Hello MTA Family. Here are a few updates and reminders:

-Our first official MTA meeting is September 17, 2013 at 6pm in the band room. To be discussed: establishing MTA as an organization, homecoming, committees, and more. Mr. Redding will also be there to share what he needs from us as alumni.

-Since our meeting is one day after the deadline for our contributions, I extended the deadline to September 17, 2013 to give you an opportunity to pay on that day.

-You can still make your $20 contributions online here, in person by contacting Kristina White, Dwayne "3D" Dickens, or myself (Audrey). You can also mail your contributions as well. Contact me (Audrey) for address at marchingtigeralumni@yahoo.com.

MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO MTA

Hello MTA Family. This year I am asking you to make a $20 contribution (which will be considered dues) toward MTA. In order for us to have some type of financial foundation so that we can do things as an organization, we need money. Your t-shirt payments will be included in the $20. Last year more than 70 people purchased t-shirts for homecoming. I'm asking for us to match the number of people, or greater, with our $20 contributions this year.

I've set up a Pay Pal account for those of you who would like to pay online. You also have the option to pay in person to either Kristina White, Dwayne "3D' Dickens, or myself. Since your payments will include your t-shirt payments, I'm asking for everyone to have all money in by September 16, 2013. [Your payments will also make you an official financial member of Marching Tiger Alumni]. Please look out for Homecoming events to be posted shortly. Pay Pal link here.

IT'S ALMOST THAT TIME...

UPDATES: ALUMNI BAND, HOMECOMING, AND MORE

Hello MTA Family. Here are the latest updates:


ALUMNI BAND
You can still sign up to march for homecoming or volunteer to help. Inbox me (Audrey) on FB or send an email to jhsbandalum@yahoo.com.

Marching Tiger Band Camp is the last week in July, first week in August. I'm working to have Alumni Band Camp coincide with Marching Tiger Band Camp. An alumni rehearsal schedule will also be made for the fall, leading to homecoming.

You will be responsible for your own instruments, maces, batons, and poles. We will not use any of the current band students' equipment.

I'm also verifying if we will be able to march pre-game, halftime, and parade. For pre-game and halftime, we will fall into the ranks and march back to our seats with the band when they are finished with their pre-game and halftime shows. For the parade: If we have enough people to march in our own band, we will. If not, I will see if we can march with the band.

Thank you to Kristina White, Stacey Ali, Lakendra Jackson, James Newton, Taron Foy, and Vannice Pickett who volunteered to help with coordinating the alumni band this year. These will be the people you can contact about marching, etc...once we get everything in place.

Please pass this information on to any alumni who is interested in marching this year.

MARCHING TIGER SUPPORT
We will be working throughout the year to help Mr. Redding, his staff, and the Marching Tigers. This is the primary purpose of MTA, to give back. I don't have a full calendar for the year but I will be updating you on events when our help is needed.

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
A membership committee has been formed. It will be headed by Kristina White and Dwayne "3D" Dickens. Kristina and 3D will be accepting information and dues for anyone interested in becoming a member of MTA.

DUES
I will be making an announcement about dues, how much they will be, etc...soon.

HOMECOMING
Homecoming is Friday, October 11, 2013

Events being planned: Meet & Greet and Tailgate. I'm considering adding one more event to our week's festivities.

If you would like to help with homecoming, please contact me (Audrey) on FB or jhsbandalum@yahoo.com. I will be over the Meet & Greet and will need help with the tailgate.

That's all for now. Looking forward to making MTA bigger and better, and to another great homecoming.

In Marching Tiger Spirit,
Audrey
