Welcome to the new school year! We are excited about the 2008-2009 Cougar Bands! The following announcements should have made it home by now:
- Rules and Regulations Book Form: All students are responsible for returning the signature (top) page to the Rules and Regulations book. This was distributed at last week's parent meeting, and many of you returned it then. By signing this form, we have a record that you have received a copy of the Rules and Regulations book for this school year. This is a graded assignment and should be turned in by Wednesday, August 13.
- Trip Consent Forms: All students must sign and return a trip consent form for all out-of-school field trips that the band will participate in this fall. This form was distributed at the Parent meeting, and many returned it at that time. If you have yet to return it, please do so by Wednesday, August 13. In addition, those traveling to Monticello should have already returned a separate trip consent form.
- Finances: For those who did not attend the parent meeting, please be aware that students are required to make the following purchases:
- $26 - Marching Band Shoes (Freshmen and those who need them ONLY)
- $12 - Marching Band T-shirt
- $15 - Uniform Cleaning Cost (Color Guard is only $7.50)
- $15 - Marching Band Meal Cost
- The Pizza Fundraiser began last week. This is a great way to make money for the band program and for your student account. After the first 6 pizzas sold, the profit goes directly into your student account! End date of the sale is August 25, and the preparation/pick-up day is Saturday, 9/6.
- Monticello: Students received a packet of information about the trip on Tuesday of this week. You can also find that information online. See the links below. Please be sure to read through the itinerary, rules/regulations, and general information so you know what to bring! The final cost of the trip is $150.
