Yard Sale Update!!

Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the yard sale. This year was a great success. We made over $450.00. That is way cool. Thank you to Kyrie's family for letting us use the Snow Shack also. I think that was a wonderful idea. I think the cake raffle was a great idea also but if we do another one we can plan it out differently, to where we make more and sell more tickets and we need to put them in a cooler. LOL!!! Overall I think that everyone had fun, and we will continue to get more fundraisers going.And pictures from the yard sale will be posted shortly too!!! As far as I know we are starting car washes ever other Tuesday and they will be in July. I will get confirmation on that tho. It will be after practices on Tuesdays probably until 7 MAYBE!!! I'm not positive. Once it gets all figured out everyone will be informed!!! Thanks

Notes from the meeting!!

ColorGuard Meeting 6/16/10

* Costume Designed was discussed and approved. A mini-committee was formed to get these made. We just need to set up a time to get them done.

* Fund Raising...Maryann Hansen has graciously agreed to be the Chair of this committee (Thank you tons for that). She will be putting together details on the ideas we discussed & will get that out for everyone in the near future. Possible fund raisers include: Chico Bags, Arby's, Taco Johns, Pulling Weeds, Dance (during school) Fun Run, Car Washes, Teddy Bears (to be sold at games by blankets).

* YARD SALE is set for Sat. 6/26/10 at 436 W. Young, Pocatello From 8am to 3pm April will be putting it in the newspaper on Sun. 6/20. Everyone is asked to price their own items. Items can be dropped off at April's home anytime 6/20-2/25. There will also be a cake raffle - so all guard members are asked to bring a cake to be raffled off. The SnoShack will also be running throughout the sale too. After practice on Tues. 6/22 the guard will be making signs to hang up in various places to advertise. April's phone # is 339-8111 if you have any questions regarding the sale. GUARD CONFIRMED TO BE THERE: ChaAnn, Alyssa, Sheila, Zowie, Lizzie, Bree, Austin, Kinzie, Kyrie, Hayley K., Hailey H.

* Dance lessons are not going to be happening. Kayla has helpers who will be teaching dance at the practices so there will be no extra cost for this! Yeah.

* Jordan's Dad has offered to rebuild our trailer & make us a flag/rifle cart!! A HUGE THANK YOU GOES TO HIM!!!!!

* RIFLES - they have arrived and they are beautiful! Rifle tryouts will be Friday 6/18/10 at practice.

* BLOG - phscolorguard.blogspot.com Kayla will share all information on this blog, so please make sure to check it regularly. It'll keep us all posted in between meetings.

* Color Guard Clinic. Required items to bring: pen, paper, & lots of water (a jug), hat/bandanna, sunglasses, sunscreen, a blanket/towel or sheet, black electrical tape and white electrical tape if you made rifle line, lunch! Do NOT wear jeans - wear comfortable clothes to exercise in. 6/22/10 from 8-2 with lunch from 11:00-11:30. 6/23/10 from 8-2 (Rifles go 8:00-10:30 with lunch 10:30-11:00. Flags join them at 10:50 - 2:00pm. Very important to be at these clinic dates! Huge advantage to have instructor help with skills.

* Band Meeting followed with good discussion on show. Decision was to have Halo go first and Raging Machines go last. Constructive discussion to break into work groups and assign heads for tasks. If you were asked to come up with a prototype - please have ideas to Mr Beckstead and Kayla within next couple weeks.

Hope this was very helpful information!! If you have any questions give me a call or send and email!! Thank you!!!

Yard Sale!!!

So we have decided that the yard sale is going to be June 26 at 436 West Young from 8~3. You may get a hold of Kinzie Baker to talk about when you can drop your stuff off and how soon you can drop it off.You do need to price the stuff yourself if you want credit for it. If it don't have a price on it, it will go into the colorguard acct. Also we are going to be doing a cake raffle, and ask that everyone that can be there to bake a cake(or yes you can buy one)and we will sell the raffle tickets for 2 dollars then at the end of the yard sale we will do the drawing!! Also I think it was mentioned about having the snow cone shack at the yard sale too! This will be discussed in the meeting on the 16th. Thanks

Colorguard/Band Meeting

June 16 in the Auditorium at Poky at 6pm. That is just for the parents/students of colorguard. At 7pm the band parents are going to show up.(they have to drop their kids off anyway for practice) Those of you who are willing and plan on helping you need to come prepared with calendars so that we can decide on the mini meetings that will need to happen. Also the mini groups!!! Thanks!

Change of practice location!

So I decided that having access to inside the school would be easier, then not having it at all. So practices will now be at Poky instead of Irving, until further notice. We may eventually run into a problem the later the summer gets but as of right now that is where practices will be. Still Tuesday and Wednesday 8-11 and Friday 9-12. EXCEPT Wednesday the 16th practice will only go until 10am because I have a meeting at 11am that I cannot miss. Have them still bring water and snacks and sunscreen(in case we go outside). Also just a heads up for the Clinic on June 22&23 practice will go from 8-2 and they will get a lunch break so they do need to bring lunches those 2 days. Any questions call or email me!!

June 8

Hey guys remember we have practice at 8 am Tuesday morning at Irvin on the track. Make sure that you bring water and a snack so that you don't get dehydrated or sick. Also make sure you bring sunscreen, you are welcome to wear a hat if you want. I don't really care what you wear just as long as you are comfortable in it. Be ready to work hard over the next few weeks!! I am excited. We will also be discussing fundraisers and stuff that are going to happen soon!! I will see you guys Tuesday!!

Rifles!!

So the rifles have been ordered and hopefully they will be here next week sometime!!! I am so excited for you guys to use them. Anyone is able to try out for the rifle line. Let me just make this clear to everyone because I think there may be some confusion. Everyone will be doing flag and dance but there is going to be a rifle feature in the show and that is going to be whoever makes the rifle line. So if you just want to stick with flag that is fine. But in the show there may be 3 groups which will be some flag, some dance, and some rifle. I don't know yet at this point. But I promise you that if you try out for rifle and make it you will love it. It is a hard piece of equipment to learn but you will be so glad that you learned it!!!! Anyways I am so excited!!!! I will see all of you next week!!!
