12/14/24 - Fruit Delivery Postponed to Sunday

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, the weather continues to be uncooperative.  Our truck in Iowa is completely iced in and will not be able to drive for most of the day.  Therefore, our delivery is postponed until TOMORROW, SUNDAY 12/15.

The timeline for tomorrow will remain the same as the original event today:

Unloading after 6:15am.

Sorting around 7:15am.

Pickup from 8:00am-12:00pm.

Cleanup starts around 11:30am.

Families: If at all possible, please make sure that your fruit is picked up tomorrow.  If you cannot make it in, consider finding another family for pickup.  If that's simply not possible, we will have a final pickup after school Monday.

Student Volunteers: If you can make your original shift, great!  If not, please come whenever you can to help out.  If you're completely unavailable, we understand.

Parent Volunteers: Same as students.  Please direct volunteer questions to mhsbopafruitsale@gmail.com

Thank you so much for your flexibility.  We're still looking forward to a great delivery day!  Please reach out to mhsbopafruitsale@gmail.com with any questions.  (But no need to email just because you can't pick up your fruit tomorrow!)

The show starts at  6:30 PM, and tickets are  "pay what you can" at the door (no advance or online ticket sales).

10/17/24 - A New Position is available with the Middleton Band Boosters

Dear Jazz Families,

We are looking to fill a new position with our Band Booster / Parent Organization. Please see the description below and sign up if interested.

Jazz Family Liaisons

New this year! The Middleton Band Boosters is asking a few families from each jazz band to volunteer as Family Liaisons. These families will host two social gatherings for their students' jazz band once each semester. Keep things simple and costs low with the focus on getting jazz students together for some low-key fun. As the jazz program continues to grow, we hope this creates meaningful connections and cohesiveness both on the concert stage and off. Please sign up by the end of October.
