Believe it or not, it is already time to begin preparing for the Ballroom Blitz. For those of you who are new to our program, the Ballroom Blitz is a dinner/dance featuring our Jazz Ensemble, Stage Band, BMS Jazz Band, Choraleers, and Orchestra Honors Quintet. There is an auction and we also raffle off our Bay Rocket Marching Band for a performance. This event is our second largest fundraiser of the year. This year the Blitz will be held on April 25, 2020.

This will be my 5th and final year chairing this event. It has been an honor to be a part of Ballroom Blitz, but it is time to pass the torch. I am looking for someone or perhaps a group interested in learning how to plan this event. I am also looking to fill the following committees for this year’s Blitz:

Fundraising Committee: 3-4 people interested in collecting donations for the auction, making the baskets, and overseeing the auction during the Blitz.

Decorating Committee: Help to plan and execute the decorations for the Blitz. We will work within a budget to transform the high school cafeteria into our theme.  

Beverage Station: 1-2 people to set up and maintain the beverage station during the Blitz and clean up after the event.

If you have any questions about the committees or would like to talk about taking over as Chair for the Ballroom Blitz, please don’t hesitate to email me at tjdeibel06@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Tracy Deibel

We would like to extend our condolences to the Safarz family and to Bay High School staff and students. Michelle Safarz was a beloved teacher and was a friend to many of our music directors. She will be greatly missed.

Congratulations to the new members of Symphonic Band.  We still need another bassoon player if anyone is interested in trying it out, let me know.  If you feel that you made progress over the summer you may re-audition at the end of marching band season.  If you have any questions please email me.  Darren.allen@bayschoolsohio.org
