Girls can have their sizes determined at home using the sizing chart on the order form. Tux and Dress orders, and payments, are due in the "Blue Box" in the band room by Tuesday, September 7th.

September Water Duty signups are now available.
Water duty can only run efficiently if we have enough people signed up for all shifts. Keeping 3 people signed up on every shift helps to ensure that all areas of the band are sufficiently taken care of when they are split up and rehearsing in different areas all around campus.
Want to sign up for a specific time/day but the 3 spots are filled? Sign up as an Alternate! Sometimes we need to reach out to alternates for coverage if emergencies or illness keep one of the other volunteers from fulfilling their scheduled shift.

We're officially in the homestretch with only 12 games left for the season! We've got a couple of day games to fill and 3 games that fall on the same days as our own football games and Homecoming. These games are a little tricky to staff and we're probably going to need some help from recent graduates and alumni parents to get us through the baseball/football overlap.
A few reminders: If you feel comfortable manning the kitchen alone, please sign up for both positions so that we don't end up with too many cooks. If you need to be late, please make sure that you note in the comments what time you will be there. If you need to cancel within a week of the date you are scheduled to work, please try to find your own replacement.
