Seminole High School Band

Parents,

We have an urgent need for the next several weeks (until it really gets cold) for people to help with the snow cone machine after school.  This means arriving at the school a half hour before dismissal and working until 45 minutes to an hour after dismissal.  There are kids (and band directors) who will help, but we really need a couple of parents to step up and help out.  Only need one parent per day, but we do have 5 days in a week.  Please let me know if you can help out.

Thank you sooooooo much!

Cherie Heckford

I know it seems too hot, but it’s that time of year and the holidays are quickly approaching.  The Band will be selling many items that will make wonderful holiday gifts for your family and friends.  We will soon have our “Savoring Seminole” cookbooks available for pre-sale.  There are many great recipes donated by our Seminole Band family.  The book will be a great keepsake with lots of band photos included.

Our Spirit Wear also makes wonderful gifts.  You can purchase the Spirit Wear at every home football game and we also have information regarding the Spirit Wear available online (see Fundraisers page).  We now have t-shirts, sweat shirts, hats, visors, shorts, etc.  The letterman jackets are a great gift idea for your student as well (order form available under here).

The band will also be selling portraits of your band students (taken by our awesome photo committee).  The portraits will be available for a $5 donation and come in an acrylic frame.  Seniors will receive their matted photos as a gift from the band.

And don’t forget about our Christmas tree fundraiser!  You can buy a beautiful Christmas tree from the SHS band.  Look for details on the Fundraisers page of the web site.

Happy Shopping!
