Hello PRIDE!
 
WOW!  This has been a truly fantastic week of band camp.  Our students have worked incredibly hard and have accomplished so much in a short amount of time.  We are so impressed with their work ethic and their attitudes.  This is going to be a great year!   
 
Below are a few things that you need to know before the beginning of school.  Please contact the band office if you have any questions. 
 
Go PRIDE GO!
-Mr. Weaver & Mrs. Hammock

1. CALENDAR: Our August calendar has been published online. Please take a look at our rehearsal and performance schedule online at http://www.shs-band.com/calendar.html 
2. WATER DONATIONS:  If you have not already done so, please bring in two cases of water before our first game.  Remember, this water is how we keep the students hydrated during the football games.      ​
   
3. RESALE / FEE REMINDER: Although band fees are due during the fall, we ask that families take care of any resale items (items purchased from the band that students keep) first.  The band will host four fundraisers throughout the school year to allow students an opportunity to pay off membership fees.  The first is our annual Coke Sale, which begins August 13th.   
4. Coca-Cola Sale:The PRIDE (RMS & SHS Bands) will hold their annual Coke Sale August 13th– 27th. Profits earned will go towards helping students pay for their band fees.  Prices and more info to come soon!  ​
   
5. REGULAR REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:A reminder that we will begin our normal afterschool rehearsal schedule of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday from 3:15 to 5:30 pm on the first full week of school.  Students will need to bring their water jugs (already filled) to school in the mornings on those days and take them home each evening. Water jugs or dirty clothes should not be left out in the band room overnight.   
6. WEEKLY SCHEDULE EMAILS:In addition to our calendar updates and other news updates, the band offices posts a weekly schedule for the upcoming week with a list of important information and reminders. This schedule is VERY important, and all students & parents should read it thoroughly.​
   
7. NEXT MARCHING BAND REHEARSAL:Our next full marching band rehearsal will be Thursday, August 9thfrom 3:15 to 5:30 pm.
