IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO ORDER PICTURES!
If you did not order pictures last month, it's not too late! The photographer only charges us for the large annual "composite" photo (like the ones hanging all around the band room) if we don't have enough photo orders. Right now we don't have enough, so please consider supporting this by ordering pictures. Visit http://pdiportraits.com to order online.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (and answers!):
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (and answers!):
Q: Can I wear Crocs for marching band outdoor rehearsals after school?
A: NO. Marching Band is an athletic activity, and Crocs are not appropriate, even in "action mode." (It is impossible to roll step correctly while wearing Crocs or any other type of sandal.)
Q: Can I wear blue jeans for marching band outdoor rehearsals after school?
A: NO. Marching Band is an athletic activity, and blue jeans are not appropriate wear.
Q: What SHOULD I wear for marching band?
A: A comfortable t-shirt/top, shorts, and athletic shoes with socks. Shoulders and belly buttons must be covered. You’ll be most comfortable with a hat and sunglasses.
Q: What do I need to bring to marching band rehearsal?
A: Always have your dot sheet (in a plastic sleeve, with a lanyard around your neck), a pencil, and your instrument/equipment. Most people like to bring WATER, sunscreen, and bug spray.
Q: What do I do if I need to miss a rehearsal?
A: Contact Mr. Carter. The best way to do that is by email at hank.carter@screven.k12.ga.us. (Guard members may contact Mr. von Waldner instead.) Do NOT ask another student to tell us.
Q: What is our rehearsal schedule? Is the band playing at the football game? What time do I need to be at school? Etc. etc.?
A: All of this (and much, much more!) can be found on the band's Google Calendar. Scroll up to see the calendar; scroll down to find out how you can link it to your own Google stuff.
Q: Do you have an extra copy of the Performer Contract?
A: Of course! Click here: 2019 SCHS Band Performer Contract
