I hope this email finds you well and enjoying a restful weekend.
At this point you should've received both and emailed band statement as well as a hard copy of of your band statement that was sent home with students. Please look these over carefully. We are in desperate need of fair shares to be up to date. We have updated everything in Charms as well as added all volunteer incentives at the printing of those statements. The only thing that has not been charged out is the school instrument rental charge of $50. All students playing a school-owned instrument will owe $50 to the band to go towards repairs and upkeep of those instruments. Again, please get these up to date now!
The All County honor band auditions will take place at Milton High School next Monday all Symphonic and Concert band students are required to audition as well as any percussion who wish to have a chance to be in symphonic or concert band. I will be posting an audition schedule this week in the band room.
Finally, please make sure you look at the Veterans Day parade schedule below carefully. Remember, this is a REQUIRED performance. Any absence regardless of reason will need to be made up as per the band absence policy.
That is all for now. I hope you have a super week!
