Announcements: Week of 11/10/2021

All families with students in marching band will receive a message from Ms. Carlson that includes their remaining balance for their marching band fee. These fees should be paid in full by the end of the semester. If you have any financial concerns, or if you are not sure if you qualify for assistance through the school district, please call the band office. We can work out a payment play to ensure your balance is paid by the end of the school year, or we can put you in touch with the Accountability Specialist at the school district office. We also have assistance available through the booster club for those families who need some help but may not qualify for assistance through the school. Additional information can be found HERE.

Announcements and reminders:

  • Football game Friday night at D3 Stadium.
    • Call time is 6:30 pm
    • We will be in full uniform for pregame and halftime but will change into jeans and purple band jackets after halftime.
    • Please see the attached agenda for more detailed information.
  • Please remember the marching band will perform at all home playoff games. These performances are mandatory for all winds and percussion. If you have a conflict, please contact the band office. All unexcused absences will result in a “0” grade for that performance.
  • The following dates should be on your calendars:
    • Friday, December 3 – Rock Hill Christmas Parade: mandatory attendance for all students
    • Saturday, December 4 – Fruit Delivery: mandatory attendance for all students who sold fruit

  • We are currently accepting information from 10th, 11th, and 12th-grade students who wish to be nominated for the USC Honor Band Clinic in February. Information and submission forms are attached and are available in the band room.
  • Please remember the 2nd payment for the spring trip is due on November 15th. Please be sure to send your payment directly to Stamm Travel with the payment coupon!
    • If you wish to pay using BCPs, please indicate this on the payment form you send to Stamm, and complete the BCP authorization form so we can transfer your payment. We will send one check to cover all BCP payments each month.
  • We still have spots left for this trip if you have not yet signed up!
    • The trip is April 8-11 and will include visits to Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and several other historic and educational locations throughout the weekend. Payment information, as well as detailed information about the trip, is available in the band room or on the website HERE

As always, please be sure to contact me if there are any questions or concerns, and hopefully you will be able to make it to one of our remaining halftime performances!
