This Week's News
- Gig Sheets Out Today! And it is attached. Band members will be wearing FULL Dress Uniforms for the game. This is a home game - make sure your band member has snack money and is wearing the appropriate undergarments.
Band members should be in "halves" by 4:30 PM and those with "Dog Tags" should be wearing them.
- Drill Camp Saturday, Sept. 12 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM. Don't forget to be in your field uniform and bring your water bottles.
- Next General Band Booster Meeting Scheduled. It will be Tuesday, September 15 beginning at 6:00 PM. The location will depend on the availability of space that day.
- Note about PayPal. PayPal charges us a service charge per transaction. When we started using PayPal last year, the Band Boosters voted to pass the charge on to the band student. (A nominal fee for the convenience.) Since we didn't make a reminder announcement, the Band Boosters will cover charges incurred in July and August. What does this mean exactly?
The fee is 2.9% plus $0.30 USD of the amount you send. For example, if you send $100.00 USD by credit card, the fee would be $3.20 USD ($2.90 + $0.30). Your band account would be credited $96.80.
- Now Accepted: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, AMEX, and PayPal. Band fees can now be paid by using a variety of methods through PayPal. Don't forget donations! We have a place for that now, too. Visit the HHS Band website at http://www.hillwoodband.com/ to see (and use) them.

- Smart Cards (contact Ms. Andi DeJarnette at adejarnette@hotmail.com)
- City Book discount coupons (contact Ms. Andi DeJarnette at adejarnette@hotmail.com)
- Kroger cards (contact Mrs. Jody Gregory)
