New Uniforms
Our new uniforms arrived last week and are waiting to be inventoried and racked up! Thanks to all the parents who have volunteered to help inventory and organize our new uniforms. If you are interested in helping with that, please email vicepresident@foothillmusic.org. We will also need help fitting the students traveling to Disneyland. That will be our first official performance in our new uniforms. Stay tuned as we will be doing photo-shoots of our students in these uniforms in the coming weeks.
FHS Winter Show
The Foothill Winter Show at Amador Valley High School was an incredible success! While still calculating the numbers, we raised a solid amount for next year! The Winter Show was a success due to all the wonderful parents and students that made the time to volunteer and help. Our community continues to embody our hashtag #WeAreFoothill, and I am grateful for all of you.
Disneyland and LA Trip
This year’s trip to Disneyland and LA is coming in a few short weeks! We leave on Thursday, 4/20, and return on Sunday, 4/23. Please expect a meeting invite as we will be holding an informational meeting. We will also be sending the itinerary out soon.
Winter Guard and Percussion Community Show 3/30 at FHS
We will host the Winter Guard and Winter Percussion Community show on 3/30 at 7p in the FHS Large Gym. Family and Friends from Dublin High and AVHS will be coming to Foothill to showcase their Winter Guard, and Winter Percussion shows to our communities. We do need help with concessions, so please keep an eye out for more information.
Winter Guard Championships
We are coming close to the end of the Winter season! Winter Guard will be at championships this weekend, 4/1, at Rodriguez High. Please extend your best wishes to them that they have an incredible performance!
End-of-Year Banquet and Awards
This celebration is coming up in May, so stay tuned for updates! As always, we need your help setting up, running the banquet, and cleaning up.
Executive Board Positions for ’23-’24
With the new school year coming up, we have several positions opening up on our board—specifically Vice President and Secretary. If you are genuinely interested in being part of our incredible team that helps drive initiatives for the success of our kids, the directors, and the music program, please consider this. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly at president@foothillmusic.org
Fair-Share Donation and Corporate Matching
A thank you to everyone who has made their fair-share donations. If you continue to pay your fair-share contributions, thank you as well! If you are still looking to make those payments, you still have time before the end of the year. Also, please check with your workplace to see if they offer charitable corporate matching. That helps a ton with our annual fundraising as well.
Call to Action
We have many items coming up that we need your help with. Please review the list below and email me at president@foothillmusic.org or Lara at vicepresident@foothillmusic.org to let us know how you can help.
