Good morning,
The students did such an excellent job Friday night! All their hard work is definitely paying off. This week we have a few things to touch on:
Game VS Wadley
This is our first away game to Wadley High School. Couple of "firsts" for this one.
Itinerary:
Call Time - 4:15PM (Load Trailer, Get Dressed)
Depart to WHS - 5:00PM
Arrive @ WHS - 6:00PM (Restroom, Unload, Dress Up)
Kick-off - 7:00PM
Game Ends - 9:30PM
Depart WHS - 10:00PM
Arrive @ RHS - 11:00PM (ALL students help unload and clean the band room)
Dismissal - 11:30PM
TICKETS FOR THE GAME (READ! READ! READ!):
I've been told that they are only selling tickets online on The GoFan App. they are $7 with a $1 fee.
Concessions
Please make sure, if you haven't, to sign up to work concessions for one game. Please understand that the concession stand is what helps the entire band financially due to us not receiving funding from the state. It costs a great deal of money to travel to games, clean uniforms, pay staff, and to go to competitions. If we lose concessions due to no one working them, fees will increase and the likelihood of us getting it back will be slim to none. Parents who have worked concessions have always had a good time and everyone is treated well. Failure to work a game will result in $150 being added to your student's fees. To sign up, there will be a sign up sheet in the band room. After a parent works their first game, they receive a $25 credit for every game they work afterwards.
Absences
If your student is sick and will not be at practice for a period of time, please make sure to send me a quick email letting me know. I understand that we are in the midst of cases increasing and it is important for me to know who will be at practice and who won't so I can plan accordingly.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
