Hope everyone had a good weekend. Hopefully the heat will finally pack it up and go soon!
Practices This Week:
We are practicing Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Please make sure your student is dressed appropriately. Many students are coming to practice in hoodies and long pants and it is hot! We give them water breaks almost once every 30 minutes, but we want them to dress appropriately so they do not get heat exhaustion.
Picture Day:
Wednesday, August 21st is band picture day. The quicker we go outside and take all the pictures needed, the sooner we can get out of the uniforms and heat! Students will do directly to the band room after 7th period and get dressed in full uniform. Envelopes were given out Friday for purchasing pictures. Please have envelopes brought to picture day to pay. If you did not get an envelope, please see me after practice today.
JSU Band Day
On September 14th, JSU is hosting their annual JSU Band Day. We are asking all students who are participating to pay $10 and return the bottom of their letter before or on August 30th. This way we can have a head count. It is a great experience for any student marching this year. For more information, feel free to email me.
Jackets & Gloves
For Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) we are taking orders for pink gloves ($3). Deadline for these are August 30th.
We are also taking orders for Jackets. They are $35 and include your name and RHS Marching Band.
Band Fees
Lastly, please make sure your fees are paid and current! This is very important as the band uses these to function. If you need to talk to someone about your fees, please contact Ms. Kimatha.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
