Columbia Concert Band Board Meeting Minutes –Mar. 29, 2004

The meeting began at 9:20 PM.

President’s report:

Roger was out of town, so Maurice presided over the meeting.

Treasurer’s report:

Maurice distributed copies of the Treasurer’s Report.  For the period dated March 1, 2004 to March 29, 2004 we had a total income of $440.00  which was a result of a jazz band gig at Patuxent Wildlife and donations for the jazz band CDs.  Our total expenses were $1751.90 for the month, leaving a checkbook balance of $3682.67 and a savings balance of $8256.57.

Maurice reviewed the necessary committees for Community Band Day and will distribute a sign up sheet at the next rehearsal for members to volunteer for shifts.  Riley has already volunteered to be a greeter.

We will need canopies for shade if anyone has them.

Old Business:

We have the music from Mr. Houlik for our June concert.   Since he has sent us the originals, we will have section leaders make copies for all of the players in each section and return the originals to Mike at the next rehearsal.  We cannot risk losing any of these pieces.

New Business:

We have a signed contract for HCC to play the graduation.  The date is Friday, May 21, 2004 at 4:00 PM. Call time would be around 3:30 PM.  They have agreed to pay us $700.00 for our participation.   As always many of us must leave work early to play.  Please check your schedules and see what you can arrange so that we have a decent showing of band members.
