Concert Uniforms – Uniforms need to be cleaned the cost is approximately $425 to $450.  This must be done soon.  It can not put off until July.  Motion was made to clean the tuxedo.  All approved.  The girls concert pants need to be washed are there any volunteers??  We are making new shirts for the girls anyone with sewing ability??

 

It will be real tight to match uniforms for incoming band members there may not be enough. The question was posed should we size in June? Gloves are paid for by the Boosters.  We need to lock them up.  Kids found them!!!  Shoes need to be addressed.  Bleacher covers are needed.  Sherwin Williams may donate disposable carpet runner for bleachers.
