It was so great to be back in Bear Stadium on a Friday night! It was an exciting game and we loved cheering on our team with our cheerleaders and having the Marching Pride playing and dancing in the stands. Thank you to all who came out to support our school and we’d especially like to thank all our parent volunteers and Band Boosters who worked concessions, equipment, and chaperoning. We hope to see you again this Friday night!

This week PRHS is hosting their Open House on Monday night from 6:00-7:30pm. We are rehearsing on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30-8:30pm. On Friday, we have our home game against our “Band-in-Laws” Barron Collier High School! Call time for the game is 5:00pm and the game starts at 7:00pm.

CCPS is monitoring the weather very closely and will provide updates should there be an impact to school activities. For the latest information, please visit www.collierschools.com/weather

Game Day Student Drop-off and Pick-up: For Friday, please drop-off your student in either the back of the school by the portables or in the bus loop. Student pick-up will be in the main loop by the flagpole. Thank you for your cooperation.

Game Day Student & Staff Parking: All Marching Pride students, staff, and parent volunteers will park in the back parking lot by the portables for Friday night’s game.

Students will be provided with gloves when they return to the stadium. This process does not take long when all assigned students help out.

Instrument Repair & Equipment: Our trusted local vendors are Cadence Music and Christman Music. Both vendors drop of orders and pick-up instruments for repair at PRHS—but parents must call the vendor to make these types of arrangements. Instruments will not be picked up unless orders for repair are made with the vendor ahead of time. Contact information for Cadence Music and Christman Music can be found on the band website by selecting “Students,” then “Band Instrument Resources.”

Krispy Kreme Fundraiser (Starts Fri. 9/1): Our Band Boosters are starting their Krispy Kreme Fundraiser on Friday. Order forms will be distributed in class. This will be a Band Booster/Band Trip Fundraiser. All students are expected to sell 2 items for the Band Boosters. After the 2 items, all other profits can be used towards this year’s band trip to Disney. For more information or questions, please reach out to Band Booster Vice President, Mrs. Sandra Llorca at [email protected].
