Special Thanks to Doc Bennett
for the student's preparation and and his
leadership!
These students as well as
selected students from the other Scottsdale

Arcadia High school. It was a
beautiful concert.
CONGRATULATIONS DONS MARCHING BAND for
receiving a Superior rating at the
Barry Goldwater High School Invitationalon
Saturday 10/25.
Captions were won for Outstanding
Musical Effect, Outstanding Visual Effect and Outstanding
Percussion Performance.
Do you have any pictures
of the Coronado Dons Bands from the past?
We are looking for pictures of previous
years bands to add to our site. If you have
any pictures you would be willing to share,
please contact Lindsay Komlos at
simple810@cox.net.
We
need your help!
We want to create
a Dons Band Alumni section on the
Dons band Website.
We are looking for old pictures of
the bands, band activities, the
Donettes, the previous band
directors, etc. Also, if you
have any old stories about the
bands, band camp (remember Carlsbad,
CA?), football games, plays and
concerts, etc., please forward
them to Lindsay or John Komlos at
jonkat@cox.net
If you could scan the pictures and
e-mail them, that would be great.
If you cannot, please contact
Lindsay or John and they will make
arrangements to get them scanned.
Thanks for your help!!
The
upcoming school year provides a great opportunity
for parents to be involved with their student’s
activities. We will have many opportunities to have
a large number of people involved. This helps make
the year enjoyable and fun for everyone. In
addition to Band Camp there are home football games,
at least one away football game, competitions around
the Valley, in-state and out-of-state festivals, and
general support activities for all of our
performance groups.
Starting this year, the Scottsdale Unified School
District (SUSD) has implemented new requirements for
parent volunteers. On Thursday evening, July 20, SUSD
taped the
training session and a DVD will be made available to the Band Directors soon.
Chaperones that were unable to
attend on July 20th will need to view the
video and sign a document affirming that they have
viewed the video. Contact a Band Booster for
more information.
Arizona State Tax Credit
Did
you know that the Arizona State Tax Credit can help
you pay for a large portion of your band
activities? For example, SUSD has ruled that 100%
of Band Camp can be paid for with Tax Credit money.
And you don’t have to be the only one taking
advantage of the tax credit. Print out several
copies of the Tax Credit form from the band website
and take it to your friends, neighbors, or relatives
(not necessarily in that order). They can
contribute the maximum based on their tax status and
designate your Band student or the Band program as
the recipient. Then when filing the Arizona State
Income Tax for 2008, the money comes back as a
direct credit to the amount of taxes owed. It’s
simple, it’s painless, and everyone can feel a
little better about paying their income tax.
