Hopefully everyone is having an enjoyable Holiday! It is time to begin looking forward to 2012 (can you believe it?) and checking our calendar for availability to volunteer at the Tacoma Dome on the weekend of January 13th at 8pm, 14th at 2pm and 8pm and 15th at 1pm. These are the dates for the Monster Truck and we are in need of YOU! The OPABC needs to provide a minimum of 6 volunteers per show. All YOU need is your current food handlers permit, a valid alcohol license and a willing spirit.. and maybe some comfortable shoes. :)
There have been a few step forward, if this is you, mark your calendar. January 13th: Kevin H, Melanie E (possibly), Michael M, and Tanya N. We still need 2 -3 more helpers for the 13th. January 14th: Kevin H (both shows?), Trina H and Melanie E. We could use 2-3 more for both shows on the 14th. January 15th: Michael M. We need 5 more volunteers for this show!
Please email me as soon as possible if you are available so that we can be certain who will be helping us. Thanks for all your support.

Somebody Asked.
Dear OPABC supporters,
The question has be brought up, by more than one individual, questioning who it is that the Orting Performing Arts Booster Club (OPABC) really exists to support. Is it the band? The choir? Perhaps the dance team or maybe even the cheer team?
To this question I want to state that the Orting Performing Arts Booster Club completely supports ALL student groups, performing arts related or otherwise, due to the fact that we completely support the STUDENTS of Orting. We believe that EVERY student in Orting has the potential to be amazing and deserve EVERY drop of support that they can get from us as their parents and as a community.
With that being said, does the OPABC support all of the many diverse groups in our District financially? Of course not.
When the OPABC first began as a group of about 7 parents, we had joined together hoping that there would be other groups, ie. choir, dance, that would want to join with us in support of the Youth in our District. Which was only part of the reason we chose to name our organization the ORTING PERFORMING ARTS BOOSTER CLUB and not just the "Band Boosters". Over time when our attempts to court the Choir Director failed and the practices of a previous dance coach were questionable it became obvious that we would be going it alone as a Club. Not to mention that the Dance team and Cheer groups have started their own booster clubs. (If you attended meetings this would mostly be old info. for you.)
A discussion was brought up a few years ago to change to only a "Band" Booster. This idea also fell by the wayside as there was a "Band Booster" many years ago that failed for some dishonest reason and we felt it was better to not be in any way considered a part of that organization.
We as a Booster Club are still small in size, averaging only about 15 individuals at our monthly meetings, despite sending reminders to over 70 people each month. Yet, while our numbers may be few our dreams for the children in our neighborhoods are not. We completely support, physically, mentally, emotionally and financially, the OHS and OMS band groups and their fabulous conductor Mr. Ruff.
It is the intend of the Orting Performing Arts Booster Club to continue to do all that we can to show our support for the great kids in our schools, irregardless of group affiliation, but most importantly to do what we can to financially aid the Bands in their pursuit of excellence.
If you are not all ready doing so we would encourage you to get involved, either with the OPABC or one of the other great parent groups in Orting. There is so much that we as parents can do to give not only our children but EVERY child in our schools the opportunity to be as amazing as they possibly can.

We are holding a class for anyone interested in obtaining their alcohol serving license to help us with the fund-raiser at the Tacoma Dome. Class starts at 6pm and costs $30. Please bring your photo ID and you need to know your Social Security number. We are meeting in the Band room at OMS. Hope to see you there.

Looking for help..
The Orting Performing Arts Booster Club is in need of a few people to help out on Saturday, April 9th. We will have a table set up in town to sell our sweatshirts and other items, including our brand new mascot t-shirts. We need some ONE person to assist from Noon to 3 and ONE person to help from 3:00pm until the parade is over (about 6pm). This could be the same GREAT person. Let us know as soon as possible if you can help. (Don't just assume someone else will do it...) Thanks to Tanya, Trina, Tudie and Brenda for volunteering to help us!
Also, we as a Booster club have been presented with the possibility of a great fundraiser that could potentially bring in thousands of dollars a year to support our kids. All we need to do as a Booster Club is have several dedicated individuals willing to step up (the more the easier for all). This fundraiser involves selling concessions at the Tacoma Dome during certain Friday/Saturday concerts throughout the year. (Yes, this is the fundraiser that the Partnership School has been doing.) The real only requirement is that to participate we need every individual to obtain a food handlers permit (can be done on-line and costs about $15) and if possible a liquor license (this requires a class and costs about $35, if we had enough interested we can set up a class and do it as a group.) This would be a GREAT way to raise money and help our kids. Further details..dates, etc. .... will come later.. if we have enough interested.
Please respond to this email. Volunteer to help on Saturday, April 9th. Let us know if you are interested in the Tacoma Dome fundraiser. Thanks.

Please contact us and let us know how you want to help out.
