Cheesecake Fundraiser (Starts Mon. 8/26): Mrs. Robinson is starting a Cheesecake Fundraiser this Monday. The Cheesecake Company will be giving presentations to every class to discuss pricing and profit margins. This fundraiser is completely optional and not a Band Booster Fundraiser. The purpose of this fundraiser is to give families an opportunity to raise money for this year’s Disney Trip. The profits from this fundraiser can only be used towards this year’s trip. It is not an option to keep a “balance” for future trips. Profits that are not used towards this year’s trip will turn into a donation to the PRHS Band Program. 
 
Prop Painting (Starts Mon. 8/26): We’re looking for parent and student volunteers to help paint props this Monday and Tuesday from 3:00-5:00pm. Parent volunteers should email Mr. Anthony Rowtie at [email protected].Student volunteers will sign-up in the band room.
 
Coupon Book Fundraiser (Due Tues. 8/27): The PRHS Band Boosters are selling coupon books for $20. Each student is expected to sell one book. Profits from any book sold after the initial two can go towards this year’s Band Trip to Disney.

After School Rehearsals (Tues. 8/27 & Thurs. 8/29): For this Thursday’s rehearsal, we’re asking all band students to wear a white t-shirt and all auxiliary a black t-shirt. From now on, all students will be asked to wear a certain colored shirt for Thursday’s rehearsal. This is to help enhance the director’s ability to clean drill. Please refer to the PRHS Bands Calendar for all rehearsal and performance dates. Please take note, we have a Saturday rehearsal scheduled on September 14 from 9:00am-4:00pm. All after school rehearsals are graded.
