Good Morning All!
“May-cember” is in full swing, and no one seems to have time to spare. But we’re all in this together… it’s all for the kids… just keep swimming… and all that jazz! You’ve got this, Parents! 😁
Things to squeeze into your calendar:
Monday, May 18th, at 7:00pm is our next Penn Band Boosters meeting. All parents/guardians are welcome to join. If you are ready to share your time and voice with us, get all the band news early, and make an impact in your kids’ favorite part of Penn, come be in the room where it happens. 😉 (Save my number, if you have any trouble getting in the building, text me from Door C!)
Executive Board will meet @5:30 before the Boosters meeting, too.
June Days is two weeks from now, June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th!! 🎵
Incoming Freshmen Parents - June Days full of information, team building, music, and how-to’s; your kids will have so much to tell you each day! 💕
Thursday, June 4th, at 7:00pm we will have a REQUIRED parent meeting in the Penn CPA. Please make time to be there. You will get to meet the other band parents who will be your lifeline through the PMK season! (Can you say carpools?) You will meet your Section Parents who will set up each section (trumpet, sax, percussion, etc) for a great season. You will learn about how you can volunteer. PMK is most successful when we have strong parent support. We will talk about all the things you already have questions about, and you will get answers! 🙌
Hope to see you all soon!

Good afternoon Marching Kingsmen!
Because we have many recent registrants for marching band (and I learned that CutTime file uploads expire), I have linked here the upcoming Season Informational Packet and the Physical form which we need on file before band camp begins.
2026 Info Packet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12tOQZYE14KGiYO9oxGuvvKGXrs60XDLD/view?usp=drive_link
Physical: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10vzi4rranvjoFzBtOteGxFQ7HPuAQA7N/view?usp=drive_link
Also: I have linked information and a schedule for the Memorial Day Parades here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KlbdXkBW8hv_NXxfN_enIWYAVreuzeks1vkHr2yhd8E/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.gjdgxs
We consider the parades a requirement for anyone who was in the Fall 2025 marching band, and are not inviting current 8th graders unless they were with us this past season. This is for “experienced” members only.
Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Good Evening, All!
🎶 Next weekend, Fri/Sat - April 24th/25th, and the following weekend, Fri/Sat - May 1st/2nd, Penn is hosting the ISSMA District contest, then the Qualifier contest.

Please check your calendars and sign up for a spot. Many hands make light work… Thank you in advance for being so giving of your time! 😊

The fall 2026 Marching Band season is ramping up! We need your help to make sure we have the funds to purchase the items that are required at the beginning of band camp and we need to order those items now. The payment timeline denotes that $400 total be paid by April 1.

Opportunities to Support An Evening of Jazz
We are excited for An Evening of Jazz on Friday, February 6th, a signature event showcasing our talented jazz students. This evening also serves as an important fundraising opportunity, and we are reaching out to our generous band community for support. There are several ways you can help:
1. Become a Dessert Sponsor
We are seeking donors to help fund the dessert offerings served at the event. Any monetary donation is appreciated or if you know any business owners that may be interested in supporting our musicians, all sponsors will be acknowledged that evening.
To donate, please contact Teresa Hes at hesteresa@gmail.com.
2. Donate Items for the Silent Auction
Do you own or work for a business that can offer a product or service? Items may stand alone or be paired with others to create themed baskets. We will happily set your business cards by the item.
Examples include:
· Salon services (haircut, color, manicure, massage)
· Auto services (oil change, tire rotation)
· Restaurant gift certificates
· Artwork, personal training, pet services, mobile car detailing
· Any talent or service you can provide!
3. Create a Themed Basket
If you don’t own a business, you can still contribute by assembling a themed basket. Some ideas:
· Pet Basket – treats, toys, grooming items
· Bookworm – books, socks, snacks
· Taco Tuesday – salsa, chips, themed items
· Spa Day – face masks, scrubs, bath bombs
· Coffee Lovers – beans, mugs, French press
Hobby or fandom themes (gardening, scrapbooking, Star Wars, Taylor Swift), game night, puzzles, chocolate lovers, and more!
4. Support the Student Basket Competition
Each music class will design and create a basket for the silent auction. This teaches students about community involvement and fundraising—and the class whose basket raises the most wins bragging rights!
If you are able to donate an item or basket, please contact Kate Melody at katemelody98@gmail.com to coordinate drop‑off or pick‑up.
5. Participate the Night Of
If donating isn’t possible, you can still support the program by purchasing 50/50 raffle tickets and bidding on silent auction items at the event.
6. Lend a Hand Behind the Scenes
Join our crew by signing up on the SignUpGenius to help with event set up and/or tear down. Your help is greatly appreciated. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F054EADAC2CA4F49-61679458-2026#/
