Mandatory parent meeting to discuss our trip to Lynchburg will be held this upcoming Thursday, October 17th at 6:30pm. Practice for students is from 2:30 – 6pm, and students will be expected to attend, along with at least one parent. This meeting is mandatory, as we will discuss rules, itinerary, attire, meals, etc. for the Lynchburg, VA trip.

Things that will be collected at meeting:

1.       Money for meals and entertainment – please bring payment for $65 to the meeting for pre-paid meals/activities/ drinks & snacks.  Check or cash is easiest, or we can accept credit/debit card payments with a small service fee. 

2.       Permission slip – attached to this email if you have not already turned in.

3.       Over the counter medication permission form – attached to this email if you have not already turned in. We cannot give your student Advil, Tylenol, Benadryl, etc. if we do not have this signed form.

4.       Snack and water donations – we will have snack bins and water on hand for all students during bus rides and in hotel rooms. We cover some of these with student pre-paid money, but we also need parents to donate individually wrapped snacks and cases of water. It takes a lot to make sure we are covered for a 4 day trip! 

5.       Extra-large plastic bins to hold snacks and water – we will return these after trip! Please mark with your name so we may know who to return to.

6.       Students will need to purchase 2 new pairs of gloves on Tuesday, October 22, after practice. ($14) The gloves will be placed in their shakos that evening for safe travel to VA, and not brought home with them.

Please remember that all students, and at least one parent or guardian are required to attend. See you there!

 

We are still looking for chaperones/ prop parents for our trip to Lynchburg, VA. Please see the requirements listed. We need experienced chaperones on this trip as it is an overnight. All parents signed up (chaperones, uniforms, and prop team) are expected to assist in hotel chaperone duties as well as regular competition duties.

·       You are required to be an active Level 2 chaperone for this event.

·       Chaperones will need to attend the chaperone training meeting and sign the acknowledgement and agreement form. Seasoned chaperones will receive preference, & chaperone sign ups must be approved by Mr. Madrinan prior to the event. You will be notified if you have been selected.

·       Volunteers for this event will be selected prior to the trip. Because of this, all volunteers selected for this event will need to have previously served on water duty and on the chaperone, uniform, or prop teams during other events of this season.

***Please be advised there is a travel cost associated with serving on this event***

 

Please join us at Panda Express for dinner October 16th and Panda Express will donate 20% to our Warhawk Band.  Please download or print the flyer, you will need to bring it with you for the donation to occur.  You can also order on-line – please use online code 302491.

October Fair Share is due October 15th.  All other months Fair Share are overdue. We are in the middle of travel and competitions and it is imperative that we keep Fair Share contributions coming in. If you need to make other arrangements, please contact any Executive Board Member or Mr. Madrinan. 

 

Students who participate in Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Studies, and the Percussion Ensemble have a “concert black” dress requirement. Male students wear tuxedos and female students wear long black dresses.

Returning students can wear their attire from last year, if it still fits well, since no changes have been made to the formal wear requirements. New students will need to purchase their concert blacks. Arrangements have been made to order as a group to minimize price and shipping costs.

Specific ordering information, including exact prices, are included on the following pages.

Female Students: Dress orders & payment are due Friday, October 18th. An order form, including a photo of the dress and a sizing chart, are provided on the following pages. The dresses should arrive & be distributed to the students by the end of November. The length will require alteration as they are all shipped with extra length to accommodate all girls’ heights. Alterations must be done in a timely manner since the Winter Concert is on December 12th. Girls are required to provide black dress shoes of their own choosing.

Male Students: Order forms and payment are due on Friday, October 18th. Tronn Goehring will do Tux fittings (representing The Memory Maker) in the uniform room from 7:00am till 9:03am on Thursday, October 17th. This is the only day for fittings, so please ensure that your student is in attendance at least long enough to be measured during this time frame. Gerard will give a class-pass to those that need to come to the fitting. Tuxedos should arrive & be distributed to students by the end of November. Please have students try on the tuxedos right away in case further alterations are needed. Boys will also be required to provide black dress shoes of their own choosing.

For those that cannot afford to purchase their own concert attire, there are limited tuxes and dresses available that have been donated from band alumni students. Please note that not all sizes are available. If you need to borrow concert attire, please let us know so we can arrange a time to try on items available to borrow. You will need to have the items cleaned by a dry cleaner and returned at the end of the season. Shoes are not available for borrowing. You will have to provide your own.
