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 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.
