Secretary - Patty Battin
Patty's going to finish out this year, we are looking for somebody to take over Patty's position next year.
VP Uniform - Lisa Cavanaugh
I have the same announcement that I would love somebody to take over for next year because I don't have enough time to do it all.
I will gladly help them, I just don't want to be the forerunner on that since I have two jobs.
I'm still straightening out uniforms from fall season.
I'm going to be making an announcement at some point in the band app to prioritizing those students going to Orlando to come in and get resized.
We are trying to figure out how to get their uniforms to Orlando.
Possibly vacuum sealed bags, so we can ship them and not have to deal with them at the airport.
VP Fundraising - Heather Buxton
We're passing around just the fundraising updates so you can kind of see where we're at.
It's always more than that number because we get checks all the time.
We just got Fred Meyers yesterday, that was $538.
To add Century band to your Fred Meyers app. Go to your account. Click on the little person in the top left corner. You scroll down to community rewards. You go to change or ad organization, Century High School Band.
You can also see how much your household contributed. So last quarter, my household contributed $4.69. Ask your parents, ask your neighbors, ask your friends if they don't have anything they could help us. They don't even have to live in Oregon. It just has to be Kroger affiliated store.
We got $5,000 for the last half of the last truck puller.
Next can drives, February 7th, March 7th, April 4th, May 16th, June 13th or 20th, and July 11th.
We can use more help during the week to pick up cans. It would be a great way to make some volunteer hours. Email cans4bands@centuryband.org

Volunteer Coordinator - Christina McClelland
Happy New Year to everybody and thank you. I can't say it enough. Every single time.
It was kind of fun today when I opened my email. The sign-up genius gave me a review of 2025. There were 87 sign-ups created, 247 people were organized according to that, and 1,337 either services or volunteer slots that were filled from all of our 2025 sign-ups.
The total recorded hours, 3,686.67. Two-thirds of an hour.
We have 56 families that have completed the 16 plus hours.
Reminder, if any of you work for Nike, Intel, US Bank, these businesses match, submit those hours and you might need someone to verify your hours. That would be me. I can verify your hours and give you my contact info if you don't have it already.
We have Pep Band, It's the student drum majors and leadership. The dates are coming up next week on January 20th There are 10 games on the schedule, five double headers. We're asking your student if they are in concert band, symphonic band, or wind ensemble.
I did not say percussion yet. We're asking them to do six games. If they can't do six games, there is a makeup they can do.
They can come to any games they want. They only get credit for the ones that they sign up for ahead of time on the sign-up genius.
If they are percussionist, then it's a little bit different. I just asked them not to sign up yet. We're looking at the schedule and we're going to say, the drumline is going to play out this game, this game, this game.
It's also in the Google Classroom for the class under Pep Band, including the sign up genius link.
League Jazz Festival on February 4th and it will be for both bands this year.
West Salem Jazz Festival on February 7th. Both jazz bands are playing at that.
There's a winter formal that night, too. IF we can get home earlier, we will. It looks like right now we should be able to get home by 6 o'clock.
Winter Guard and Winter Percussion first competition is February 21st.
Treasurer - Jason Keezel and Tom Thaxton
Payments are coming in, which is great. Thank you for all of you who have paid on time and put the checks in. That's fantastic.
I'm not checking the lockbox every day. It'll be two times a week and maybe once on the weekend.
Travel related, the final payment to World Strikes is due February. Then one more payment of $150 per person will be invoiced by me, due March 20th, and that's to help cover bag costs, getting the uniforms there, getting the instruments there, the smaller instruments there. And when I say smaller, I'm talking like trumpet that doesn't count as a carry-on or doesn't fit in a backpack.
Room assignments for students need to be requested by Friday. There's a list up in the band room. The parents have already been kind of divvied up into rooms, and that's been submitted to World Strides already.
Packing list will be sent out next month, but hot weather clothes and tennis shoes. We were just in Florida for Christmas. It was 80 degrees. So t-shirts, lightweight clothes, bring extra pairs of socks.
So that's something that we'll talk about at the mandatory meeting is that it is hot down there. It is humid. It is not like our weather here.
There is a trip meeting for parents and students tentatively on March 19th.
They finalized the flights.
Mr. Dunlop
The school is going to start charging us for using school buses. For the remainder of the year our anticipated part of paying for the the winter and none of this was budgeted because we weren't told at a time when we put in our budget, is going to be about $4,000. Because of our bylaws if it's more than if it's less than $1,000 then the board can just decide to add it to the budget if it's more than that then it needs to be brought up here and it needs to be voted on and it needs to get added to the budget. It was proposed that we increase the budget and seconded. We passed the proposal.
