Dear Band Parent,
Welcome to MARCHING Season. The directors and students have been hard at work perfecting their show and you can see the results during half-time at the football games. With the beginning of the school year and marching season we have a lot going on. We continue to meet the first Tuesday of each month and I invite you to attend our next meeting on October 4th at 7pm. All meetings are held at the RCHS band hall.
- We are currently in the process of finalizing the plans for our Spring Band Trip. We will be going to San Antonio this year. The dates are April 12th-15th. I have a full itinerary and signup sheet if your child did not bring one home to you. We need for all students and parents to complete the form and turn in a deposit of $50 per person by September 30, 2011. We will be discussing the trip throughout the year at each meeting so please let me know if there are any questions.
- Once again our cookie dough fundraiser in August was a hit. The cookie dough was delivered to the students today. All profits will go toward the student’s trip.
- If your student needs to make payments of any kind they can either be mailed to our PO Box or we do have a safe deposit box in the band hall office. Please make sure the payment/envelope is clearly marked with the students name and what the payment is for.
- We received our first order of the new booster shirts for parents. You may have seen us wearing them to the game. If you would like to purchase one please contact me. We also have ball caps and visors.
- Sign up day went very well this year. If you have any outstanding balances please make sure they are cleared up by the end of September. I will be placing the order for our concert attire in October and need for all balances to be turned in.
- This year we have a game in Denison which is a pretty long haul for us. Although we will provide sandwiches during 3rd quarter we will also be grilling hamburgers beforehand. We are asking for donations of hamburger buns, hamburger patties, chips (in individual packages), desserts and water. If we cannot receive donations the students will need to pay $4 by October 5th.
- Our first school fundraiser will be held October 3-14. We will be selling Yankee Candles and Pizza Kits. Packets will be handed out during school on September 30th. Profits will go toward the student’s band trip.
- HOMECOMING is October 14th. We just received word that Arboleda’s will be donating taco meat, chips and salsa for the third quarter dinner.
- FunFest is October 15th. We will have a booth set up for the band. It is a Country Store theme booth. We will be selling the toffee coated peanuts that we have been selling at the home games as well as Fredrick’s Farm salsa and dip mix and we will have baskets to raffle off at the end of the day. If you are able to help out please contact me.
- We will be having a band banquet in the spring again this year. We are starting to plan now so watch for more details. If you would like to be part of the planning committee please let me know.
- We have several important dates coming up in October. Please be sure and check the website.
If you have questions about any of this information please contact any of our band booster officers. You can find their contact information on our website at www.roysecityband.org. If you every have any questions or concerns please contact me at anytime.
