Good Morning-
Two quick reminders:
1. Today is the deadline for ticket orders. Our goal is to average 4 tickets sold per band student, this will help us meet our goal. Please bring as many people as you can. Tickets are $5 each, and include pancakes, sausage, juice, coffee, and water.
2. Our shirts have been delayed. They will be ready at 5pm tomorrow, so students will receive them in class Friday. We will be ready to tell you after noon today (Thursday) if you have paid the fair-share fee or not. If you have not paid it, you still can, or you can purchase the shirt for $10 on Friday. Just send $10 with your child, and we will have the shirt waiting. Leftover shirts will be on sale Saturday morning.
If anyone will be in the Apopka or Mt. Dora area Thursday after 5pm, and would be willing to help us pick our shirts up, please let me know.
We are still in need of volunteers for this afternoon to help assemble auction baskets. If you can help with that, please let me know as well.

Pancake Breakfast/Fall Concert
Good Afternoon-
Below is an email I sent out yesterday. The event is almost here! Please consider sending something in for the silent auction baskets if you have not already. Also, we are still in need of bottled water and juice boxes. Thank you to everyone who has already sent something in!
Tickets sales have been okay for the first two days. We have sold about 250 - we are still far short of our goal of 1200. Tickets are $5. If you do not have an order form you can send the money in an envelope with you child's name.
We also still need lots of volunteers for Saturday morning. See below for a link to sign up.
We also need volunteers to help assemble baskets Thursday afternoon. We also need a couple of volunteers to help set up Friday afternoon. Email me directly if you can help on one of these days.
Here is yesterday's email:
I wanted to send out some reminders for our Pancake Breakfast, which is this Saturday morning.
We are in need of donations of juice boxes and water for our breakfast. We are asking 8th grade students to send in bottled water, and 6/7th grade students to send in juice boxes. Publix has Capri Suns for $2 per box. Aldi has water for $2.29 (case of 24).
Please consider sending in something for the silent auction – especially for your child’s class. The class lists are attached to this email.
Ticket sales have begun! We are hoping to have 4 tickets sold per band family. Tickets are $5 and will be on sale all week until we sell out. Please purchase tickets as early as possible!
We are big need for volunteers – we need about 30 more for the morning, and right now have only 13. We have a set-up shift from 6:30-8, and shifts from 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, and 11-12:30 (clean up). Please consider volunteering. It is a great way to get involved and meet other band parents. You can sign up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqnQCAtNQ-R6dDV3Y0NlTVJqTUZVcTl1SjR2MG1zN0E You can also email me directly to sign up.
The band t-shirts will be here this week – this is the uniform for the pancake breakfast. If you have already paid the $35 (fairshare), your child will receive the shirt as soon as it arrives. This can still be paid at any time. Individual t-shirts will go on sale this Thursday for $10. If you would like a shirt, or want an extra, the leftover shirts will be on sale at the breakfast.
That’s all for today,
Mr. Antmann

Good Morning,
Our Fall Concert and Pancake Breakfast is now just one week away, and we are in need of some help with our silent auction. As of this morning, we have about 10 items for the auction (last year at this time we had about 40), and a handful of things for our class baskets. We are in great need of individual items - tickets, services, gift cards, etc. We also have a great need for items for class baskets - some class baskets are empty. Here is a link to the flyer about our silent auction:

Also, if you think you will be sending in an individual item for the auction, please let me know. This will help us plan better for the event. If you need a letter for the donation, please click on this link:

Our 6th annual Pancake Breakfast and Fall Concert is coming up on November 3rd. This is a required event for all band students. The event includes a silent auction, and goes from 8:30-11:30am. Specific performance times will be sent out on Friday.
Our silent auction is critical part of the event's success, as 50% of our income comes from the auction alone. We are behind, however, as far as donations for the auction. So, we need your help!

- art work
- other gift items.
If you need an official letter from the school to get a donation, please let me know.
Also - each class has a theme for an auction basket, and we are asking that students bring in items for their class basket. These do not have to be big things - just small things that go along with the theme. Here are the class themes for this year:
Period 1 - Symphonic Winds: SPA
(gift certificate for manicure, pedicure or massage, bath salts, scented soaps, louffa, music CDs, candles, candle holders, skin care products) Period 2 - Symphonic Band: Beach (cooler, beach towels, beach chairs, sunglasses, Frisbee, sunscreen, hat, balls, kiddie pool, water toys, swim goggles, beach balls, sand toys) Period 3 - Wind Ensemble: Family fun (Gift card for movie, bowling, restaurants, hotels, theme park tickets, craft projects, mini golf tickets) Period 4 - Beginning Band (Cannon): Gator

(Seminole towels, Seminole BBQ set, Seminole hat, Seminole clock, Seminole sweatshirt) Period 6 - Jazz Band 1 (Antmann): Grill master (Grill, long-handled tongs, grill tools, apron, lighter fluid, aim 'n flame, apron, chef hat, oven mitts, meat rubs, seasonings, marinades) Period 6 - Jazz Band 3 (Cannon): Game night (Card games, popcorn, sodas, dominos, board games, puzzle, puzzle mat, popcorn bowls, brain benders, music CDs, dice, dice cup) Period 7 - Jazz Band 2 (Cannon): Great Outdoors: (Tent, camp chairs, fishing gear, cooler, bug spray, backpack, badminton, flashlights, starter sticks (for campfire), stuff for s'mores, lantern)
More information will be coming home regularly about this event - Look for regular emails throughout October.
