Greetings A.I. duPont H.S. Band Families
Saludos Familias de Band de AI DuPont High School,
Homecoming weekend is coming THIS WEEKEND! First and foremost please help me thank Chrissy Cesario and Stephanie Simpson for their tireless effort in making sure our students have a great time at Homecoming this weekend – and for the past few years!! Even after the hours of organizing this event, and making the decorations that now need to be set up in the gym lobby, I am amazed and grateful for all the shifts they have signed themselves up for on the sign-up genius for working this weekend to set-up and tear down. Please help me alleviate some of the work for them by volunteering an hour or two here and there if you can.
We need help – PLEASE!
Follow this link and see the various jobs we need filled. Even if you can only help a little, we would be VERY grateful. Your effort would help the students very much!
On the link you will see what we still need help with. Here is a summary:
1)      Friday night (tomorrow) we need help putting up decorations in the gym lobby. This is great for people who can “hang things here”… “tape things there”… “attach these to the ceiling”, etc. The crew starts at 5:00pm, then runs out at half-time to see the band (OF COURSE! 😊) Then goes back to work until about 10:00pm. Even if you cannot work the entire shift, please sign up to help a little.
2)      Saturday morning – Round 2 of setting up the decorations. The crew will be working from 9:30am until finished – 1:30pm maybe? So, if you have a couple of hours that you can help and are not a night-owl to help during or after Homecoming, please sign up! Again, this is just hanging and taping decorations here and there in the gym lobby.
3)      During Homecoming Dance Saturday night – We need help in the concession stand and/or the coat check room during the dance 6:30pm to 10:00pm. Even if you can help a few hours, please sign up here.
4)      Tear down after the dance Saturday night – Come help us 10:00pm – 11:00pm to take down the decorations (much faster the setting up!) and restoring the gym lobby back to it’s natural state. If you ARE a night-owl, and the thought of coming in at 9:30am to help set up was too early, or you have things planned during the day, this is a great opportunity to help!
Thank you to everyone who has helped so far, and to those who are helping this weekend. The kids really enjoy themselves at the dance, and it is a credit to the volunteers who work behind the scenes to make such an event so successful.
I look forward to seeing you all very soon!
Thank you!
Chris
Sincerely,
Chris Hewlett, President
