AHSMB 2012-13 Kick Off: Rehearsal and Mandatory Parent Meeting Tuesday, May 29 Students should report for a 6 pm start of rehearsal. Dress for the weather. Parents: the meeting is in the Auditorium from 7:30-8:30 pm. This is a mandatory parent meeting. We've streamlined it to an hour -- it is IMPORTANT for you to attend even if you've "been there" before. Reminder for Mentors If you are serving as a mentor family for a new marcher family, remember to arrive 15 minutes early for the Parent Meeting on Tuesday, to meet and great your new families. Meet in the Auditorium Lobby, on the bus circle side (east).

band, but in many areas of their lives now and in the future. Plus, it is a great DEAL for our students to hear Fran Kick for only $10. He is a nationally known leadership expert who does many events for Bands of America / Music for All, DCI and many others. TABB and the Troy School District are helping to subsidize this event.
Mr. McCoy expects all band students to attend, at a MINIMUM, the General Session from 5:30-7 pm. Then, from 7:30-9 pm, Fran will present a Leadership Methods Session for those students who are, want to be, or think of themselves as a leader in any capacity (this Leadership Methods Session is mandatory for Marching Band section leaders and any Ensemble First Chairs). Students should register using this form by Tuesday, May 29. The form was also handed out in band class.

Marching Band E-Book Pre-Sale Opportunity: 2 for 1! (May Make Your "selling" Easier) New this year -- take advantage of a pre-sale offer for the 2013 Entertainment Books, and your customers can get the 2012 book for free NOW (most coupons expire Nov. 1, so they still have six months left!). This incentive offer may make it easier for you to sell your 3-book requirement.
- Collection envelopes available now in the
band room (or use your own envelope to track sales, you will need to know who you sold books to in August when the books arrive)
- Make checks payable to TABB
- Pre-sale ends June 8, 2012
- 2012 books will be hand-delivered as soon as
payment is received by the TABB treasurer. 2013 books will be delivered in early August.
- Entertainment Books will be $30 this year
(that makes having 2 for 1 pre-sale even more appealing!).
- Pre-sale is completely optional. However,
any pre-sales will count toward the 3-book selling requirement and any sales incentives offered in the fall (such as buy 5 books, get one free, raffles, etc.) Questions? Contact Molly Tschirhart.
