$500 Prize - 2008 Booster Banquet
Attention Wheaton North Band Parents!
The WN Booster Club will donate $500
to the WN team or school
organization (like the WN Band Department!) designated by the "Ticket
Captain" (that would be Karen Kuite, your FPBO Liaison to the WN Booster
Club) who sells the most tickets to the WN Booster Club-sponsored
"Fandamonium",
this year's annual Dinner, Dance, and Auction on Saturday,
March 1, at 5:30 p.m.
at
"The CARLISLE" in Lombard. Please see the
invitation
, check the
Booster web site
or the
event web site.
This is a casual (suggested attire is WN spirit wear, meaning band spirit
wear in any form!) and very fun, very well-attended event! As the FBPO
"Ticket Captain," I have already sold 10 tickets to non-band parents,
have sold another 6 tickets to band parents, and we need more band
parents to attend and support this Booster fund-raiser because Boosters
annually gift hundreds of dollars back to the performing arts departments
here at North in the form of band instruments we need, stage upgrades,
uniforms, etc.! Let's join forces for a night out together to support
our students at Wheaton North!
So far we have a table for 10 started with 6 band parents seated at this
first "band" table. Let's fill it and start a second and a third table
for 10, filled with band parents supporting a great cause! Look at it as
a Market Day order or an order for Innesbrook wrapping paper ... it
ultimately benefits our performing arts programs in general and our band
students in particular!
Tickets are $65
per person before Feb. 6, and $75 after that date. Band
parents, talk to your friends, neighbors, or band parent buddies, and
plan this as a social event for a group of you! Or, just join us as a
single or as a couple at one of the band tables for the evening!
If we
sell the most tickets, the band department would win the $500 prize!!!
The food is excellent, the music fun, and browsing the auction tables is
like checking out an upscale Kane County Flea Market, with nothing to
lose, and nothing but unique, fun, and unusual baskets and bargains to
gain, from restaurant gift cards, theater tickets, jewelry, and
"spirits," to spirit wear, sporting events, and entertainment media, like
CDs and DVDs. We may even auction off one of our jazz combos to play at
the event of your choice! Think graduation party!
For tickets, call Karen Kuite at
(630) 462-1235
as soon as possible, and
the bands at Wheaton North just might win that $500 !!! Leave a message
or a question, and I'll call you right back! Hope to see you on March 1!

Problems with AOL
There seems to be a problem with emails sent from the the FBPO email account
at yahoo.com to email addresses at AOL.com. Many have bounced. This has
now happened twice. The problem is that it takes so long for the email system
to finally give up, that the timeliness of the email is lost.
We cannot 'make' the email systems cooperate, so any time an email goes out,
I will try to add the same material on this page. I would suggest signing up
to be notified whenever this site changes
(click on monitor changes over to the right).
I will also try to resend the problem email as soon as I get the failure message,
just so you have it. Sometimes the second sending works. If anyone has insight
into resolving this sort of issue, please let me know.

Band Performances - VIDEO
We are experimenting with posting the WNHS Bands performances on
the website. Depending upon the movie player you use, this may
mean that the entire video file - which may be quite large,
depending upon the length of the movie - may be downloaded to
your computer and begin playing upon completion of the download.
The download may take several minutes and consume large amounts
of disk storage space.
The initial format of the performances will be in Microsoft
"Windows Movie" (.wmv) files. In order to play the movies, a
movie player must be installed on your computer. The most common
players may be obtained free at:
Media Player for Windows XP
Apple QuickTime
Media Player Components for Apple QuickTime
Senior Farewell Concert - May 21, 2007
In the future, we will refine the video capabilities as our
budget allows. Please forward your
comments
