• Memorization tests have concluded. We are doing them a little differently this year as I am allowing students to test during class time with a video and upload it to google classroom. The grades for opener, warm-up, ballad, and  Amazing Grace are now set. Closer grades will be set in stone after Wednesday.

• When it comes to after school rehearsals, we do have a dress code:

• • Tuesday - Blue rehearsal shirt for band, Red for guard

  • Thursday - Red rehearsal shirt for band, Blue for guard

  • Friday Games - Blue rehearsal shirt under uniform

  • Saturday Comps - Red rehearsal shirt under uniform

• Rehearsal shirts are in! 

• Ride home forms are due NO LATER than Thursday at 3pm. You can find one on the table in the front of the high school band room or on our website under forms.

• Keep an eye on the band calendar as it has been updated and gives all dates for rehearsals, games, and contests. ALL rehearsals are mandatory, your grade will suffer if you miss, that does include the one during fall break. Plan accordingly. 

• Make sure that you look at your handbook for consequences for missing performances and rehearsals.

• Make sure that you are paying your Band fees. These can be paid by putting cash/check in the box in the band room. We are no longer doing PayPal as we were losing money because of the fee. All shoe and shirt payments must be paid in order to receive the order.

• As we gear up to do fundraisers everyone needs to understand that not participating is not an option. With a smaller ensemble everyone has to step up and do their part to raise money. We may be smaller but the things we have to do and participate in did not shrink. For all fundraisers each student will be tasked with a set number of items to sell or to get a certain amount in donations. YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO MAKE IT TO THAT SET NUMBER OR DONATION!!!!!  IT TAKES EVERYONE DOING THEIR PART TO RUN THIS ORGANIZATION!  THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!
