Hello All,
Please see the schedule below for events this week. I hope everyone's first week of school was amazing! Happy second week to all.
First Home Game - This Friday is our first football game of the year! I hope all of you are excited! See the itinerary below. Remember, we will wear summer uniform for this game. Leadership may wear leadership shirts. Call time is 6:00pm and kickoff is 7:30pm.
BPA Dinner for Students - The BPA will be serving optional dinner for students at the concession stand at the football field this Friday. This is a free meal for students beginning at 4pm. Students, please make sure you eat something before the 6pm call time.
Attendance - It is VITAL that all students are at all rehearsals and performances! The band is negatively affected when students are absent. A big portion of the band grade, be it marching, concert, indoor, or more, is attendance. Students will receive a zero in the gradebook for each absence. Depending on the situation, students may make up these absences with an assignment given by the directors. This could be a one hour practice session at the band room outside of normal rehearsal times, an essay, pass-offs, etc. Remember, while performances are required, they are also earned and a privilege. Directors reserve the right to deny performances for any student if deemed that the student is not holding up to the standards and responsibilities of the band; this does include in other classrooms as well. To put it simply, just be present and prepared.
FSU Band Day - On September 6th, FSU will be hosting their band day event. This event gives students the opportunity to see the marching chiefs up close in person and attend an FSU game. We have received 110 FREE tickets for this event. We still have plenty of seats. Band students and parents may sign up to attend. The cost is $60/person. This is for the cost the buses. This is a first come first served basis. Money must be turned in directly to the directors upon signing up. No online payments can be made for this. Checks or cash only. Also, since this is outside of the normal band fee, no overage of CutTime payments will be able to be used for this.
Here is the itinerary for that day:
East Milton ES Pep Rally - We have been asked to perform this Friday August 22nd at Eat Milton ES. We need all leadership for this and invite anyone else that can get a ride over for this. The meeting time at East Milton is 7:30am. This is a great time to show off for our future panthers!
MoneyDolly FR - WOW! We have reached our goal of $25,000 raised for the band, and surpassed it by raising over $30,000! Thank you to all who participated in this fundraiser. I will get a print out soon and will credit the students that participated.
Lumpia Fundraiser - We have pushed the kickoff of the lumpia fundraiser to next week. school. Our BPA committee has been meeting weekly to prepare 40,000+ hand-rolled lumpia. This is also our very own recipe. Go ahead and get the word out now.
Loading Crew Sign-ups - Our Band Captains have placed the loading crew sign-ups on the locker room door. Please sign up by the end of the day Monday. The captains will announce loading crew after that.
