PRESIDENT- Christina Saribay

Fireworks/Fundraising

- Fireworks booth is the biggest fundraiser (last year $11,000; this year stock increased by 30%). Meeting 6/13 @ 7:00 PM at Rock Creek Church to review product, delivery, tent and operational plan to finalize details

- Operations plan: build wooden boards, chicken wire sides for full exposure on Cornelius Pass; Jared will assist with display build.

- Overnight coverage required (booth cannot be unattended). Band pays $100/night for overnight worker slots. Generators must run continuously to power AC/coolers.

- Cash handling: team needs a rotation for money pickup during the day; if large cash inflows occur, plan bank drops. 

- Volunteer/build help requested for prop/build tasks and extra hands for setup

- Financial outlook: last year ~$11,000 revenue; vendor increase of 30% aims to make this a major contributor to bus/transport costs.

- Fundraising pipeline: can drive timing discussed for June/July/August with a goal to run another push in June to maximize funds.

- Email Ryan Pietrich to discuss Parks & Rec cooperation, transportation/stipend expectations and whether district funding can offset costs

TREASURERS- Jason Keezel & Tom Thaxton

Budget

- Fireworks expected to be a major fundraiser to help cover bus/transport costs; target to capture additional revenue this season.

- Current budget considerations:

- Trailer: target budget $3,500–$4,000 to host Color Guard trailer (buying/allocating a trailer saves future U-Haul/gas costs). Moved and seconded.

- Scholarship / student fund: ~$4,500 in a separate student scholarship fund available for camps.

- Camps support: proposal to offset leadership/drum-major camp costs — suggested approach:

-Offer partial subsidy (example proposals discussed: $100 per student for leadership, drum-major support up to $300 per major) rather than full coverage. Moved and seconded.

- Private/small group lessons to support brass proposed: Make subsidies conditional on student commitment (parents pay a portion, e.g., $25/lesson for private lessons) to ensure "skin in the game."  Plan small-group or back-to-back one-on-one lessons to reduce per-family cost. Max budget of $2000 proposed and seconded.

- Keep fundraising targets and budgets: aim to remain within $3,500–$4,000 for trailer purchase and cap camp subsidies.


Jim Dunlop 

Camps, lessons and summer training

- Jazz Academy: scheduled July 6–17 (announced). Promote to families now (band app links) because summer calendars fill fast.

- Leadership camp (three-day program at West Salem): planned in mid/late July; proposal to subsidize qualified leadership students; consider up to $100 per leadership student and $300 per drum-major to offset costs depending on sign-ups.

- Brass/trumpet support: proposal to hire a brass teacher for a weekly block (e.g., 6-hour block or multi-week package) and offset cost by parent contributions (e.g., parents pay $25/lesson)

- Mr McKelvey Jazz party. June 9.

Decisions / communications

- Cancel this week’s parent meeting; communicate via band app and other channels that the official parent meeting is postponed and that a summer/early-August meeting (ice-cream social) will be scheduled instead.

- Presell yearbooks next year 

- Schedule a parents meeting early August to announce the show/uniform pick-up timeline and onboarding for new-season volunteers.
