fundraiser, supplying basic supplies and helpers.The school would still need to approve the designs.
A2: we are not aware that the school is working on a car spot fundraiser. . Thank you for sharing this idea and we'd love to have your input to explain how this could run. Is this a car show? Please reach out or come to one of our fundraising committee meetings so we can get a better idea of how this can help the band boosters. If you cannot attend our meeting, please elaborate in email to trumantigerbandfundraising@gmail.com
Q3: Do we know as an organization if we have the full support of the new athletic director? Will she recognize the band as a team sport?
A3: We have not had the opportunity yet to discuss this with Kyle. She just came into this position and we are just starting communications with her on the upcoming season schedule. We hear you though and will work on open communications with her to advocate to her the value this program offers to our students.
Hi Boosters!
Booster Meeting: Our next Booster Meeting is next Wednesday Aug 19th, 6pm in the Truman cafeteria. There will be a Fundraising Committee meeting after the booster meeting to give the committee time in person to plan upcoming fundraisers. Fundraising committee is a good opportunity to provide volunteer time for these upcoming events. Other committees are welcome to have working meetings as well during this time. Please note the Sept Booster meeting has to be moved as it conflicts with Truman's back to school family night. I have requested 9/23 to use the cafeteria and will confirm once it is approved.
Parent Night: Parent Night will be on Sept 2nd to give the students more time to work on the show and it will be a good last practice for the students before their first performance at the home game on Sept 3rd. It will begin at 8:30 so please arrive ~ 8:15pm and head to the stadium. We will draw the Yellow Raffle Ticket winners that night(do not need to be present as we will text/call number on winning stubs) as well as have the winners of the Coin War "pie" the staff in the face. We will continue Yellow raffle ticket sales through August 26th
