Fundraising Fundraising Coordinators Rick & Katrina Brown

Fund Raising seeks to create opportunities for band students and parents to raise funds for the student's involvement in the Timber Creek band programs. Students can have their profits from various fund raisers applied toward paying their band fees, trip fees, or other special fees. There will be fund development activities through the year. We will offer opportunities for each family to be involved in a sale of goods and goodies, car washes (two to three) and a local eating establishment, for a Timber Creek Regiment Night Out. In our sales of goods, we pick those companies that will give us the highest percentage of profit. Generally these monies will go into each students band account. There may be one or two of these sales events that may go into the general band fund. Mr. Cox will make the selection, depending where the general band fund stands. If you have any questions, regarding any fundraising activities, please contact Rick and Katrina Brown.

Guard Liaison Valerie Cline

The responsibilities of the Guard Liaison focus on providing support to the Guard and the Guard staff. This includes coordinating help for uniforms, making and maintaining flags, and helping with the Guards hairstyling, makeup and preparation before games and competitions. The Guard Liaison also provides coordination for fund-raising events for the Guard.

After regular marching season, the TCHS Regiment Color Guard participates in WGI (Winter Guard International sanctioned competitions for indoor color guard. This activity requires a significant level of support from the parents and Guard boosters. During the Winter Guard season the Guard Liaison needs all the help and voluntary support that can be offered.

Historian Dan Lee - Historian

The Historian's duties include recording and documenting events of the various portions of the Timber Creek Bands program both on and off the field, in the Performing Arts Center, etc..

One of the most exciting duties of the Historian is to produce a keepsake video/slideshow of the band's experiences that will be shown at the year-end banquet.

Other responsibilities can include creating and maintaining a scrapbook that the students can view throughout the year, organizing a "visual display booth" that will be set up at fund raising activities and other events, and more. If you'd like to help out, drop Dan Lee an email.

Hospitality Isabel Gomez - - Hospitality Coordinator

The Hospitality Committee is a group that reaches out and welcomes other visiting organizations or individuals to the Timber Creek band community and beautiful campus. We need a few band parent volunteers to help, and what a great way to begin to get involved with your student's band program.

We are predominantly responsible for welcoming visiting bands to Timber Creek High School on football home game nights.

First, we make sure they have directions to the school, parking instructions, and concession stand information. Secondly, we prepare the stands for their arrival and personally greet them on game night. Lastly, we will check back with them to see if we can assist with anything else.

The Hospitality Committee may also be called upon to assist with other Regiment functions involving "hospitality" such as organizing dinner for our Regiments' families on the last night of band camp. Other responsibilities may evolve this year, too.

Please feel free to volunteer. We need you and your input to make our Timber Creek Bands program an even more "people friendly" organization! Contact Isabel Gomez.

Off-Campus Concessions Karen Lattin Off-Campus Concessions Chair

Off-Campus Concessions seeks to create income for the TCHS band program by selling concessions at various events not held at Timber Creek. Our primary venues for doing this are currently the TD Waterhouse Center and the Citrus Bowl. At each event, we are responsible for the set-up, cooking, selling, and clean up of the stand we are assigned. Our commission is based on the gross sales our stand makes. The more we sell, the more we earn. When you work with us, you earn money that goes into your Trip Account and you also earn money that goes into the General Band Fund to support the various band programs.

At most events we coordinate a group of 8-10 TCHS band parents and students (who are at least 16 years old) to work in one of the concession stands at the TD Waterhouse Centre or the Citrus Bowl. We have to schedule the events we work over a month in advance. We try not to schedule any event to work that will conflict with the football games or competitions that The Regiment will be performing in. That way we can support our students when they perform.

It is easy to learn where to go and what to do at these events. We always welcome new people. Those of us who have worked together at the different events have concluded that this is a great opportunity for fellowship with other parents and students. As we average about 8 people a night, you really get a chance to get to know the different people with whom you work.

If you would like to help out at an Off-Campus Event, please contact Karen Lattin.

On-Campus Concessions Mark Frye - On-Campus Concessions Chair

On-Campus Concessions plays an important part of the TCHS Band Program. Selling concessions during various events held at Timber Creek High School makes it possible for us to raise several thousand dollars. These dollars are used to help underwrite several aspects of the band program.

We operate the concession stand at all varsity and junior varsity football games. We also occasionally work other special events that take place on campus. It takes a minimum of 12-15 parent volunteers to operate the concession stand efficiently. Responsibilities include setting up, cooking, selling, and cleaning up the concession stand after every game. Jobs vary within the concession stand and are easy to learn.

Pit Crew Heidi Anderson - Pit Crew Coordinator

Tired of sitting around on Friday nights? Looking to get some exercise at bargain prices? Want to be in the great outdoors? Want to experience great entertainment close up? Then you need to think about being part of the Timber Creek Regiment Pit Crew. So, you ask, what does this Pit Crew do? Does it have something to do with fruit or digging holes? Well not exactly...

The "pit", in marching band, consists of the immovable instruments like the marimbas and tympani that are set up in front of the field. The Pit Crew is responsible for moving the equipment on and off the field for performances. The Pit Crew also transports the pit equipment and all the other large equipment like tubas, drums, flags, water and occasionally a golf cart, to and from all events. Our motto is "We Load, We Unload, We Move".

Being on the Pit Crew is easy, you just need to sign up and be available for our performance events. So you say, "I can't make it to every game." That's OK. Some "Pit-dads" or "Pit-moms" work part time and may just help at home games or whenever they have extra time. Some just help us load and unload the truck at the school.

If you feel this is the area in which you would like to volunteer, please contact Heidi Anderson.

Spirit Vicki Young - Spirit Coordinator

The primary focus of the Spirit Coordinator is to support our kids, directors and parents, while developing a sense of excitement and pride in the Timber Creek band program. Spirit will develop and promote programs for parents and boosters to help spread the word and show how exciting it is to be part of this program.

We will also coordinate the Wolf Attacks on unsuspecting recipients as well as Spirit Nights at various supportive restaurants.

During marching season, as well as concert time, Spirit will work in tandem with other committees to coordinate activities for our kids and parents to support the band during games, competitions and concerts.

Treasurer Marie Rosen - Treasurer

The primary responsibilities of treasurer is to collect and transfer monies received to the school bookkeeper and maintains proper records of monies credited to band accounts. I coordinate accounts with the Fund Raising personnel to insure that each student's fund-raising efforts are credited to them in an accurate and timely fashion. If you have any questions regarding the accounting please contact Marie Rosen.

Uniforms Cindy Wisthoff - Uniform Coordinator

We are responsible for dressing the Timber Creek Regiment with "Pride". We start during band camp, preparing the students and the uniforms for the upcoming marching season. Fitting, hemming, alterations, logging uniform numbers for organizational purposes; all are completed before the 1st football game and halftime show!

Additional help is also needed throughout the football season as uniform distribution, collection, and maintenance happens every week. The Uniform "Moms and Dads" often spend evening band rehearsals catching up on repairs. Many band members will continue to grow, so hemming and reassigning uniforms never ends!

When football season is over, we begin Concert Season and the fitting, hemming, and maintaining cycle starts all over again with the wardrobe worn by the Wind Ensemble: black tuxedoes and long formal evening gowns.

There is always something happening in the uniform room! Volunteers are needed and appreciated, daytime or evening (even hemming at home). Sewing skills are not required.
