We hope that everyone enjoyed Homecoming Week! Thank you to everyone who participated in the events provided by our SGA. Hopefully, you received the Tropical Storm Ian update from the district. For now, we will continue with our plans for this week. If there are any updates, we’ll be sure to send those out via email and social media. Thank you to Mr. Rowtie, our Band Boosters, Band Staff, and Student Leaders for all of their help in preparing the band room and Music Department areas in the event that there is a storm.

Students who do not attend will have to complete a make-up assignment in order to perform at the Lehigh Competition. If this make-up assignment is not completed with a passing grade, students will be suspended from the Home Game Performance on 10/7 and the Lehigh Competition on 10/8. Krispy Kreme Fundraiser (Due Fri. 9/30): Our Band Boosters are holding their annual Krispy Kreme Fundraiser! Students have the option to sell boxes of donuts and/or digital coupons. Boxes and digital coupons are $12 each. Students who are going to Texas will have the opportunity to earn $5 towards their trip for every box/digital coupon sold. This is also a general fundraiser for our program, so we’re asking all students to participate. Students who are not going to Texas will help raise money for marching band season expenses. There are separate instructions on how to sell digital coupons online and then there is a separate order form for those who wish to sell boxes of donuts. Please contact Band Booster Vice President, Mrs. Sandra Llorca at sandra.llorca@icloud.com if you have any questions.
