Additional Comments
Greetings Parents!
School is around the corner, but regular band rehearsals are starting this week. Please make sure your band member has their supply items with them each time they go to rehearsal.
Supply Items:
- Field uniforms (issuede white t-shirt and black shorts)
String to hang their drill books around neck (similar to a lanyard)
- Mechanical pencils (we don't have the luxury of running to find pencil sharpeners during rehearsal)
- Sheet protectors (for music and drill)
- "Permanent" water bottles (not the Kroger or Dasani bottles)
Have a good week and hope to see you Tuesday evening at the Booster Meeting!
