We’re looking forward to this week’s away game, which will be a long trip to North Port High School! Call time is 3:30pm and Healthy Snack will be given at 3:00pm. If you still want to purchase the Healthy Snack Meal Plan, please turn in your order and payment to Mrs. Robinson by this Tuesday, October 14th. Meal options are: a ham, turkey, veggie or BMT 6-inch Subway sandwich. The cost of the remaining meals is $24 ($6 a meal). Please pay by check or exact cash. 


All students will have the opportunity to buy food from the concession stand at North Port during 3rd quarter. Students must bring cash so that they can pay at the concession window. North Port is also pretty far away, especially by school bus. The estimated return time to PRHS is midnight for this coming Friday. Students must charge their phones so that they can call their rides. We will instruct the students to call home when we leave North Port and then again when we’re about 20 minutes away from PRHS.


This week’s Marchers of the week are Remington Newton (woodwind), Blake Waligora (brass), Dylan Hubbell (percussion), Alys Torres (auxiliary), and Alana Aikey (officer).


This week’s Section of the Week is our Trombone Section, led by Section Leaders Alana Aikey and Breanna Daly! Congratulations to all! Please keep up the good work!


Please don’t forget to sell Krispy Kreme Donuts and MBI Ads! Both fundraisers are due next week.


Please wish Ellie Carvajal good luck this week! She has been preparing for her All-State audition for months and her audition will be this Saturday at Golden Gate HS. Good luck Ellie, we’re all rooting for you!

The uniform for band will be full marching uniform, with this year’s silver Marching Pride band t-shirt, this year’s green band shorts, long solid black socks, and marching band shoes. Estimated return time to PRHS is midnight.

Alternate Travel Requests: Occasionally parents will request to pick-up their students from an event especially when we travel to away games. If it is absolutely necessary to pick-up your student from a band event, please fill out an Alternate Travel Form and return the completed form to Mrs. Robinson at least three days before the event. If you require alternate travel for your student for this week, the form is due to Mrs. Robinson by Wednesday, September 15th so that the form can be approved by Dr. Walcott. The Alternate Travel Form can be found on the band website under the “Students” tab at: https://www.prhsbands.org/2021-2022-info.html. Students who do not travel back to the school with the band will be responsible for making arrangements to have their instrument/equipment and uniform returned to the school.

Krispy Kreme Donut Fundraiser (Due 9/22): The Band Boosters are selling Krispy Kreme Donuts! Order forms are available in the band room. A box of a dozen donuts will sell for $12. All officers, percussion and auxiliary students are being asked to sell at least 2 boxes. All other students are being asked to sell at least 1 box. Orders are due by Wednesday, September 22nd.

MBI Program Ads (Due 9/24): We are selling Program Ads for our upcoming Marching Band Invitational (MBI). PRHS has hosted this competition for the past 17 years. Local bands from Southwest Florida are signed up to come and compete with their drumlines and marching bands. Placing an Ad can help promote a local business. Parents typically like to purchase a program ad to wish their student good luck and congratulations. The order form is available in the band room. All ads must be submitted by Friday, September 24th.

Saturday Marching Band Rehearsal (Sat. 9/25): All parents and students are being reminded that we’ve had a Saturday rehearsal listed on the band calendar since May 2021. This Saturday rehearsal is scheduled so that we can catch up with lost rehearsal time due to rain, lightning, and Covid. The rehearsal will run from 9:00am-2:00pm. There will be a lunch break. This rehearsal will be graded and all students are expected to attend.

Homecoming Dance and the LeHigh Lightning Tournament of Bands (Sat. 10/9): It was announced last Friday that they have decided to postpone the Homecoming Dance to either December or January, therefore there are no longer any conflicts with the LeHigh Marching Competition, which has already been scheduled for Saturday, October 9th. This event has been on our calendar since May 2021. The Marching Pride will compete at LeHigh and all students are expected and required to attend. The schedule for the competition has not been released yet. As soon as we know the times, we will provide more information. Competitions are typically an all day/all night event.  Thank you to all who turned in the survey that was sent out last week.

Naples Marching Band Competition (Sat. 10/16): The Marching Pride will most likely compete at Naples High School on Saturday, October 16th. Please be sure to turn in your agreement forms confirming your student’s availability by this Tuesday, September 14th.

Instrument Repair & Equipment: Our trusted local vendors are Cadence Music (239) 275-6262 and Christman Music (239) 254-8863. If needed, please be sure to get your instrument fixed and have all your needed supplies. Christman Music visits PRHS on Mondays and Cadence Music comes on Fridays.
