School begins this week! It feels like forever since we had it last. The students did such an excellent job last week. Thank you to our band boosters for giving them pizza and drinks Friday. Thank you to Mr. Patel for the pizzas! A couple of things this week:
BAND PICTURES (READ PLEASE)
TWO THINGS! Everyone needs to wear their band shirt and shorts to practice Monday, August 17th. We need to take a picture for the football program.
Also! Band pictures are Sunday, August 23rd, 5PM AL Time. I have picture order forms for your student to pick up if you want them. Do not turn these into me please. Keep them and give them to the photographer.
When do practices start?
There is NO practice this week due to us starting school back. The students are usually pretty beat the first day, so I am starting practices next week. Please note I am making them Monday, Tuesday and Thursday until 4:30PM. You can view this schedule on the calendar. You can view this calendar with the tab above or by clicking this link: RHS Band Calendar
Please understand practices are mandatory. Once we get the show under our belt, we can begin practicing once or twice a week.
When is the next payment due?
The next payment of $50 is due by next Friday, August 21st. I have some parents asking how to pay and you have a few options. You can bring it by at practice or have your student bring it to school. We have a deposit box for this purpose outside my office. Just have your student put their full name, what the money is for and the amount enclosed on the envelope.
What do I need to do as a student (this is for you marching band members!)
Practice your music! Begin memorizing your show music and keep perfecting what you need to. We will have weekly playing test on memorization and sections of the music this year, so be ready!
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
