Treasurer’s report
$1600 balance. We need to hit the fair share hard. Will get a nice increase with the proceeds from Gatornationals, as well as the upcoming Daytona trip (students must pay fair share in full in order to attend).
Fundraising
Cookie dough fundraiser ends today. We will do gift baskets for spring concert again. Mrs. Netardus will let us know more about that as the time gets closer. This is a big fundraiser. Chocolate bar fundraiser starts this week.
We need a new marimba (#4 needs to be replaced). We also need another set of vibes, both for next fall. Each cost approx. $3500. John Netardus suggested an alumni event – project specific drive to raise money. If someone is willing to take this on, Mr. Pirzer is fine with that. Could also do Donors Choose, which is a program for teachers to put needs on a site, and others donate. Donorschoose.org. Intern Nicole will check this out.
VP/ Volunteer Coordinator Report
Gatornationals
3/10 and 3/11 – all went well. Everyone showed up when they were supposed to, and did exactly what they were supposed to do. We had 43 people each day. Mr. Pirzer thanked Mike for coordinating the event. Santa Fe had more students. That may change next year.
Uniform Report
Adela says we are doing OK at this point in time. Tuxedo jackets will need to be cleaned after this season.
Next meeting: Monday, April 16th.
Meeting adjourned approximately 7:40pm.
