Please note- we usually don’t leave this early unless the game is very far away. We are leaving earlier due to the bbq supper.

Today is the last day to order t-shirts or hoodies for the makeup order.

Next week we will travel to our first ball game. The game will be away vs. Fairview. Details regarding times will be sent out next week.

Students must have their health form and rules form signed and turned in or they will not be allowed to go to the game.

Fairview hosts a BBQ supper each year and we as a band participate. This year they are offering BBQ or Chicken. The meal includes
BBQ Pork or Smoked Chicken
Baked Beans
Coleslaw
Bread
Drink
Dessert

The cost is $8 in advance and $10 at the door. If you are planning on eating or your child is planning on eating please send the $8 and place it in the box with name, amount and your meat choice on the envelope and place it in the box. Please support the band at Fairview as they always support our dinner when we host the game.

Band shoes, pep rally uniforms, tennis shoes and frat shirts all need to be paid for before they are picked up. All of these items are needed for the pep rally and ball games next Friday. log in to charms to check your account balance. Band students will also need to wear their band shirt on Friday to school so plan accordingly.

Band members that play a horn must purchase gloves. The cost for gloves is $3. We usually advise students to buy 2 pair up front as they get dirty and are easily lost.

Our evening rehearsals will end at 8 p.m. until after the first home game. After the first home game Thursday rehearsals will last until 8:30 and will be held in the stadium.

Check the band website often for updates and as always call or email for any questions.

Thanks to the band officers for setting this up. We are also asking that 7th grade parents attend the fitting with your child to help with sizes. This process takes a little time so please be patient as we go through to find the correct size for each student. Also it works better if students wear athletic shorts and a tshirt under the uniform. Gadsden music will also be here Monday during band camp to fit shoes.
