Attention All Band Parents and Students
The Zachary High School Bronco Band Boosters were approached by "Integrated Stadium Seating" in 2009 regarding a possible fund raising offer for our group. This company is a stadium seatback leasing
and rental service provider for some of the nation's largest universities according to their website. For the 2009
football season, they began providing seatbacks for LSU's Tiger Stadium.
The boosters were offered
fifty cents (0.50) for each seat installed in the stadium. Additionally, we would be responsible for staffing five
booths inside Tiger Stadium to sell and service these chairs during the games. We will be paid $750.00 per game ($150.00
per booth). There are seven home games so that would mean $5,250.00 for manning the booths this season. At the
end of the season, we will uninstall each chair and place them back in storage. We will then be paid another fifty cents
(0.50) for each seat uninstalled.
For the 2009 football season, the ZHS Band Boosters raised $12,366.00
working in Tiger Stadium. There were only 8000 seats available for the 2009 season (note: some upper deck seats
were handled by temporary workers... hence the reason for our total collected being less than $13,250.00).
For the 2010 football season, 14,000 are being made available, and we have the potential to raise $19,250.00 (if
we sell and install every seat) this football season at LSU. However, we need your help!
We will need at least ten people for every 1,000 seats to be installed. As of August 9th, 2010, over 9,000 seats
have already been pre-sold. This means we need (at a minimum) at least ninety people. This can be band students,
parents, family, friends, etc. The only thing we ask is that small children (elementary school & younger) not
participate. A 9/16" socket set and wrenches will be provided, but, you may also utilize a battery powered
drill with a socket set attachment. No holes shall be drilled into any stadium seats.
For
now, Saturday, August 28th has been designated as the day we will install the seats. The earlier
we can begin, the cooler it will be, and the sooner we will finish. We plan on arriving around 6:30 a.m. at Tiger Stadium
and starting the seat installation process immediately thereafter.
We will provide lunch. Water &
soft drinks will also be provided by the boosters, but you are welcome to bring you own if you desire. Several
water coolers may also be available.
During each game, we will need at least 4 people per booth,
especially at the beginning of the season. Please look at your schedule and sign up where you can! Please reply
to mwmusselman@bellsouth.net or call Mike at 241-3602 and let us know when you can help. Please leave a message if I am unable to answer the phone
when you call.
The seating install date is August 28th.
The LSU football home games are:
September 18th, 6 p.m. (Mississippi State)
September 25th, 7 p.m. (West Virginia)
October 2nd, 7 p.m. (Tennessee)
October 16th, 7 p.m. (McNeese)
November
6th, 7 p.m. (Alabama)
November 13th 7 p.m. (UL-Monroe)
November 20th 7 p.m. (Ole Miss)
The seating uninstall date has not yet been determined.
Thanking you in advance!
