eNotes from the Podium

GENERAL
What a year it has been. There will be one final “regular” edition of the eNotes next week following our Band Booster meeting. There will be periodic updates over the summer updating you on any changes or things of importance.
CONGRATULATIONS – To all students involved in all of the recent concerts. We have again raised the bar of expectations! This was a wonderful concert season and culminated with a tremendous performance by all! To hear your recordings, check out the website!
BAND BOOSTERS – We had a GREAT turnout at our last meeting. We would like to do even better at this meeting (June 9th – 7pm – Choir Room). We have a few things to discuss including next years budget and officers. Our fall show is a large undertaking with the amount of “props” and equipment we will need to travel with. We would love to have a huge turnout at this meeting to get the volunteer information out! If your student is new to High School or new to the Marching Band – this is a GREAT organization to get involved with!
EQUIPMENT AND UNIFORMS – Everything should be turned in or “rechecked out” at this point. No student should have a uniform of ANY type (except those who made arrangements for senior pictures)
MARCHING BAND REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE - We need ALL students who are planning on registering for marching band to do so BEFORE you leave school. We have had a bit of confusion. The basic registration for the website does NOT register you for marching band. To register for marching band you must do the separate
Marching Band Registration form. If you are unsure if you are correctly registered – email
Mr. Bartz to check. We have already purchased the music and are getting ready to order the drill (formations). In order to do this accurately we need to know about EVERY student planning to march. Upon registering we are asking for a $35 down payment. This will assist us in making the early purchases needed to be ready for camp! Please see the attached flyer for our expected payment schedule.
Starting next week – ALL PAYMENTS MUST GO TO THE BAND BOOSTER PO BOX. Regarding scholarships – we have an application form this year. If you are in financial need please contact Mr. Bartz for a scholarship form.
CALENDAR – Please check the calendar regularly! The moment things are confirmed, the calendar is updated. Most of the dates and times for all of next school year are already on the calendar!
