   My name is Christine Norton, and I will be serving as the Nease Band Boosters VP. I work at Baptist Health in Occupational Health. My husband, Christopher, and I have one daughter, Emily. Emily started with the band freshman year in the color guard. As a sophomore she played bass clarinet and participated in indoor percussion. This year, as a junior, she will be a member of the front ensemble for marching season and play bass clarinet in the wind ensemble. Not unlike my daughter, I welcome new challenges. I am open to change and innovation. I am looking forward to working with you to make the 20-21 band year successful and fun for the kids. I believe it is important for us, as Band Boosters, to make it easier for Mr. C. and the students to focus on the music and performance. Last year, I had the pleasure of serving as the volunteer coordinator. In that role, I enjoyed meeting everyone and assisting them to get involved with the Boosters. This organization does not function without volunteers. While we all have different talents and interests, there is a place and time for everyone to contribute. If I can help you in any way, please reach out. Please be patient with me as I learn this new role. I am not very savvy with Facebook, so the best way to reach me is by email or text. If you have a time sensitive issue, please feel free to text me. I look forward to seeing you all again soon and meeting our new students and families. Christine and be reached at 904-477-8274 or neasebandboostersvp@gmail.com 

   Lisa Hoffman volunteered for a second term as Treasurer. Lisa is the CFO for Sawgrass Country Club and lives in Coastal Oaks Nocatee. Her daughter, Ariana, is a rising Junior who plays Alto Sax. Enough about me. Last year I met an amazing group of parents who were involved in the success of the Nease Marching Band. As they say, it takes an army; it truly does with 150 students. During the season, I found that we all had the same goals in mind, to be involved in our kids lives, give back to our community, and WIN! I look forward to being a member of the band family for another year. If you need me I’ll be in Concessions. Lisa can be reached at adneasebandtreasurer@gmail.com
