CONCESSIONS - FIRST HOME GAME - AUGUST 28

August 24th, 2009

 

Concession Stand Volunteers,

Can you believe our first home game is less than a week away?

We will be at the school by 3 to start setting up. As you may have experienced, if you do not get in the gate before ~ 3:10 you may not be able to until close to 4. The gate police can be very authoritarian about letting any one through their gate. If you can arrive by 4:30 to help set up, we will definitely find work for you, but if you can’t come until later because of work we won’t complain. Please park in a parking space, not along the fence.

I know there have been times when it seems we are stepping on each other’s toes, but it would be much better to have too many workers than too few. With the redistricting this year, figuring out our sales will be interesting but what never changes is the faster we get folks served, the more we’ll sell, the faster we get folks through the lines the more will come back and spend more. There are some new workers this year and I’m hoping the “old” ones will step in and show them the ropes. Please do not send anyone away who offers to work, send him or her to me.

Half time is our busiest time. Please do not leave the concession stand during half time. If you wish to watch your student perform, plan on attending an away game or attend a competition.

Thank you for those that signed up and those regulars that will just show up. Our kids appreciate your hard work and dedication to enriching their band experience, as do I because without concessions, our band could not operate at the level it currently does.

If you have any questions or conflicts, feel free to call me  at 995-1555.
