MUM-A-MIAS ARE HARD AT WORK ON HOMECOMING 2009!!!

  UPDATE as of 9.15.09:  All Mum Distribution & Mum Sales positions are filled... but we are in desperate need of Mum Makers!  Please join us so that this project can continue to be the successful fundraiser that JET Band is counting on!  Mum Sales are now over!  We had to cut off sales 3 days early to avoid taking more orders than we can reasonably produce before Homecoming!  We really need YOUR help!

BACKS, BEARS, TAILS, AND TRINKETS:
The Mum Moms have finished pulling all the parts needed to assemble the mum orders and there are some parts left over. If you are interested in buying items to make your own mum or garter, come by the 160 hall between 3 and 6 PM on Monday, September 21. Monday is for band students only; we will sell to the rest of the school on Tuesday, so come early for the best selection!
 
 
It's almost here... HOMECOMING!  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 working right up until Homecoming, which is on October 2, 2009.  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! Click here for Order Forms and Mum Mobile Photos... Save time by planning your order at home!

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!

WHEN:
 Click
for the Mum Making Schedule and the Mum Selling 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 one of the contact numbers 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 60 opportunities to give the JET Band 1 ½ - 2 hours of your time immediately after school or in the evenings to distribute completed mums. Click for the Mum Distribution Schedule to see where you can help. 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.  New mum makers should report there.  Experienced mum makers can report to the large ensemble room in the bandhall, upstairs next to the Directors' office.  After hours, all mum makers should report to the ensemble room.  When reporting for evening or weekend mum work, please enter the school through the double doors from the parking garage.

MUM MOBILE Click here for the Mum Mobile page.  Order forms are available there, plus photos of everything on the cart, as well as samples and examples, so you can do some advance planning from home before placing your order. 

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 5+ 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!!
