Great job at band camp!!!!!
We start school next week!!!
We will have class on Monday but it will only be for a few minutes. We start full out on that Tuesday.
Things you need with you every day at class/rehearsal:
Instrument
Music
Pencil
Rehearsal shirt (when they are in)
Comfortable athletic shoes
Dot book
Water Jug
We will be having two mandatory post camp days to finish learning the show. These days will be Aug. 15th and Aug. 22nd. These are extremely important and students are required to be there. If they do not attend they will not march a performance until they learn what they missed.
When we get ready for performances the following must be completed in order to perform.
Pass all memorization tests
Participate in two full run throughs of the show before performance (these only happen on rehearsal days)
Receive no disciplinary actions by the school
Maintain a c average in each class
Below you will see a list of things that need to be paid and their dates as of right now. I am going to only include the upcoming band fee as we are a month away from the 3rd one. Please pay for these separately as that is how we have to receipt them.
Band fee #2 - $100 due by last Friday
Uniform top - $96 due by Aug. 7th
Dot book - $20 due by last Friday

State Room-Deadline #2-OCTOBER 15TH FOR THE SECOND/FINAL ROOM PAYMENT OF $48 PER STUDENT
MAKE SURE TO PUT YOUR CHILD'S NAME, ROOM PAYMENT # 1 OR ROOM PAYMENT #2 OR FULL ROOM PAYMENT ON THE ENVELOPE WHEN YOU SEND THIS!
IF WE HAVE TO HAVE ONE ROOM WITH FEWER STUDENTS IN IT, THAT WILL ADD TO THE COST-If there is a room like this, it will be a Girls' Room as of today.
Guard and percussion sponsors are also due by this Friday. If you do not get all of your sponsors filled then you must pay for your section shirt. All guard and percussion fees are due by Aug. 28th. We are still missing some fees from percussion and guard.
When we start school we have a very limited number of rehearsals left. With that being said, if students have appointments please make sure that they are scheduled outside of Tuesdays and Thursdays to accommodate band rehearsals.
If your student has any questions we have a chain of command for them to go through.
Section leaders
Drum majors
Band captains
Staff if none of the others have the answers
With the new season starting, please be aware of office hours for staff. We will reply only within an hour of the ending of school on non-rehearsal days or an hour after rehearsal days. If we receive something after those times, please understand we will not send a response until the next morning once we get back to school. We all also have families and need to spend time with them as well. We are at school and work many more hours than we are at home, especially during the marching season because of Friday night games and Saturday competitions, so we please ask that you respect this time for our sanity and the students.
Our next fundraiser will be to sell theme shirts and spirit shirts. This will begin the first week of school and run for 2 weeks.
We will be having a pool party at the Rutherford pool on July 28th. This is for all current marching band students only. The party will be from 6pm - 8pm.
I think that is all for now. Please expect these emails to be sent out on Sunday evenings or Monday mornings.
