Mandatory Atlanta Parent Meeting

On Tuesday, October 27th, there will be a mandatory meeting for ALL parents of students that will be going on the Atlanta trip. Please report to the Band Room no later than 7:25 pm - we will begin at 7:30 pm and the kids will be joining us shortly afterwards. Once our meeting concludes at 8:10 pm, we will be treated to a runthrough performance by the best band in the land! Please plan to stay and see the show! :-)

Items to bring with you to the meeting:

1. $40.00 in cash, please. This is to cover the following meals:

Boxed lunch, delivered to practice site on Friday

Supplies for sandwiches & chips for post-rehearsal on Friday

Boxed lunch, delivered to practice site on Saturday

Late night pizza delivery at hotel on Saturday night

Cases of water for hotel and bus rides

Having cash on hand to pay to delivery person in one lump sum makes it SO MUCH easier than having each student pay individually. :-)

2. A box of individually wrapped snacks for late night, bus rides, etc. (examples: rice krispie treats, fruit snacks, small bags of chips/cheeze its, cookies, granola bars, etc)

3. Your completed Over the Counter Medication Authorization - this allows us to administer OTC meds such as Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, Tums, etc. to your student, should they need it.

Tarpon Springs Competition

We will be competing on Saturday, October 17th at TSHS. Itinerary will be released as soon as Tarpon gets us the final event schedule for the day.

Color Guard Pictures

Color Guard girls will have their photos taken on Monday, October 26th, along with anyone who missed pictures the first time, during first period ONLY. Viewing for these portraits will be Tuesday, November 3rd from 7-8 pm.

Picture Viewing for Hornline and Percussion

On Tuesday, October 13th from 5:30 pm-8:00 pm, Chris Gaines Photography will be on site so that hornline and percussion parents can view and purchase Marching Band Portraits.

This is also the only opportunity to choose the photo that will be on the Composite Board, which hangs in the band room for many, many years.

Please be reminded that students will not be excused from rehearsal to come in and view photos. Parents will be responsible for selecting composite.

Senior / Middle School Night

Hey y’all - while we all take the day to recover from Seminole Sound, please be thinking about where you can help with Senior/Middle School night on Friday, October 16th. Remember that this night is to honor our Seniors and their families, so we ask that Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior families step up to plan, execute, and donate meals for this one night. Details are below – please help in as many areas as you can!!

Food Donations – after the game, we will be hosting a reception for seniors and their families. This year, we have 24 seniors, and expect to feed 85-100 people. We need heavy appetizer type food, and drinks. Don’t forget – before you know it, you will be a senior parent, too – so jump in to make this great and show our senior families how much we appreciate their efforts over the last four years!

Concessions Stand – there are several senior families that normally work in concessions at our home games. We need to fill those spots – both stand workers and grillers. Please sign up here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4ea5ab2aaa8-football

Middle School Help – we will also be welcoming our Middle Schoolers on Friday evening – this is usually their first Marching Band experience, and we want to make them feel like family, as they are the future of our program!
