To all the students, family, and friends who donated and attended our 2009 Rock-a-thon, thank you for your support and making this event so popular and successful. And to all the parents who helped out by donating their time and energy by manning a station, making rounds with coffee and food, and working on Mums, Thank You! Without your help and support, this event would not be possible. Thank you for helping to get our 2009-10 season off to a great start! Now, on to our next event, our first football game. We are looking forward to seeing you there! And don't forget our first Booster Club meeting of the year, coming up on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. in the band hall. Come find out what the latest news is.

Note from the Booster Club President


         Thank you to everyone who contributed to and helped out with the TAKS Teachers Breakfast on Friday morning.  We have received many compliments and thank you 's from the teachers and staff at Clements. They are all very appreciative and think our booster parents are great. We could not have done it without you.

It is hard to believe the month of May is already upon us and the end of the year is fast approaching.  At the beginning of August Marching Camp, it always seems that the year will stretch on endlessly, but before we know it, May comes around again.  It has been a busy, but also fun and successful year for the Band and Color Guard. I have been honored and proud to be the president of the Booster Club this year as we have worked hard to support the activities of all our students and directors. At this time I would like to express my sincere thanks to the directors for the fine program they have run this year. It has been a pleasure to work with you.  And my appreciation goes to all the parents who have stepped in and helped us out through the year in many different capacities. Thank you all so much for your help. 
We have a few more activities before the year ends, starting with the final Booster Club meeting for this year where we will be voting on the officers and committees for next year, and also hearing the latest in what is in store for next year - you won't want to miss that! Other dates to save coming up are the Percussion Concert on Thursday, May 21 at the CHS auditorium, the Spring Concert at HBU on Tuesday, May 26, and our End of Year Banquet on Saturday, May 30 at 6 p.m. Seniors and Senior Parents, please make sure you get your baby/Senior picture in to Mrs. Mosher so you can be included in the Senior salute.  More information on tickets for both the Spring Concert and the Banquet will be coming out soon.

 

Thanks

Lorraine Carey


Color Guard celebrates great strides at WGI Nationals in Dayton - the CHS "A" Guard team completed their first trip to Nationals with a top-30 finish, and are National Semifinalists! They came in 7th in their division, just out of finals position.  What a great effort for a young and enthusiastic group !   Congratulations!


Both guards competed in the State Finals this past weekend at the Berry Center and once again, made Clements High School proud! The B guard finished 10th in their division while the A guard took 2nd place in the Scholastic A division!  Congratulations to all the girls! While the season has ended for the B guard, the A guard has one big competition left....they leave for the WGI National Competition in Dayton, Ohio this Wednesday. Good Luck to the Varsity Guard - We know you will make Clements proud

Thanks to everyone who helped us out on our Dallas trip!  The trip was a success because of your efforts! Despite the blustery weather, everyone had a good time. Listening to the Bands play in the Meyerson was awesome. Thanks to the Directors for a wonderful music program.
I would like to express my gratitude to all the parent volunteers who helped make this year's Showcase dinner and Silent Auction a great success! By all reports, this year's Showcase event was a hit, with great food, great music and performances, and great auction items. Big thanks to El Vaquero in Missouri City for our dee-li-cious  fajita dinner and the following people who helped pull this activity  together:  Namita Asthana for coordinating the food, Silvia Amsel for help with drinks, Donna Romaine for dessert, plus Maureen Ambrocik, Nina Desai, Shara Preston, Norma Pharr, and Cheryl Coulthard for their invaluable help getting the auction rolling and helping out that night.  And to all the parents who volunteered to man a station during the dinner and auction: your help is greatly appreciated.  

Thank you.
Lorraine Carey, Booster Club Pres.

Announcements for 2007-2008 Season:

9/05/2008: We have our first football game of the season under our belts. Thank you everyone who turned out at Hall Stadium to watch some football, cheer on the team, and watch our great kids. I hope everyone had as much fun watching and listening to the Band and Color Guard perform as I did. Everything went well for our first outing, with very few hitches. All our new students and families have now been initiated into the ritual of Texas high school football. If you are one of our new families, I'd like to invite you to join us at the next game, and sit down near the band. It's great fun, you get to meet great people, and we get to watch our kids play groovy music and have fun.

A great big THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who turned out to help us get ready at the school, loading Gatorades, helping in the "feed zone", chaperoning on the buses, and at the stadium with the plumes and percussion equipment (fondly known as the "Pit").  As you can see, it takes a large number of enthusiastic parents to get our Band and Color Guard actually in the stadium and out on the field to perform.  If you haven't had a chance yet, please consider joining us in this great endeavor. All our efforts go towards supporting our great kids and our great directors. It looks like they have given us a very enjoyable show to watch this year. I am looking forward to seeing what new sets and maneuvers they have in store for us the next time (wasn't that jazz run the coolest thing?) . As always, if you have any questions or would like to get involved, please contact any Booster Club board member or the Directors (see Contacts for links).
