​IMPORTANT REMINDERS & INFORMATION

​
Hello PRIDE!
 Please read all of the information below about many upcoming events that involve us all!

Band Fees: This is a friendly reminder that all high school band fees are now due. Please check Charms as soon as possible to see your child’s current balance. Currently, between both the middle school and high school, our program is due approximately $30,000 in unpaid band fees. Please understand that these fees are crucial to our operations throughout the year and ensure that your child receives the highest quality of music education and resources we can offer.

Fundraising Campaign for New Uniforms: As many of you know, we are in the process of fundraising for new uniforms for “The PRIDE”. We have set a high goal and need your help to secure this major purchase for our students. We have several upcoming fundraising events planned for the near future. Please help us spread the word and raise some money!

• Chocolate Sale: Our Chocolate Sale will run from October 18th-Novemeber 3rd. Students will be able to earn money toward their band fees; however, we strongly urge each student to surpass just their band fee balance and raise money for our new uniforms. Our goal is to make $12,000. We can do it!

• Amazon Associates: The PMA is registered as an Amazon Associate. This means that for every order purchased through our link on our website, the PMA will make up to 10% of the total spent. With the holiday season right around the corner, we strongly encourage everyone to share this information with your family and friends. Every little bit will help us reach our goal. The Amazon Associates link may be found at: http://www.shs-band.com

• Road Block: The PMA will be setting up a road block on Highway 77 on October 29th in the morning to get our community more involved with raising money for our new uniforms. If you are able to volunteer on the morning of the 29th, please contact Andrea Brown.

• Local Businesses: For any of our parents who are close to local businesses, we encourage you to reach out and ask for donations for our uniforms. All donations are tax deductible! We will soon be sending letters out across the state with this information, but our success will be higher coming from a more personable source!

PMA Meeting: Our next PRIDE Music Association meeting will be this coming Monday, October 17th at 7 p.m. Please make plans to be there, so you can stay up to date!

Concert Band Rehearsals: Our Fall Concert is on November 1st at 6:30 p.m.! We will be having after school rehearsal for all students in the Symphonic Band on October 17th and October 24th from 3-5 and Wind Ensemble October 19th from 3-4:30 and October 25th from 3-5. Please continue to check our online calendar for all upcoming events and rehearsals. This calendar can be found at: http://www.shs-band.com/calendar.html


Concert Attire: We are currently in the process of ordering concert attire for our students who are new to the high school or may have needed a new set. Fees for this attire are due by November 1st. The concert attire fee for dresses is $60 and for tuxes is $120.
