Morgantown High School
Band Auxiliary Minutes
September 4, 2007
The band meeting was called to order following the Food Handler’s Class by President Annette Sovastion. The treasurer’s report was distributed, reviewed and filed for the records. The minutes from the last meeting were posted on the website and sent out in email. There was one spelling correction: Elena Dooley should be spelled Elaina Duley. Apologies were expressed and accepted.

Concession Stand: sign up sheet was sent around for the remaining home games: Sept. 14, 28 and Oct. 5, 19.

Mr. Reed’s Report:
Friday’s Game: 9/7 at Fairmont. Please be in the band room by 5:00pm, buses load at 5:30pm and will likely return around 10:45pm. Please do NOT park on Edgewood. Wait until the buses have dropped off your child and then you may drive up to the band room door and pick up your child. Do not have your child walk up to another street to meet you…it is difficult to account for students when they walk away.
Fairmont Band Spectacular: same times – 5pm in band room, 5:30pm departure, 10:45 return
