Were trying to schedule pancake breakfasts at Max & Ermas and Applebees
New uniforms are being ordered and should be here for the fall marching season.
The band boosters are obligated to pay a sizeable amount toward the new uniforms.
Fund raising is crucial to be able to meet this obligation and conduct business as usual.
Band Practice / Camp
Practice will be held July 14, 15 & 17 from 6:00 9:00 PM
Camp will be every weekday between July 21 & August 1 from 9:00 AM 4:00 PM
Practice will be held August 4, 5, 7 & 11 from 9:00 AM 12:00 PM
Due to our current financial situation and obligations, we will not be able to provide free lunches during band camp. We will be selling lunches for a small fee. Band members are free to pack their own lunches if they choose.
Band Fees will be due during band camp
The fee is $50 per marching band student
This helps to cover the cost of cleaning the uniforms as well as the cost of transporting the band equipment to and from ballgames, competitions and events as well as expenses for new equipment and props for this years show
New marchers will be fitted for shoes during band camp. Shoes will cost around $30.
New marchers will need to order summer uniforms. Need to confirm the cost, will post before band camp.
Do not ignore band fees. These fees are necessary. If this causes a financial hardship for your family, please contact Lyman McCoy or Mr. Wyscarver and we will work with you to make sure your child can participate in marching band.
