Still need to get engraving done on bars and senior plaque. Francine will order it.  Need Freshman certificates. Mlee M will be coordinating.

Storage: No news on move in date. Paint and other materials belonging to school contractor are still in the storage area. Bob I will ask administration to have it moved. Several items are still missing from the construction/relocation and are considered lost : awnings, pedals for grand piano, blue storage tables and timpani cart.

 

Band Camp: Paperwork is at the District office pending approval for Camp Mingus on August 6-10. Doc has been granted approval to miss teacher in-service. Cost will be $320.00 per person. Payment of $90.00 is due before the end of the school year.

 

Marching Band 2008-2009:  Calendar is ready, except for Booster meetings. Adrienne Miller and Cliff Summerhill are drum majors. Many students have signed up for section leader positions. We will be performing at 3 or 4 festivals, including ASU band  day. 66 students have signed up for Marching Band next year – may be Division 2. Ruthie will be returning to coach the Guard and she will be attending camp. Hope to have 6 Guard members. Justin Covert and M G Johnson will write the Percussion parts with Antonio Hernandez as consultant.

 

Charms Program: (Student Account Software) The District has been approached to obtain site license to acquire this software. Students could access accounts and use Paypal. Programs include barcode scanner for uniform and instrument inventory, depreciation schedule, calendar. Live tech support available. It is hoped the District Technology Fund would pay for this.

 

Football Concessions: Bob Ingram is still waiting for news about the concession stand. Maricopa County is requiring a Food Service Permit for operation of the stand. Mr. Biera sent it to the District for payment, but we haven’t heard anything. Fixtures approved in the original plans for the stand were not installed (3 compartment sink, mop sink and hand-washing sink) so it is not up to code. The Boosters can not prepare popcorn and cotton candy for sale if not up to code. We could sell pre-packaged food, but will not be able to make enough profit.  It is hoped that the CHS Administration will stand behind us and help the Boosters get what we need.
