2008 31st Annual Division I State CHAMPIONSHIP Competition TO: THE GREATEST GROUP OF BAND BOOSTERS IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE!

THIS IS JUST A REMINDER THAT THE DIVISION I STATE MARCHING BAND COMPETITION IS HOSTED BY THE RIVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL BAND BOOSTERS AND BAND MEMBERS. THIS IS AN ALL DAY EVENT ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 1ST, AND WE NEED EVERYONE TO BE INVOLVED IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER.

LAST YEAR WE HAD 27 BANDS FROM ACROSS THE STATE OF TENNESSEE ATTEND. THERE WILL BE MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND STUDENTS AND AT LEAST THREE THOUSAND ADULTS COMING TO CHEER THEIR CHILDREN ON. THEY WILL START TO ARRIVE AROUND 7:00 A.M. AND START TO LEAVE AROUND 10:30 P.M. AS WITH ANY GUESTS COMING TO YOUR HOME, THEIR NEEDS WILL HAVE TO BE TENDED TO .

ALL RIVERDALE BAND STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO WORK,  AS WELL AS AT LEAST ONE ADULT FROM EACH FAMILY.
THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN HOST THIS EVENT WITHOUT THE INVOLVEMENT OF ALL OF US!  THE RIVERDALE BAND BOOSTERS AND BAND MEMBERS HAVE PUT ON A CLASS "A" CONTEST IN THE PAST YEARS AND IT IS OUR DUTY TO UPHOLD THE REPUTATION THEY WORKED SO HARD TO EARN.

PLEASE MAKE PLANS TO ATTEND OUR NEXT BOOSTER MEETING. WE HAD THE SIGN-UP SHEETS FOR THE WORK AREAS AT OUR LAST MEETING, BUT NOT ALL OF YOU HAVE SIGNED UP YET! YOU WILL BE CONTACTED SOON BY PHONE TO SERVE IN SOME CAPACITY OR ANOTHER, SO PLEASE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO "PICK" YOUR COMMITTEE BEFORE THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE MADE! THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN UP FOR DIFFERENT JOBS DURING CLASS AND MRS. REED WILL COORDINATE THE STUDENT ASSIGNMENTS, WHICH WILL BE POSTED IN THE BAND ROOM.

WE WILL NEED TO BE VIGILANT IN TRYING TO SELL ADS FOR THE PROGRAM, AS WELL AS TROPHY SPONSORSHIPS. THE TROPHY SPONSORS WILL BE LISTED IN THE PROGRAM, WHICH WILL BE NICE EXPOSURE FOR THOSE PEOPLE, AND BUSINESSES WILL GET STATEWIDE EXPOSURE WITH THEIR AD. PLEASE GET COPIES OF THE AD FORMS (AVAILABLE ON LINE AT  (www.riverdaleband.com) AND MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE YOU MIGHT KNOW, CORPORATE OR FAMILY THAT COULD PLACE AN AD OR SPONSOR A TROPHY. (SEE ENCLOSED AD EXAMPLES)

THE SUCCESS WE HAVE IN AD SALES AND TROPHY SPONSORSHIPS DIRECTLY AFFECTS OUR PROFIT MARGIN FOR THIS FUNDRAISER, SO IF EVERYONE COULD MAKE ONE OR TWO CONTACTS, IT COULD MAKE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE IN THE FINAL OUTCOME.

PARENT AND GRANDPARENT ADS ARE ALSO FOR SALE. MANY FAMILIES LIKE TO WISH THEIR CHILDREN THE BEST THROUGH PRINT THAT CAN BE KEPT FOR YEARS TO COME. PICTURES CAN ALSO BE PLACED WITH THE AD. A FORM FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AT THE BOOSTER MEETING AND AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE. THE DEADLINE FOR ALL ADS TO BE TURNED IN IS OCT. 3, 2008. PLEASE PUT YOUR AD FORMS WITH THE MONEY IN THE BOOSTER BOX.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP IN PREPARING FOR THIS COMPETITION. FRESHMAN PARENTS, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO BECOME INVOLVED IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE RIVERDALE WARRIOR BAND. PLEASE DON'T BE SHY! WE ARE A FAMILY AND IT TAKES ALL OF US INDIVIDUALLY DOING OUR PART TO MAKE THE "BAND EXPERIENCE" THE BEST EXPERIENCE FOR OUR CHILDREN!
