This Week's News
- TONIGHT'S MEETING CANCELED! The main purpose of tonight's band meeting was to collect the remaining money due, and to complete the Emergency Medical and Release Form. This is a requirement of Thomas Tours' insurance and everyone who is going on the Chicago Trip must complete one. Therefore in light that tonight's meeting is cancelled due to snow (once again), Gail Reeder will be sending home the forms with the students once school reconvenes. She will then get them notarized.
When you received your statement last week, you also had a letter stating the money you owed for the trip and the remaining band fees. If you didn't get a letter, then you owe nothing. The letter indicated the correct amount and not the $175.00 that was stated in the newsletter. Please mail, send with student or bring by the school your remaining Chicago amount. We have to pay Thomas Tours by this Friday. Gail Reeder is at the school even though school is closed but call before coming 259-2025 x2307. Thank you for your patience and understanding for canceling again the meeting. Mother nature is not cooperating!
- Spring Band Calendar Ready. The spring calendar is ready and can be found on the band's website, or downloaded directly here . If your band member has a conflict, please send word to Mr. Chester as soon as possible by using the Calendar Conflict form available on our website, or can be downloaded directly here.
- 2010 Wind Ensemble Supply List Now Available. Please review the supply list and gather items for your band member. The first supply check will be February 16, 2010. The supply list can be accessed here.
