This is the last week for after school rehearsal-LET'S MAKE IT THE BEST!
STATE HOTEL ROOM MONEY IS DUE ASAP!
All-West money is due for a few of you!
For each after-school rehearsal you will need specific things. Below is a list of the items you need at EVERY REHEARSAL:
· Instrument
· Dot book
· Dot sheet
· Music
· Pencil
· Red Rehearsal shirt Tuesday/Blue Rehearsal shirt Thursday PLEASE REMEMBER THIS SCHEDULE, IT HELPS REHEARSAL!
· Red drinking cooler
· Tennis shoes (hey dudes, crocks, boots, hiking books, converse, etc do not count as tennis shoes.)
· Great attitude ready to give 110% every rehearsal!!!
ALL STUDENTS are to be ON TIME for all call times. Please make plans in advance to have students on time. Contact Mr. Agee if there is an issue.
It is very important that everyone is at all rehearsals this week.
Each student is required to be at all performances. If they miss a performance, their chance of passing the semester is in great jeopardy. Please consult the handbook for consequences.
This Friday during class time 1:30 we need for ALL marching band students to be at the high school for one final rehearsal and performance. We ask that all middle schoolers be present for this as this will be the very last time of the season.
There will be 2 times that you can check your student out after state. The first is on Sunday when we load the bus to go to the mall. The second will be once we load the bus at the mall to come home.
Everyone needs to make sure that your concert horn is working for the week after state. Do not wait until later to get that together you need to do that NOW!!! Everyone must be on their primary instrument. Color guard, you will have the option of writing papers for grades or you can learn an instrument and perform on the concert.
Reminder that to attend the band banquet you must be in both marching band and concert band. Exceptions: color guard who do not play an instrument at all and students who have a sport 4th block.
All-West students, auditions this year are taking place at Collierville High school. Once I have audition times I will post those.
PARENTS WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!! If we do not have volunteers, then it is hard for the band to function. If you have an issue and would like to speak with me privately about it please do!
I am still missing student payments for band fee and their uniform fee. The updated debt list is on the window in the band room.
We are missing some students in the Disney sign up. Please get signed up asap. We must have a minimum of 50 performers to be able to march.

Disney information: Registration ends February 6, but we ask that you register early to allow us to plan accordingly. Once you register, the website will give you a timeline of when certain amounts should be paid as well as a deadline for when full payment must be completed. If you have family members who want to go with us, please forward this email and information to them.
1. Once clicking the link below, select “Register now” to proceed. You will have to create an account with your email and create a password for the portal. (In some cases, school domain emails may be restricted, please use a Gmail or other email.) You will then receive an email to verify your account before you can continue (Sometimes it may be in your spam folder).
2. Everyone participating on the trip must register with the portal. For anyone under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian must complete the registration on their behalf. Multiple people from the same family on the same trip can register together so they have a single log-in. (i.e. a dad chaperoning on a trip with their child or both parents with a child on the same trip). You still register each person and have to select the packages each one is doing and complete all the information required for each participant. Everyone registers under the student cost-all cost the same.
3. Complete all the required information necessary. (personal data, emergency data, etc.)
4. Choose the applicable package for the trip of the person you are registering.
5. Choose an insurance option: Enhanced, Standard or Decline. You must choose one of the 3 to complete your registration. The insurance options will be shown as Enhanced Coverage, Standard Coverage, or Decline. It is encouraged to select and purchase insurance to protect your trip. If purchasing the Enhanced Coverage, you must purchase within 20 days of registration and deposit. Following insurance options, you will continue to the page for setting up your credit card or ACH Transaction options for payment. If you are not selecting insurance, there will be an option to decline and proceed to the payment arrangements.
6. While registering, members will get to the point of completing their info and selecting insurance and a screen is indicating you are almost complete, you just need to “pay the deposit.” The portals have been set up to combine the trip deposit and the insurance together as the ‘deposit.’ The portal has been set-up with the required deposit amount due at registration and the payment dates for additional payments.
7. The portal will show a screen where the total trip cost is displayed with the insurance amount with a ‘proceed to payment’ option. This is not the payment selection. When you proceed to make the payment, the next screen is where you enter your payment method (credit card or ACH) and then the last screen will show ‘Select payment’ options of paying balance, paying deposit or specific amount. The deposit due amount should reflect the amount for the trip deposit and insurance. You can select any of the three options based on your payment amount you desire to pay. You are required to agree to and sign all required documents.
