It’s very important that if you plan on volunteering that you communicate with our chairs. These parents will be giving a list of names to Activities so there is no confusion as to who is volunteering.

 
 
Cheesecake Fundraiser: All Cheesecake orders are due by Monday, October 16th. Students will profit 40% from each cheesecake sold. All proceeds will go towards this year’s band trip to Universal Studios. Any extra profits will go towards the PRHS Band Program.
 
 
Marching Pride Pink Out Shirts: Mrs. Yates will be passing out the Marching Pride pink shirts on Tuesday after practice in the band room. If you have not paid for your shirt, please bring your payment. There are extra shirts for anyone who is interested in purchasing a shirt.
 
 
MBI Parent Volunteer Meeting: The Band Boosters will be holding an informational meeting for any parents who are willing to help with our Marching Band Invitational. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 17th at 6:30pm in the band room. Parents who are unable to attend but interested in helping should email Mrs. Yates at [email protected].
 
 
Saturday, 10/21 CCPS Band Show: The CCPS Band Show has been moved to 9:00am on Saturday, October 21st. The band will perform at Golden Gate High School along with the other six CCPS high school marching bands. There is an admission charge of $7.00 at the gate for all who are interested in attending. (There will be no pre-sale on tickets this year.) Please come out and support the CCPS high school bands at this community event. There will be a separate email with more information.  
 
 
Mariner Marching Band Competition: Following the Band Show performance, the band will travel the Mariner High School to compete in a marching band competition. All Marching Pride students will receive a healthy snack meal, complimentary of our PRHS Band Boosters. Students will eat these meals on the bus when we leave Golden Gate HS. The band’s first performance will be at 3:00pm. The second performance of the evening will depend on their score and placement at prelims. There is an admission charge at the gate for those of you who are interested in attending. Mariner has not given me the cost of admission, but it’s typically $10.00 for marching band competitions. The approximate return time to PRHS is 10:30pm. There will be a separate email with more information.
 
 
MBI Ads: The Band Boosters are selling MBI ads for our Marching Band Invitational on November 4th. This is an opportunity for local businesses to have their advertisement on display at our event. Ads are $30. All families are asked to participate. It would be very beneficial for the band if every family sold at least one ad.
 
 
Universal Studios Orlando Band Trip: All students who are interested in attending the trip must be paid in full by Monday, October 23rd. The Cheesecake Fundraiser will start on Wednesday, October 4th.
