Creating a Scrapbook For Your High Schooler In Band
Dec 19th
I have such fond memories of my daughter spending her high school years in the marching band. I admit to wondering who had more fun, my daughter performing or her mom cheering her on at each performance.
Over the years, we have found quite an assortment of scrapbook papers, stickers and embellishments that were designed with a music theme.
You have the option of creating one scrapbook with all four years worth of photos or four separate scrapbooks, one for each year.
From talking with other parents, I have found most music programs are the same. The kids start out before school ever gets under way with band camp. This is where they begin to learn the music and begin to choreograph their show. You can make a copy of the marching drill on acid free paper and also a copy of the music being used for their show for your scrapbook.
As performances begin, you can snap a few photos of each performance. If your band performs at football games, see if you can snap a photo of the other team, so that you’ll have a reference about which game the performance took place at.
As the competition season begins, again snap a photo of the location of the competition. My daughter is several years post high school and she will still speak of a particular competition naming the location where the competition took place.
Most competitions had programs available. Those can be copied onto acid free paper and put right into the scrapbook.
During award ceremonies, photos of your group accepting an award are a must. This is also a great time to snap some photos of the rest of the group sitting in the stands.
Some scrapbooks require more journaling than other scrapbooks. A band scrapbook does require a bit more journaling as many of the photos are taken from far away, and the kids all look the same in uniform. If you have a small notebook and pen, jot down the names of the kids in the photos you’ve taken.
If the kids and/or families get together for a social event, snap a few photos. It’s fun to see the kids out of uniform also.
If you can, get a few photos of the kids in the band room at school. After all, this is where it all begins.

26 Ideas for Construction Safety Meeting Topics
Nov 9th
Before starting any construction work in chemical plant, you will want to conduct construction safety meeting which is attended by safety in charges within your company or plant, construction workers and labors. It is usually conducted daily, weekly and or monthly within the construction schedule.
At that time, you should choose appropriate construction safety meeting topics. They are very important in which you communicate any safety-related topics with the construction jobs.
Below here are 26 ideas that you can choose for the construction safety meetings in the plant site. Selection of the topics will depend on hazard level of each construction work that you have assessed through the hazard identification and risk assessment.
Company’s safety regulations
Safety work permit procedure
Hot work permit procedure
Wearing personal protective equipment
Potential hazards at the plant site
Fire safety precautions
Working under confined spaces
Welding, brushing and grinding safety
Hazardous chemicals handling
How to safely handle flammable gas and liquid
Compressed gas safety
Electric tools
Electrical hazards at the construction site
Hard hat usage
Eye goggles usage
When to use hearing protection devices
Scaffolding
Fall protection
Safety of construction ladder
Crane safety
Chain block
Safety checklist for demolition
Chemical cleaning
Hydrostatic pressure safety
Construction communication procedure
Emergency response procedure
Select one of the above construction safety meeting topics according to construction work types. For instance, if the construction works done under confined spaces, you should prioritize confined space as your construction safety meeting topics. Give more weight on that topic. But always bear in mind that to give only topic for each meeting.
