Hello Everyone,
Hope you weathered the storm alright. We had a very successful band camp last week! If you missed band camp don’t worry, we are going to have makeup sessions every Wednesday after school. With our first football game coming up (second week of school) things will be moving fast. Here is some information to help you navigate:
Tuesday, August 6th – Band Uniform Fitting 8am – 2pm
All band members are encouraged to get fitted for a uniform before school starts. Come down to the band room anytime between 8am till 2pm. We have many new band members to and our first football game is just around the corner (August 23rd)
Thursday, August 15th from 4:00pm-6:30pm – FIRST AFTER SCHOOL REHEARSAL!!!
To avoid the dangerous afternoon heat our after school practices/rehearsals are Mondays and Thursdays 4:00pm – 6:30pm. Students may stay in the band room after school to do homework or practice. If transportation is an issue, please let me know and we will try to find a ride. Our practices are part of the grade and are very important to our band’s success. First game is August 23rd.
Thursday, August 15th 7:00pm– Band Parent Meeting
This will be a very important meeting where you will learn about upcoming band events, be able to pay your Fairshare $150 (10% off if paid by August 15th) 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 our football games. We will need at least 10 chaperones and 15 concession volunteers for our football games.
Items available for purchase at our Parent Meeting August 15th:
(check your email for order forms)
You may pay by check, cash or credit card. We also have a PayPal account to make payments, look for Hhsclassactband@gmail.com Make sure to include the student’s name and items being purchased in the PayPal message box.
Fair Share – $150 ($135 if paid in full by August 15th) 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 – $32 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.)
Marching Gloves – $5 dollars New gloves are required each year and the members receive two (2) pairs.
Show Shirt: $17.00 (S – XL) or $21.00 (2XL – 4XL) Show shirts are part of our uniform and are required. We have AMAZING show shirts this year! 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.
