The Registration Day Email 7/24/22

Band Registration day is taking place on Saturday, August 6th. For the uninitiated, this event is important for many reasons:

• turn in important forms such as medical authorizations, media releases, handbook acknowledgement, etc.
• meet the various booster board members in charge of our band logistics and sign up for their crews
• purchase spirit wear
• pay band fees for the school year

Attached to this email is the packet for you to go through prior to August 6th.  Some key details that are new or may need reminders:

• Both parents and students should attend this event. Students will be sized and assigned a uniform, and it helps speed up your checkout process when we go through unneeded items.
• Payments – our boosters get charged credit card fees and ask for a “convenience fee” of the following
  • Under $50 – $2.50
  • $50-$100 – $5.00
  • Over $100 – $10

In the coming weeks, I will be sending out personal links that will direct you to your financial statements. This link will work all year long and is custom made just for you. For sophomore, junior, and senior students – if you have items from last year that are still in decent shape, bring them to registration day so we can make sure they will make it through the season (shoes, flipbook, lyre, etc…).  If the directors consider the item is in good condition, we will waive that item for this year.  Wind players – remember that you get new gloves every year.

Now, the most important detail to take away from this email:

We recognize that this is a lot of money up front. If you will not want to pay all the band fees today, that is okay – the handbook outlines payment dates and are also listed below. We will send out statement reminders monthly as a reminder of what is left to pay.  We ask that everyone makes and effort to pay their fees on time so our students can have the best experience possible.
