Ride home forms are always due NO LATER than Thursday at 3pm FOR BALL GAME. No later than 3pm on Friday for CONTESTS. You can find one on the table in the front of the high school band room or on our website under forms. No forms due this week! NO DIGITAL COPIES!!! PRINTED ONLY AND CAN NOT BE LATE!!! The rule is if it's late you do not ride home, or you can choose too but you will be required to ride the bus for the rest of the season even if you do turn one in.
As we travel for games and contests, please remember we have a caravan order of directors, Bus 1, 18-Wheeler, Bus 2, Equipment, and then parents/friends who follow. Please don't get in between the first 5 so we can keep our radio contact. We do love our supporters following us, we just need to keep those radios close!
Contest season is starting, and we have a big season ahead of us. We need to have everyone at every practice and be prepared. We need to practice like winners!
Rules for being able to perform are as follows: Must have passed ALL memorization tests, no ISS and have participated in 2 full runs of the show prior to the performance. Starting this Friday if you have not passed tests or you miss making you not there for two runs of the show then you will stand at attention on the sidelines as we perform the show. You are still required to attend even if you are not eligible to perform.
ABSOLUTELY NO PDA!!!! Do that on your own time!
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!
