by | Jul 31, 2017 | Recent Events

Family Pot-Luck Picnic is, TONIGHT, July 31st, 5:30-7:30 pm in the Anderson Courtyard by the cafeteria.
  • This is a fun time to meet other Anderson Band Parents, put names with faces of kids your child has been talking about, catch up with old band friends and meet new ones!  (The entire family is welcome – including younger siblings!)  The students will start “Flamingoing” right from the picnic.  Practice will end at 5:00 – so plan on picking up your student, bringing some food to share and come join the fun!
    ·       When – Monday, July 31
    ·       Where – Anderson CAFETERIA/Courtyard 
    ·       Time – Doors will open at 5:30, we will begin eating at 6 – Flamingoing should start by 6:30-6:45
    ·       BRING YOUR OWN DRINKS!!  (Consider bringing a case of water to share with all of those who forget!)
    ·       Bring dishes to share according to your child’s grade level (below are suggestions):

    ·       Finger sandwiches, Tortilla roll ups, subs (cut into portions)
    ·       Fried Chicken, Chicken Nuggets – don’t forget the sauce!
    ·       Meatballs/Crescent Roll Sausage Bites
    ·       Taquitos/Samosas/Egg Rolls – anything creative is appreciated!
    Juniors- SIDE DISH – DO NOT BRING MACARONI, COLE SLAW, OR POTATO SALAD (UNLESS HOMEMADE – NO CARTONS – WE JUST END UP THROWING IT OUT).
    ·       COLD SALADS:  Homemade green, potato, fruit, chicken, and pasta are very popular!

    More info:
    ·       Plates, utensils and napkins will be provided.
    ·       Please plan on bringing a serving utensil if your dish requires it.  The disposable varieties are great or bring your own with your name on it.   THE BAND STUDENTS WILL BE STARVING AFTER A LONG DAY OF PRACTICE – PLEASE BRING A GENEROUS PORTION! If you can’t attend, please send food for your student to share with their friends!
    • AVOID CASSEROLES and TUBS OF SALADS (i.e. macaroni or potato) – they have not gone over very well in the past and we end up with most of them left over.
    PLEASE BE GENEROUS IN YOUR PORTIONS!  The kids are EXTRA HUNGRY after a long day of practice!  
  • In order to minimize waste and long lines, please refer to the food suggestions for each grade level.  These have been very popular in past years.
  • As we are still setting up committees, please consider sticking around to help clean up!
