Bylaw Change
A motion to put in place a new Vice President position and eliminate the Fundraising Chair becoming President if the President was unable to perform their duties was put forth last month. A secret voting poll was conducted through Zoom. After we conclude that a quorum was met we will announce the results at next month’s meeting.
MABPO President, Andrea Ward
We will move forward as if things are still proceeding. The Band Banquet in May is still on until we hear otherwise. Please know that things are fluid and subject to change.

Band Director, Nick Barthen
- As you all know, information was sent out about this year’s trip being cancelled due to COVID-19. We waited in order to receive the most refund as possible. It will take as much as 12 weeks to receive these refunds. We will be fully refunded by most vendors and should expect about 90% to 95% refunded from your total paid.
- Do not contact the trip insurance people. There is a process to go through and you will be contacted with more in formation when we have it.
- Any checks, cash or money orders that were paid towards the trip can be refunded back to you.
- If the funds came from fundraising they will go back into the students account to use later or for an upcoming sibling.
- The Jergles concert has been canceled.
- If we are able to go back to school by April 14th, everything will go on as planned with the exception of the trip, which is canceled.
- The musical has been rescheduled for the last week in April.
- Online learning starts Monday, March 30th. I will have a few assignment format options for the students to choose from. All teachers have office hours but we cannot get in the building. Any issues with Skyward or computers there are tech people available. Please do not be afraid to ask for help.
