Dear Trinity Band Family,
It’s Texas Independence Day!
Hope everyone survived (enjoyed?) the blast of winter weather.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at the Band Booster Meeting tomorrow night. Attached are the meeting minutes from the February meeting for review.
If you can contribute any of the items noted below, please bring them to the meeting.
If your student has had a growth spurt and will likely need new vipers (marching shoes) next year, please consider donating his/her old marching shoes. All sizes are kept on hand for loaning out during emergencies. Vipers also double as dress shoes during concert season. When unexpected circumstances arise (and they do!), your student can check in his/her street shoes, and check out a pair of vipers! This is a great service, and we appreciate everyone who is able to contribute. Seniors are welcome to donate shoes, gloves, wicking shirts – we always need extras! And anytime you are out shopping and see a sale on black socks, please consider picking up a pack for the uniform closet. Black socks are priceless year round – they are just as important during concert season!

LOG YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS! http://schoolctr.hebisd.edu/education/dept/dept.php?sectiondetailid=47992&
What can you earn for those hours?
BADGES: The first year a volunteer works more than 100 hours, they will receive a name badge. The year a volunteer earns a badge, they are not eligible for pins. The badge is their recognition for the year.
PINS: Once a volunteer has earned a badge, they can earn pins in the next VIPS year.
Red Apple: 100-499 hours
Silver Apple: 500-999 hours
Gold Apple: 1000+ hours
Volunteers who have filled their badge with pins will be eligible for a new volunteer service bar in lieu of a pin.
And of course, everyone’s hours together will help us bring the traveling trophy back to Trinity. It’s just one more way to Beat Bell!
KEEP ON LOGGING!
