6. Students, marching practice starts at 4pm. Last week, several of you were loitering (at the vending machine, walking around the building) unsupervised. Consequently, I gave you a verbal warning. If it happens again, you will not be able to stay after school, if you are an instrumentalist, you will forfeit rehearsal and performance points. Auxiliaries your membership will be terminated. Students, do not force my hand. Be respectful, responsible, and teachable.
7. Marching Uniform Fee: The marching uniform cleaning fee was due last week. Please pay the required fee or risk losing the privilege to wear the uniform and forfeit future performances. The uniform fee must be satisfied this ASAP. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
7. Concert Uniform Fundraiser. Instrumentalist, remember our concert uniform fundraiser started this week and will end Sept 21.
8. Homecoming is a few weeks away. We have to learn a new field show, several new songs, and a new band dance. Students, please come to rehearsals prepared to learn and demonstrate what you practiced at home.
9. Band students, it is a privilege to be apart of the band. Make sure you complete all of your schoolwork so that the band not blamed for your lack of academic progress. If you do not do your class work it is because you had no desire to do so. Please, do not you the band as your scapegoat.
