HHS BPA MEETING MINUTES
TUESDAY FEBRUARY 21, 2017
The monthly meeting of the HHS BPA was held on Tuesday February 21, 2017 in the band room. Margaret Turner called the meeting to order at 7:04
Margaret Turner, President
Margaret offered thanks for all help given during pre-MPA activities last week. She then went over the schedule for MPAs as included in the night’s agenda. She pointed out that a $5.00 box lunch from Jason’s will be offered and the band will bring other snacks and water. The VP for Chaperones will send out a Sign Up Genius chaperones.
Stuart Ivey, Director
Mr. Ivey encouraged all to come enjoy the band’s stage performances at MPA. The site reading session will not be open to the public. MPA is the most important band event of the year and attendance is mandatory. Comments from the Pre-MPA performance were all positive and the band is in good shape.
Sherry Seals-Tonini, 1st VP Chaperones
No report.
Jennifer Applebaum and Ernie Limbo, 2nd VPs Fundraising
Jennifer reported that the band did well with the coupon book fundraiser. We sold 119 books and made just under $1,500.00 for the band. If you have not gotten your book yet, it is probably because your student has not brought it home and it is in Mr. Ivey’s office. Margaret Turner reported that the band made over $1,500.00 from the pre-MPA ticket sale.
Susan Boothe, Treasurer
Susan pointed out that the budget/financial report is on the back of the agenda.

She thanked parents for returning band uniforms clean and in good shape. Mr. Ivey added that boys can get tuxedo shirts at Hobby Lobby for about $13.00 with a coupon.

You can send any other pictures you want to send.
Margaret opened up the floor for questions and a question was asked about how block scheduling will affect band. Mr. Ivey lead a discussion about that topic and Margaret closed the meeting by stating that the Nominating Committee will present the slate of officers for next year at March’s meeting and it will be voted on in April.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:30.
