Booster News
Sunday, May 5, we are hosting a Dining for Dollars event at Sidecar Slider Bar in Commerce! There will be a flyer you'll need to show in order for us to get credit, but we don't have it just yet. It should be posted on the website and on our Booster Facebook page sometime on Monday. The event will run all day, May 5. We will receive 20% of the proceeds from all qualifying (read: have your flyer!) purchases, including food, beverage AND carryout! So, next Sunday, don't cook! Come on out & have some really yummy food. Rumor has it both the Hulliberger and the Ward families will be there!
Boosters is looking for a couple of non-band parents (read: choir or orchestra!) to pick up carnations (pre-ordered/paid for) and pin them on senior band students on Thursday, May 23, beginning at about 615pm. A band parent took care of choir seniors, and another band parent will be handling the orchestra seniors. If you can help with this, please reach out to Beth Stockdale, bstockdale812@comcast.net.
The Walled Lake Northern Music program doesn't run well without the help of parents. We have an active Booster community that works hard to support band, choir and orchestra. For those who were active elementary parents and find themselves missing that environment, we would welcome your help with all things Booster! Our Booster board will be changing in the coming year - we're looking for someone to take on the role of President. Our choir and orchestra rep roles need filling as well. (These are people who assist the directors as needed and represent the program interests at Booster meetings.) So many important roles to fill... It's a great way to get involved, be 'in the know', and get to know people.
A common thing I'm hearing in online communities is how hard it is for us parents to make friends once our kids are older. I'm here to tell you Boosters was the answer for me! I've made some very good friends over the years. We've spent hours together, pouring water for marching band kids during camps and games; we've spent hours outfitting kids with uniforms (both concert & marching band!) and collecting them at the end of the year; we've fed the kids at camps and during the Collage concerts; we've prepped for marching band camp & gone to camp together. My last child will be graduating next year, and I know I've made lifelong friends on this road. It's a journey made much better by sharing it with others.
We're still looking for someone(s) to take over the Concessions chair role. If there is anyone interested in taking on this job, sooner is better than later so you can shadow our outgoing chairs, Joe & Katy Settecerri. You can let them know if you're interested by sending them an email: jksettecerri@msn.com. Additionally, the role of Booster president will be opening up at the end of next year at the very latest (sooner is better, though!) If you're looking for an opportunity to learn the ropes, let Beth Stockdale know, bstockdale812@comcast.net.

Concessions News
IMPORTANT: We've learned that our current concessions chairs will be unable to continue in this role. We need someone to step in and take over the mantle from them. It's a big job, but it's very manageable. Please, reach out to Joe & Katy Settecerri if you're interested in learning the ropes with the goal of taking the reins from them, jksettecerri@msn.com.
Our FINAL concession stand of the year is happening in just a couple of weeks, May 10-11. We once again need workers and donations. See our SignUp Genius to get in on the action!
Cookbooks
Hello music booster families! Thank you so much for all your support with our Music Booster Cookbook fundraiser! It was wildly successful. It seems we have more cook books left over than we should. Can you please contact Amy Walker and let her know if you have not received the books you ordered? I want to make sure everyone received what they purchased. We still have cookbooks for sale if anyone is interested they are $22 each! Please contact Amy Walker and let her know if you want one! Crazymomamy5@gmail.com
Young Americans
The Young Americans camp is coming to WLN this summer! This event is a fundraiser for the performing arts programs at WLN (NOT Boosters). If you have a student (grade 3-12) who likes to sing, act or dance, this is a great camp for them! For more information, see the flyer.
Marching Band

*** Please double check that you signed All forms before submitting or turning them in ( paper form).
Woohoo! Our Disney trip meeting is coming up on Weds., May 8, at 7pm in the WLN Auditorium. Information for the trip was handed out during Marching Band Registration.

What is Scrip? FAQ! Our Scrip program is an ongoing fundraiser. It runs all year, with order pickups on Thursday evenings in the Commons at WLN, 5:30p-6:30 Scrip is the ONLY way to accumulate fundraising funds specifically for your student! It's a great way to pay for camp,trips, lessons, or instrument repairs. Start accumulating your Scrip dollars now for those future big purchases! Please check out the Scrip page on our website for important enrollment information! We also have a new email address for Scrip questions/comments: wlnmusicboostersscrip@gmail.com Note: we can only accept cash or checks at the Scrip table.

One additional note: the lower grade limit in our Charms account has been adjusted to 7th grade, so if you have a middle school student who will be continuing in music in high school, you can get them registered in Charms now AND begin accruing funds for their use via Scrip.
