Hello Nation Ford High School Band Parents!!!

 

Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Jefflyn Covington and Julianne Best and we are the co-chairs for Nation Ford HS Band Camp this year. We would love to give you a little information about camp. As you've already heard, there are lots of ways to help!!!!

 

CHAPERONING

Days/Hours Needed:

• Monday, 8/03 thru Thursday, 8/06: 8:30am - 11:30am and 6:00pm - 9:00pm

• Monday, 8/10: 8:30am - 11:30am

• Tuesday, 8/11: 8:30am - 11:30am and (approximately) 1:00pm - 3:00pm

Chaperones are needed to be outside with the students while they practice. Volunteers can work the whole time or part of the time, whichever fits your schedule best. We set up tents, keep water supplied and give general assistance to band students (It gets hot!!). If you would like to volunteer to help, you may call JEFFLYN at 547-3114 or e-mail to Jefflyn@comporium.net. Please indicate the days and hours you are available to work.

 

HOSPITALITY/SERVING MEALS

• Friday, 8/07: 11:00am - 1:00pm

• Monday, 8/10 - Tuesday, 8/11: 11:00am - 1:00pm

Hospitality volunteers help set up and serve meals, drinks, and clean up after meals.  Also, we are fortunate again this year that Shannon Nash has gotten cookie and brownie mix donated to us. Volunteers will also be needed to bake these desserts.  For those of you who would like to help with hospitality, either by helping to serve or by baking, you may call JULIANNE at 802-7707 or e-mail to ajbest@comporium.net.  Please indicate the days and hours you are available to work (or bake).
