New Business
Jen and Aaron talked about the Yankee candle fundraiser.  Was a success but a bit frustrating in terms of organization from their end.  They also mentioned a volunteer system based on our non-profit status.  Students/Parents can get various credit, and everything can be organized better online.  
Amy started to talk about volunteers for Feb. 21st State Orchestra Contest….I cut her off because I was informed today that we will not be able to host this year.  OMEA huge mistake.  They are sorry but it doesn’t help us.

Directors’ reports:  
Miss Driscoll:  
No report
Mr. Yoke: 
We need parent volunteers to ride buses with Sinfonia and Symphony and to help transport instruments for State Contest. We will need to feed the kids. There is not a ton of percussion compared to previous years.
Solo & Ensemble was amazing this year. There were 47 events. The vast majority were solos. Both judges and other people wondered how we get 41 soloists. We’re moving in the right direction. A Sinfonia group got a Superior rating for the first time. 
State Contest is going to be great.
