The first Scrip order to raise funds for the Disney trip is due TUESDAY, MAY 1.  The detailed instructions on how to place an order are found on the attached document.

Please send your order form plus check to:

Jocelyn Alford
4820 Galway Dr
Dublin, OH 43017

Simplest method is to send your order through the mail to me.  I must receive your order by 4:30 May 1, for the order to be placed right away.

You are welcome to drop your order off to my house.  Please call me ahead of time to ensure I am home.  659-0736.  PLEASE DO NOT leave any orders in my mailbox or at my front door.

FYI, I will be out of town all day SUNDAY.  I will also be leaving the house 4:30 Tuesday afternoon;  hence deadline is actually 4:30 May 1, instead of 5:00.

Please contact me with any questions.

Thanks,

Jocelyn Alford

One of our band parents noticed that Columbus Monthly magazine is holding their voting for the “best of” in Columbus. One of the categories is “Best HS Marching Band” (Grove City won last year). If you want to vote for the Coffman Band, go to “Vote for Best of Columbus” at  columbusmonthly.com and fill out a ballot! Voting ends April 30th.

UNIFORM TURN-IN
Band uniform turn-in will be on SATURDAY, MAY 5, 2012. Juniors and Seniors will turn-in their uniforms from 9:00am-10:30am; Freshman and Sophomores will turn-in their uniforms from 10:30am-12:00pm.

Please read the attached instructions CAREFULLY and THOROUGHLY. Some things to remember:

- Now is a good time to prepare your uniform for Turn In.  Some items need several days to drip-dry, so this cannot all be accomplished the night before Turn In.

- All items MUST be returned CLEAN. This includes Hat Boxes, Cross Belts, Citation Cords, Gauntlets, White Bib Pants and Garment Bags. Items will be inspected before you leave. (Exception:  Green Competition Jackets should not be washed.)

- Dry Cleaning the Cross Belt Uniform is MANDATORY! Remember to keep your dry cleaning receipt as proof.

- Removing the hems from uniform pants and jackets is MANDATORY.

- If your student purchased any additional items during the school year, please be PREPARED TO PAY for these items (cash or check is accepted) on May 5.

NOTE TO RETURNING BAND STUDENTS: Please make a note of the sizes of your current uniforms & cross belt for uniform issue in August and include if the fit is small/large/just right. Bring the note with you to uniform issue in August. This will assist with a faster, more efficient uniform issue!

- VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED TO ASSIST WITH UNIFORM TURN-IN! Hours are 8:30am to 12:30pm. May 5.  Please go to www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C0949ACAA22A46-uniform to sign-up (or search by email address apenn9876@columbus.rr.com at the Sign-Up Genius website: www.signupgenius.com).  Please email Jocelyn Alford (jocelynpalford@columbus.rr.com) or Amy Penn (apenn9876@columbus.rr.com) if you have any questions.

- VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED TO WASH GREEN COMPETITION JACKETS! We need 20 people to wash 10 jackets each. If you could take 10 jackets home with you May 5 to wash and return them Monday, May 7 between 7:00 and 8:00pm, it would be a great help.  Please go to www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C0949ACAA22A46-uniform to sign-up (or search by email address apenn9876@columbus.rr.com at the Sign-Up Genius website: www.signupgenius.com).  Please email Jocelyn Alford (jocelynpalford@columbus.rr.com) or Amy Penn (apenn9876@columbus.rr.com) if you have any questions.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

The first annual DCHS Band Mattress Sale was a huge success! We sold 43 Mattresses, generating right around $4,000 – a great number for our first ever sale! With our inability to purchase any new instruments last year and possibly this year, this mattress sale will help address important needs for our band students at Dublin Coffman High School.

THANK YOU to the parent volunteers who supervised the students on the street corners in the cold!

THANK YOU to anyone who helped spread the word about the sale, and got people in the door!

and last but not least, THANK YOU to anyone who BOUGHT A MATTRESS!
