Fund-Raising-Budget Issues-Schedule and Plans for Future:
Our School District, along with many others among us, have been faced with difficult financial issues. While our district is strongly supportive of our program, the current budget issues will have an effect on our program. Our supply budget was frozen in December and the Band and Athletic Booster Clubs were asked to cover all transportation costs for the remainder of the year. While we are unsure and apprehensive of what projected future state cuts will mean for our program, we remain committed to moving forward with all of our plans for all of our winter programs. Next years plans include travel for both the Jazz Ensemble and Chamber Winds. Specific plans will follow soon.
In the last couple of years, we have conducted a spring onion sale that supplemented our budget for the last spring and summer. This fund raiser will take on a new importance as we look ahead to maintaining and continuing to provide the very best for everyone. With everyone’s support, we remain confident that we can reach our goals for continued success. We will need everyone to help in every way possible, as we will not be able to spend money on repairs or accessories (reeds, valve oil etc..) as we have in the past. We will plan as we always do for another spring and fall, including all of the usual trips and competitions. We will also keep our options open for larger trips, as we continue to receive invitations from events such as the Citrus and Gator Bowls and even the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade.
While we will have to work harder and conserve, we feel that working together and supporting each other we will emerge stronger individually and collectively. We welcome and encourage all ideas and thoughts as we continue to plan ahead for our program.
