Booster Club is always looking for volunteers at these events. We look for parents to work 1 of 2 shifts selling food items, American candies, spirit items and drinks. Donations for baked goods are also very much welcomed. It helps if we can alternate and allow the parents to watch their student athlete play at these events while some of us work the Spirit events.

The Massed Band Festival (MBF) culminates in a rollicking concert on September 29th in the Chevron at 2 pm. Put the date into your diary and bring your friends and family to enjoy this huge, boisterous sound! It will feature the best band students from schools in the Bangkok area. The concert will start on time and the doors will close 3 minutes before the performance starts as we are building good theatre etiquette in our students. So please arrive early to take your seats. Dress is semi formal and there will be an early intermission to allow younger listeners to depart if necessary without disrupting others.

There will be a reception following.

Instrumental Music Program

by Angela Kohl

angelak@isb.ac.th

The IMP is in the process of hiring a percussion teacher to teach on Wednesdays at ISB. A Percussionist teaches a broad category which includes playing the drum set as a small portion of what a percussionist does. A drummer is usually a specialist on drum set when a percussionist refers to someone who plays all percussion instruments such as snare and bass drums, timpani, crash cymbals, gong, and all of the keyboard percussion instruments like xylophone, marimba, vibraphone just to name a few. A percussionist also can play drum set but a drummer can not necessarily play all percussion instruments. At ISB, like at many schools, all percussion instruments are taught through a concert band setting. Taking percussion lessons would greatly enhance classroom performance as well as create a strong fundamental understanding of the instruments before taking drum set lessons.

Please contact the coordinator for more info (angelak@isb.ac.th).
