HOMECOMING 2011!
MUM-A-MIAS ARE HARD AT WORK!!

Click here for the Mum Mobile page! 
Order forms, photos of everything on the cart, samples & examples are available to aid in making your selections. Do some advance planning at home to save time at lunch and/or after school.

HOMECOMING 2011 is on September 30!  That means awesome, one-of-a-kind Mums and Garters made by the Taylor Band Mum-a-Mias.  They have been working all summer and will continue right up until Homecoming week.  Homecoming Mums are JET Band's biggest, most successful fundraiser of the year, and it takes many volunteers to make it a success...  We need YOUR help now!

WHAT: 
If you're not from Texas or haven't been around Texas high school football, you may not know what we're talking about!  Click here to find out "What in the World are Mums?"

WHO:
 Everyone!  No experience is required to work on mums, and our expert Mum-a-Mia's will be happy to train you.  We need all levels of workers, novices and experts alike can help.  Many of the jobs are as easy as measuring lengths of ribbon and cutting.  Hanging out with the Mum-a-Mias has some great added benefits as well -- you can get advice on just about anything to do with high school and beyond, not to mention all the latest news on what the kids are up to, favorite teachers, getting ready for college applications, and more -- you name it, one of the Mum-a-Mias or their child has done it!  And if you aren't the artsy-craftsy type, then help us sell mums to Taylor students.  Mum sales are easy and fun, not to mention giving you a great reason to hang out at lunch or after school and get the full scoop on what's going on.  We also need volunteers to help with quality control and distribution of finished mums.  There's a job for everyone!

A big thank-you to the mum committee chairs who have stepped forward for 2011-2012 school year:

We still need volunteers in every area and hope you will consider joining in.  Please review the Mum Committee Job Descriptions to see where YOU could contribute! 

WHEN:
 
Click for the Mum Making Schedule and the Mum Selling/Ordering Schedule.  We would love for you to
join us on any scheduled workday, come when you can and leave when you need to!  E-mail us at mums@jetband.org or call Penny's number listed on the schedule if you need more information.  For mum sales, we do need a commitment in advance.  If you can help us take orders (there's no real "selling" involved!), please e-mail Florine at mums.sales@jetband.org or call 281-492-6430.  We will be selling in the Main Commons and Freshman Center at lunch, and after school in the Fine Arts Hallway.  See the schedules for specific dates dates and times.

There are also opportunities to give the JET Band 1 ½ - 2 hours of your time immediately after school or in the evenings to distribute completed mums.  If you’re unable to come to the school but would like to get involved, we also need volunteers to notify students that their mums are ready for pick-up. This requires 15 – 20 minutes making phone calls from a list emailed to you. To schedule a time to distribute mums in the Commons or to make phone calls, please e-mail mums.distribution@jetband.org.

WHERE:  The Mum Room is next to THS classroom 164.  Go as if you are going to room 164, and just before you get to the computer lab, go into the door to the right.  Click here for a map of the school showing the location of classroom 164.

Please come join in the fun!  The Mum-a-Mias work hard but also have a great time working together -- ask any one of the 50+ volunteers who've joined us over the last 10+ years. The funds raised through Homecoming Mum sales are essential to the continued excellence of Taylor Band... please volunteer!

THANK YOU!!!

We Love Our Mum-a-Mias!!
