Announcements 8/9/20

1)  I am expecting the main part of the NY refund to arrive this week.  I will send out a notice when that happens.  I plan to have a pickup area outside the band room for you to come by and pick the checks up from your car.  

2)  Band fees are being reduced to $50 for everyone.  Please get this in by the end of the month so that we can take care of expenses toward our group performances at football games.  If you had previously turned in the $150 Band fee, you can get that check back this week at the same time I have the NY refunds available outside the band room.

3)  We will have the band split into four groups at halftime this year.  Each group will perform 1 song.  Groups will be revealed this week and music will be ready to hand out the first day of school.  The entire band will perform the National Anthem before the game and then go inside during the game due to capacity limits in the stadium. During the first half, the band will be waiting in the school in four different areas to help with social distance, and will be dismissed after halftime.  I plan on everyone wearing polos with khaki bottoms for the performances, so I will be sending out a questionnaire this week to get student shirt sizes.

4)  Afterschool rehearsals are going to start on Tuesday August 18, and will go from 3:30 to 5 pm.  Be ready to go outside every day - which means have a change of clothes ready or wear summer clothes underneath your school clothes for a quick change.  Also, we need as much bottled water as we can get.  I encourage you to find some on sale every time you go to the store, or if you know of a business or individual who would donate a large amount please let me know.
