BOSS ANNOUNCEMENTS

Announcements for All:

• The classical ensembles concert is Tuesday Oct. 1.
• Jazz concert is Thursday Oct. 3! -it would be nice to get a few more people to help with stage crew, especially for after the jazz concert.
• Keep promoting the Charleston Wrap fundraiser that ends Oct. 7th Thanks, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Announcements for Jazz Bands:

-Ask your parents if they are willing to be a chaperone or equipment driver for any of our upcoming festivals:

• MDUSD Jazz Festival, Thursday Nov. 14th.

Announcements for Orchestra:

-Ask your parents to become an Orchestra Parent Rep for the NIMB Board. Orchestra's MDUSD Festival is at DVC this year, and the NIMB Board would like to have Orchestra go to the Willows Shopping Center for lunch just like Jazz Band does but we need somebody to organize this.

Reminders:

1. Don’t yell over the class to get attention for announcements! Be standing tall in the front right as the bell goes off, then wait for everyone to be quiet. In simple terms, if you are not respectful to your classmates, they will not care about what you have to say.

2. An easy way to grab people’s attention before announcements is to ask for everyone to show their pencils.

3. Be concise and if possible, try to make it fun! Class periods are short and we all know how annoying long and boring lectures can be.

4. For those classes with multiple BOSS reps, you guys can announce together and split up the work.

Why do we need BOSS? What do they do?

BOSS is the student-extension of NIMB (Northgate Instrumental Music Boosters), a 501(c)3 nonprofit which aims to support and fund Northgate’s highly-decorated and dearly held instrumental music program.

Why should I join BOSS?

BOSS is a rewarding experience that combines students' passion for music with service to the school. BOSS is a way for instrumental music students to contribute to the band program and the greater outside community.

For those who are looking to complete school projects or meet a certain number of volunteer hours for an award, BOSS can be both an enjoyable and gratifying avenue to achieve that.

If you enjoy instrumental music, BOSS is the best way to make a direct impact on the performing arts community at Northgate High School.
