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.
