Dear Parents,

 

            Marching Band Sign-up is upon us!  I would like to welcome all returning parents and I look forward to meeting the new parents.  The staff and I are very excited about the 2009 marching season.   We have a lot of creative ideas and we are looking forward to getting to work.  I would first like to take this opportunity to introduce some of the most important points we will be covering on Sign-up night. 

           

1.    Band Sign-up night is Tuesday April 28th  at 7pm in the Carlson Cafeteria.  This is an informational meeting designed to explain the marching band obligations and commitments.  This is a very important meeting. There will be a lot of important information explained and I am sure that you will have questions.  Please have one adult family representative at the band sign-up night.

 

2.    At the sign-up the boosters will be presenting a number of different fundraising options designed to help defray the cost of Marching Band.  One of the options available is a $50 box of candy.  You will be able to purchase this box of individually wrapped candies and sell the contents for your own profit.  We are requiring that all members of the band sell at least one box of candy.  The first box sold goes to the Marching Band general fund, and subsequent boxes will go towards the student’s accounts.

 

3.    The Cost for band this year is once again $375.  The actual cost of marching band is around $400 per student; however we have capped our price at $375. There are a number of fund raising opportunities that students and parents can participate in to help defray this cost.  This will all be explained at the meeting. 

 

Once again I would strongly urge that one parent representative attend this meeting.  We are more than happy to address your questions and concerns.  Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

                                                                                               

Mr. Dave Brockington
