  • THANK YOU CHAPERONES!  Our sincerest thanks to everyone who has helped with chaperoning, drying coolers, washing towels, driving trucks, or in any other "chaperoning" capacity this past year.  The Taylor band is so successful because of the great kids and supportive parents we have in our program.  We thank our Chaperone Committee, Janet Aimone and Maria Malacon, for coordinating chaperones and their related duties all year! 
     

  • THANKS!  The generosity of Taylor Band parents is legendary, but this takes the cake!  Because of a number of very generous donations, ESPECIALLY from the Robert family, Mr. Janda was able to order 12 marching baritones and have them here in time for summer band!  The JET Band will be looking and sounding VERY cool on the field!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!
     

     FALL '07 SEMESTER:

  • The 2nd annual JET Band Burger Bash @ Rhodes Stadium on August 18, 2007 was a great success. The rain didn't dampen the spirits of the JET Band Faithful and the Band looked great!  Special thanks to Sherry Piché & Julie McInnis for organizing our first event of the year. Special thanks to the "grillers" -- those 1200+ burgers and dogs were cooked just right! -- and to the servers and clean-up committee.
     

  • The Band Booster Garage Sale on Saturday, September 22, 2007, was a great success, raising more than $3,000 for Band Boosters!  A huge thank you goes to Jan and Jeff Work, Garage Sale Chairs, and to everyone who volunteered and/or donated items.  Your contribution of time, effort, and your recycled treasurers are greatly appreciated! 
     

  • A zillion thanks to the Mum-a-Mias for a record-setting year for Homecoming Mums!  2007 Mums raised over $18,000, and the continuation of Mums -- the Band Bear Ornaments -- raised another $1,600 so far!  Please read about this phenomenal accomplishment on the Mums page and thank the hardworking Mum moms when you see them.
     

  • Thanks to Tammy & Mike Johnson, Ellen & Paul Yates, and all their helpers for a successful and fun Masquerade Party on November 9, 2007.  There were some great costumes and skits, delicious treats, and scavenger hunt fun.  KCM really appreciated the donations, too!
     

  • The first-ever JET Band Alumni Reunion on November 3, 2007 was awesome!  Many people contributed to the success of the day, and we thank them all.  We owe a very special thank you to the Alumni Day Coordinator, Kathy Miesner, who pulled it all together.  Attendees are already asking "when's the next one?"!
     

  • Another award-winning Marching Season is over... we couldn't have done it without our wonderful and dedicated JET Band parents!  Two committees in particular made a huge contribution to the success of the season.  We appreciate more than words can say all the parents who chaperoned the games and contests, and we give special recognition to our Chaperone Coordinators, Janet Aimone and Maria Malacon.  Another major effort in Marching Season is handled by our Uniform Committee.  The committee and their many helpers made sure that the uniforms were fitted, cleaned, and checked out and in, and even transported when necessary, at every event, all season long.  Special thanks to Cathy Delaney, Margaret Ewald, Brenda Shaver, and Susan Shaffer for their tireless leadership with uniforms.  Now that Concert Season is underway, both Chaperones and Uniforms still have jobs to do, and we hope you will respond to the call whenever they need volunteer help.
