Middle School Band Newsletter October 15, 2014
-----------------------------------BAND POLO SHIRTS-----------------------------------
The students were given their Band Polo shirts today in
class. Please have them try on the shirt when they get home tonight. If it is
too small, have them bring it back tomorrow. Because these are personalized, we
cannot return the shirts, but we can swap within the band.
The youth sizes are a different shade than the adult sizes
because they are a different brand. I was aware of that when ordering. We are
already mismatched because several students will be wearing last year’s design.
Hopefully within the next few years, we will all be matching.
Some of you have not yet been billed for the shirt, so you
may notice a charge on your child’s account by the end of this week. Everyone
that has not yet paid, please give payment to Mrs. Armstrong before our Fall
Concert. We have to pay the company for the shirts, and that bill is over
$1,000.

ALL DAY, Thursday, October 23. Boys must tuck in their shirt for the
performance. They should wear a black or brown belt.
Other:
Parents, please attend the concert. Invite your
family and friends to attend the concert. It is more fun to play for an
audience, and your children have been working very diligently on the music.
·
If your child usually goes to ELS, they will need
to go there after the concert.
·
Band students that have cookie dough orders (school
fundraiser) will be able to pick them up from 5:00-6:00pm after the concert.
