Updated Medical Form and Preview Show Time Change

Due to a mistake on the medical form included in the original information packet, all band members will need to fill out an updated version that is being mailed home and should be arriving in the next few days.  If you did not receive an updated version, or have not yet filled out a medical form, you can find the new version here.

Also, to better accommodate the Freshmen orientation at the high school, the Preview Show on Friday, August 23 has been moved to 11:30 AM at the high school stadium.

Information Packet Forms Due Friday

The forms that were included in the 2013-2014 Information Packet are due on Friday, July 26.  Even if you are paying online through Pay-For-It, we still need the hard copies of the forms for our records.  Please mail-in or drop off forms in the HS office.  If you did not receive a packet or need extra copies of the forms, they can be found on the Forms Page.

Senior Banquet RSVP

All senior families are reminded to RSVP for the Senior Banquet on April 22 as soon as possible.  If you did not receive an invitation, please contact the band office.

Band Uniform Collction

All remaining Band Uniforms will be collected in the South Gym between 7:45 and 8:45 AM on Tuesday, April 9. (This is intentionally before first period on a Tuesday late start day). This includes uniforms from trip participants, as well as from any students who were originally on the trip list and therefore did not hand in their uniform in the fall, and any other students who for some reason still have their uniform or part of a uniform.  Students should enter the South Gym from the Band Room parking lot so as not to disturb the Tuesday morning teacher meetings.

 

Any parents who are available to help with this effort between 7:30 and 9:00 AM on Tuesday, April 9, please email Mary Hundert at maryhundert@aol.com.
