Marching Band Shoe Orders (Past Due): Mrs. Robinson is no longer accepting orders for marching band shoes. If by chance we have a student’s size, we will sell them what we have in stock. If we do not have their size in stock, they will have to purchase the shoes on their own. The cost of purchasing shoes on your own goes up to about $40. Mrs. Robinson will provide students with the website and product information when needed.
 
Band Booster Meeting (Mon. 8/30): Our Band Boosters are holding their first official meeting of the year on Monday at 7:00pm in the band room. All parents are encouraged to attend. The Boosters will discuss upcoming events and plans. This is a great way for parents to get more involved in our program.  

Thursday’s Marching Band Rehearsal (Thurs. 9/2): The band will be practicing in their bibbers and hats during this Thursday’s rehearsal, weather permitting. This is to get the students used to wearing their uniform while performing. Band students will wear a black shirt and athletic shorts with their bibbers and hats. Auxiliary will wear white on black. Please remember to bring your jug of water to every rehearsal!
 
Home Game vs. Barron Collier (Fri. 9/3): Call time for this Friday’s game is 5:00pm. Students will meet in the band room. The band room will be closed from 2:30-4:30pm. The uniform for auxiliary will be pre-game top, black leggings, tights, black outdoor shoes, earrings and full hair and make-up. The uniform for band will be full marching uniform, with this year’s silver band t-shirt, this year’s green band shorts, long solid black socks, and marching band shoes. To clarify, as stated in the Band Handbook: Band students with hair that runs below the shoulders must tuck their hair completely into their hats when in full uniform. Band students who choose to wear earrings, must wear earrings that are black, silver, gold, or white diamond studs. Dangling earrings are not allowed.  
 
Jazz Band Event Contracts (Due Fri. 9/3): As per request, Mrs. Robinson put together all Jazz Band events in a separate handout. These contracts were given to all jazz band students during class last week and are due back during class on Friday. The contract has been sent via email and will also be available on Canvas. As per student request, these contracts will be returned to Mrs. Robinson or Mr. Claro as a hard copy. Submissions will be not completed through Canvas.
 
Tri-M Music Honor Society Info Meeting (Wed. 9/8): PRHS is proud to announce that we are starting a Music Honor Society called Tri-M! We’re holding an informational meeting for students who are interested in joining. Students must be a junior or senior who is currently enrolled in orchestra, choir, band, or auxiliary. Students must also have completed at least one full year of band, orchestra, choir, or auxiliary, they must have maintained an “A” average grade in their music class in the previous year and they must have at least a 3.0 unweighted GPA. A flyer with more information has been attached to this email.
