Graham Band Parents and Students:
Please mark your calendars for the Annual Graham Band Ice Cream Social. It will be held on Saturday,
May 9, 2015 at the Middle School from 3:00 until 6:30 pm. The kitchen will start serving food at 3:00 and stop
serving when the marching band performs.
The kids have been preparing for this concert since January and they are all eager to show off their
talents. Attendance is very important since they all depend on each other to make sure all the musical parts are
covered. Just as with another team or group, everyone being in attendance will ensure the best performance
possible.
5th grade band members, you will need one evening rehearsal to work through performance
procedures. The practice will be in the band room at the Middle School on Thursday, May 7 from 6:00-7:15
pm. Thank you for supporting this very important and enjoyable event.
Please note the following performance schedule and dress requirements for all bands (All band

The Ice Cream Social helps to raise funds that benefit our band program at All Grade Levels. As
always, it takes the help of ALL our band parents to make this event a success. We are asking for two
donations from each family one donation of food and one of your time. This is a great way to meet other band
parents and start getting involved in the Band Parent Organization! Please indicate on the form on the second
page, the items you will donate and the time you are available to work. PLEASE RETURN THIS FORM AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE!! Mailing to the address on the second page is best.
All food items should be delivered to the Middle School cafeteria between 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM on
Saturday, May 9th.
All parents who volunteer to work should check in at the Middle School kitchen when they arrive and sign in.
Jennifer Noble (937-726-0850) is the chairperson for this event; she will be there to direct you to your
workstation. She will try to contact you by phone prior to the event to confirm your work time. This year, the
kitchen will open for business at 3:00 and close at 6:00 PM.
