Band Yearbook 2019-2020 Can You Help?
Hello Band Families and Students! The Band Yearbook is in production and slowly turning into a great photo collection of all our band events - from Marching Band to concert events to Winter Guard and Percussion (and then some!). Our book must be ready for print by mid-April and to help with this process, I always ask students and parents if they can help create a page in the book. It is all done online using Treering and very easy (and I will double check everyone's pages - so don't worry about making a mistake). What you contribute will be printed as part of the finished yearbook - to be viewed and enjoyed by everyone! But don't forget, if you order a yearbook - you still have your own "personal pages" to design anyway you like :-) If you are interested in helping, email me at: Just like last year, I will coordinate a "training" session for any that need it or want to work on their pages together. We have met at NC State, which we can do again, and you will just need to bring your laptop, power adapter and sense of fun! Or you can create your page from the comfort of your own home! Oh - and if you haven't ordered your yearbook yet...why wait? Here's the link on how to place your order: Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for any help you can provide! Susan Uy |

Please Check Your Fruit and Nut Order
Hi everyone, First we would like to send a BIG THANK YOU! to all the volunteers who came out Friday to help unload and sort fruit and nuts and prepare orders for those who participated in this fundraiser. It's just one day, but it takes many volunteers. Your help was greatly appreciated, and we had a lot of fun! Our fruit was in excellent condition this year! We processed about 2.75 TONS OF FRUIT (yes, you read that right!) and 500 nut items. All orders were triple checked, but we are human. If you picked up a fruit/nut order yesterday, remember to double check your items before your deliver to your customers. Please pay special attention to the following items as our final count was off by one of each of these. Navel oranges Large box is white with "SK " on the side. Small box is blue. Did you get a small box when you should have gotten a large one? Nut gift packs Peanut gift pack is in a red package with 3 cans. Chocolate nut gift pack is a green package with 2 cans. Did you get the right one and the right number? Please email us at fruit@athensdriveband.com ASAP with any discrepancies. Keep your eyes out for an email later this weekend about extras for sale. We have a very short window between delivery day and the holiday concert this year, so emails about extras and opportunities to get them will be few. Thanks for another great fruit/nut sale!
