Welcome to the new school year! I’ve been out with Covid since last week and am very much looking forward to getting back with the band next week! I had to move our band parent meeting from August 15th to Thursday, August 18th. Here are some very important dates and links for you to stay in the loop:

August 15th, 4:30pm-7:00pm – FIRST AFTER SCHOOL REHEARSAL!!!
To avoid the dangerous afternoon heat we have moved after school practice/rehearsal to Mondays and Thursdays 4:30pm – 7:00pm. Students may stay in the band room after school to do homework or practice. If transportation is an issue we have ride sharing available, just let me know. These practices are part of the grade and are very important to the bands success. First game August 26th😊
August 18th, 7:15pm – Band Parent Meeting (come early to watch the band rehearse and pay your fees)
This will be a very important meeting where you will learn about upcoming band events, be able to pay your fairshare (10% deal extend to August 18th) and fill out necessary paperwork. You will also get to know our band booster board who are looking for volunteers to chaperone and work the concession stands at football games. We will need at least 10 chaperones and 15 concession volunteers for our football games.
Items to be purchased at our Parent Meeting August 18th:
Fair Share – $150
What is Fair Share? As its name implies, it is your band/color guard member’s fair share of costs that are incurred for halftime show design expenses, instructor expenses, dry cleaning of uniforms, etc. Our program is not provided or supplemented by any funds from the school district or any other entity to cover these expenses.
Marching Shoes – $28 dollars
For those incoming band members who do not have band shoes and for those returning who may have outgrown their previous band shoes, they are required to purchase shoes. (This does not apply to any band student who still fits in their previously purchased shoes or to color guard members.)
Marching Gloves – $8 dollars
New gloves are required each year and the members receive two (2) pairs. (Note: We will be wearing our new marching band uniforms this season, and we will be wearing black gloves.)
Show Shirt: $15.00 (S – XL) or $18.00 (2XL – 4XL)
Show shirts are part of our uniform and are required. We have AMAZING show shirts this year! I think everyone will be very happy with it, and FAMILY/GUARDIANS/FRIENDS are welcome to purchase one as well. Since we are selling these basically at cost, this is not a money-maker for us.
To make things easier we have a payment plan for the Fairshare:
September 1 – $50 dollars
October 1 – $50 dollars
November 1 – $50 dollars
***Take advantage of a 10% discount if paid in full by Aug. 18th***
