Sunday 2/15 Pancake breakfast:

We are opening up the Pancake breakfast fundraiser for ALL BAND STUDENTS. We need to sell 100 tickets to the pancake breakfast and we only have sold 21, so we are opening it to all band students. If we sell 100 tickets, the students will make $6 for every ticket they sell. Here’s the information:

Hi, everyone!

We will be holding a Pancake Breakfast at Applebee’s (120th & Grant) on Sunday, February 15th, from 8-10 am. Tickets are $12 each, and includes a plate of pancakes, sausage, and scrambled eggs, along with a drink (coffee, OJ, soda or water). Please click this link to purchase your tickets!

Monday 2/23 6:30pm: Band meeting! This is going to be a BIG meeting with a LOT of information. If your student is planning on being in band next year, please plan on attending. The marching show for next year will be revealed as well as next years band trip! You do NOT want to miss this meeting.

Tuesday 2/24 6:30pm: The Winds Ensemble will be playing at Shadow Ridge.

IMPORTANT

We still have $20,000 of band fees that need to be collected. It is extremely important for you to pay your band/winter guard/winter percussion fees ASAP. We need to have all fees paid in full by April 1st so we can do our budget for next year. Unfortunately, if we are short from band fees not being paid, it will impact our budget for next year. If you are struggling to pay your fees, please reach out so we can set up a payment plan, otherwise, please go to the fees section to pay.

Please remember to pay your students band fees and winter percussion/winter guard fees. 

• You can check balances on the band website (password has been emailed to all band emails)
• We are transitioning to Zeffy and CutTime, platforms designed for 501(c)(3) organizations

Pay band fees via Zeffy:

When prompted, you may choose Other → contribution → $0 to avoid donating to Zeffy. Please include your student’s first and last name so payments are credited correctly.

CutTime will also be sending out statements for remaining balances. Questions may be directed to our treasurer: [email protected]

Good evening band families,

Check the calendar! Lots of stuff going on!

We are in need of some parent volunteers who are able to come to the school this Friday February 6th at 5pm to help re-assemble and put away the uniforms that just came back from the cleaners. We are hoping to get around 6 volunteers. The students have a basketball pep game that night, so if you are free, please sign up here: Uniform Help
