I hope this message finds you well, and that the wintry weather over the weekend didn’t cause too much trouble. As you know, we are hosting a winterguard show on the 29th. This show has traditionally been a significant source of income that helps to balance our budget and keep band fees low. Our fee has not increased in over 15 years, which is due primarily to the successful marching band and winterguard events that we are able to host. It is very important that all band families volunteer for a work assignment to help this show run smoothly. Volunteer signups are available now in Charms, please sign up for at least one shift! Use school code “northwesternhsband” when prompted, and then select the “Volunteers” drop-down menu in the upper left corner.
Announcements and reminders for this week include:
- Click HERE to sign up for a volunteer shift for the winterguard show on January 29th. The school code is “northwesternhsband”
- All-State and All-State Jazz auditions have been postponed and are now scheduled for Saturday, January 29th at Lexington High School
- Our annual coffee sale starts today and will run through Friday, January 28th. In addition to coffee, we are also offering popcorn! It is a quality product and I encourage everyone to purchase some coffee. As with all our fundraising events, 50% of the profit will go to the booster club and the other half will go directly into your BCP account to use for trip payments, band fees, or musical supplies.
- Students and parents, please be sure to check canvas regularly for assignments, reminders, and to keep up with your grade.
- Please remember the January payment for the spring trip was due on January 15th. Send your payment directly to Stamm Travel with your payment sheet!
- 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.
- There still is room for some additional travelers (including parents!) who are welcome to travel as tag-alongs. Please contact Mr. Yost if you would like to join us on the trip and haven’t signed up yet.
As always, please be sure to contact us if you have any questions or concerns and thank you again for all you do for our program!
