Dear Parents and Students,
Every week, I will send out some notes and the activities that your students have for this upcoming week. Communication is the key to success so I want to be able to communicate with you all what is happening in our program. Please use the charms calendar so review the band schedule (www.charmsoffice.com password Yellowjacketband) so you can be aware of what is coming up for your student. We also have a beautiful website that is full of band information to help you at www.yellowjacketsband.com. I am in the process of adding the dates for the entire year. I will let you know as I add events. Our Band Parent Organization has a tradition of having amazing support from our parents! Come out and be a part of the Pride of Bartow! This Week 8-13-18 We will have practice this Tuesday evening and Thursday is our Band Parent Night (no practice). See below for details. We will have marching band practice for the duration of the season on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays will be in the evening from 5:30-8:30 and Thursdays will be after school from 3:00-5:30. Finally, please do not forget about Pepsi Wars. We need lots of Pepsi coming in this week for our upcoming football games. 8/13-8/19 Monday: Open Tuesday: Marching Band Practice 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Wednesday: Open Thursday: Band Parent Night and BBQ Fundraiser. We will need Parent volunteers to help prep and pass out the orders as early as 2:15. If you cannot be there that early, we will need additional help starting at 4:00 to prepare the dine-in meals. Email me at [email protected] and let me know what time you can be there. Parents, you do not have to purchase a meal to come to Band Parent Night. Students may purchase a meal and can eat after the performance but all meals sales need to be turned in by students no later than WEDNESDAY. At band parent night, we will cover very important band information so we need all of our parents at the event. We will go over volunteer opportunities, fundraisers, band fees, and band activities. Students will wear practice shirts and jeans. If 9th graders do not have the practice shirt, you can wear a shirt with school colors in it (orange and blue). Friday: Open Saturday: Open Sunday: Drum Line is performing at Sam’s Club 10 am to 6:00 pm. Drummers bring comfortable clothing including practice shirts. Also, bring sunscreen. We will set up a cooler with gator aid but feel free to bring your own beverages. I could also use a couple of dancers to spin while the percussion is on breaks. Please remember that our Sprit Uniform fees are due this Wednesday as presented during band camp. We cannot place the orders until we have the money in the Booster Account. Checks can be made out to the Bartow High School Band Boosters.
