Marching Pride Jacket Orders (Due Mon. 11/15): All orders and payments are due by Monday, November 15th. We are hoping to have the jackets before winter break.
 
Make-up Assignments: Just another reminder, all students will have to request for a make-up assignment for any missed rehearsal and/or performance. More information has been posted on Canvas and Mrs. Robinson explained the process to students several times. Students have one week from their absence to request a make-up assignment. Once the request is received, students will be given 10 days to complete their assignment.
 
Concert Band Attire: It is each band family’s responsibility to order and purchase these uniforms. All uniforms take at least 2-4 weeks to be shipped, please do not wait until the last minute. Concert gowns and pants will need to be hemmed, so please take that into consideration when placing your orders. The suggested deadline for this attire is December 6, 2021 for our Winterfest Concerts, but the hard deadline is February 16, 2022 for our Mid-Year Band Concert and District Concert Band MPA. Instructions on how to order concert attire are posted under the Students tab in "2021-2022 Info."

All rehearsals are required and graded.
