ü A meeting for those parents who wish to serve as Chaperones for the 2009-2010 season will be held on August 25th at 7:15 in the Hanna Band Room.
ü All Schedules have been mailed out. A final schedule will not be available until camp as we are still waiting on some school events to be finalized. No new dates will be added, however several away games will be dropped and the location of the marching contests will be finalized. Please note that the first contest date on September 19th has been dropped.
ü Students are reminded to please bring a case of bottled water to band camp. We will use this during camp rehearsals.
ü A Gator Aide and a cracker/candy machine have been moved to the Band Hallway for use for the students during camp.
ü As in the past, chaperones will be available during lunch time for those students who stay at the school during their lunch break.
ü We have been notified that the current wind suits used by the Color Guard have been discontinued. While we are committed to keeping costs as low as possible for all of our students, we will have to request that all color guard members purchase new tops for the wind suits. The pants will not have to be replaced. We are working now to obtain the lowest possible price and will notify everyone during guard camp.
ü We can use any Latex paint in any color that you would like to get rid of. We can mix this paint and use it for “field marking paint” which will save money. If you have any old gallons of paint in any quantity, please just drop it by the band room. Partially used gallons are welcome!
ü We are going to start a separate uniform fund for those who wish to donate money for their replacement. At present, our uniforms are entering their ninth season, and the recommended average life of a set of marching uniforms is approximately seven years. This will be a
multi-year project that will establish a fund to purchase new uniforms. in 2012. Specific details for this project will follow soon.
HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT SUMMER!
