Band Trip Meeting

There will be a meeting prior to our regular monthly Band Parent Meeting on January 9th in the Auditorium.

We will give an overview of the trip.

It is important though, if you think you will be attending the trip, to register NOW so we can get an accurate count for Airfare.

Almost 50 people have signed up already!

Band Trip 2020 Payments

Originally I had posted a link to make a deposit for the trip. Super Holiday Tours will start accepting deposits and payments on their portal in January, once we get the airfare locked in. Anyone who has made a deposit payment so far will have that credited to your account, either way.

Merchandise

T-Shirts will ship by 12/12.
Jackets — still TBD. They wouldn’t guarantee us XMAS delivery as we discussed so waiting for an ETA from them.
Online Store should ship by 12/11.

Drum Line: Wednesday December 18 — Indoor Drum Line 5:45–9p in the Band Room
Guard: — please see calendar below. All practices at Eli Whitney. Weeknight report times are 5:45 (we get the gym at 6:15)
