Reminders for this week

Just a few reminders for the coming week.

All band members will be having their picture taken on Monday through Wednesday during 1st period. We will have band uniforms available to wear, but Raiderettes who are in band should bring their uniforms to school one of the three mornings so they can have their picture taken and then change before returning to class. Order forms are available for those interested in picture packages.

For those going on the Spain Tour, all passports, forms and dry cleaning receipts were due last week and need to be turned in immediately. Remember, raincoats do not need to be cleaned, and the all black uniforms worn by the tubas and percussion should be machined washed, not dry cleaned. More information regarding uniform exchanges for those with repair or fit issues will be coming out shortly.

Also, don't forget that Saturday, January 30, is the Chamber Music Festival. Final performance times will be available on Monday. More information, including the program and bios for our guest musicians, will be coming out later this week.

Final Spain Tour Invoices

Dear Spain Travelers,

GrandTours is in the process of preparing final invoices for the Spain tour. Part of this process is to apply fundraising credits for each student as a line item to each invoice. Because holiday fundraisers have just concluded, the reconciliation of fundraising profits and communication of these to GrandTours by SHHS will take time. Once a list of fundraising profits are received by GrandTours from SHHS, the amounts will be credited to your final tour invoice.

In order to avoid confusion, we ask that you DO NOT make your final payment to GrandTours until you receive a final invoice by e-mail. We expect this process to be completed sometime next week. Any questions about the amount of fundraising credit on the final invoice should be directed to SHHS and not GrandTours. The final payment for the tour is due to be postmarked by January 31, 2016. GrandTours understands that these payments may arrive after the due date.
