Band Day is tomorrow. All band, percussion and colorguard members are expected to participate unless other arrangements have already been discussed with Dr. Greenwood. Please be a t Sprague at 8am to get into uniform. Those students participating who do not have uniforms will be issued a Sprague Band shirt to wear for the day. There will be a meeting at 8:30 and we will be on the road at 9:00. We will return to Sprague for lunch at noon and then head back out. We anticipate being done about 4pm and the kids will change out of uniform and be released to go home.

Please be sure to bring a reusable water bottle and we will have water available during lunch. We will also try to make sure that each vehicle has some water and snacks to help get through the day. Drivers are all adults and will be required to submit proof of insurance before they are allowed to leave. They have also all completed their background checks with the Salem/Keizer School District. Every effort will be made to ensure the safety of your student. No student will be allowed to alone during the time we are out collecting donations. All students will be in a groups of two or three (minimum) at all times.

The weather looks to be amazing for the day with temperatures expected in the low 70s and no rain in the forecast.

Thank you in advance for participating in this event.

Kory

All Band Parents

Attached is a flyer for a Parent Night we have planned for this year. Each year we hear from parents who are confused, concerned or otherwise in the dark. We are going to try out best this year to handle all these issues early in the season. Come join us for our Parent Night and meet your Band Boosters Board, sign up for volunteer opportunities (PCI, food crew, chaperoning, equipment crew, etc), and ask questions about what the season looks like. We will be there to help and clear up any confusion.

We look forward to seeing you.

Hey Band Parents

Attached is an updated schedule for Marching Band. There is one change and it is for Saturday August 26. The rehearsal has been changed to 9am to 1pm due to a conflict for the field. I apologize for the change but in order to practice on the field it is necessary.

Also, first year marchers should have all received a phone call today regarding the rehearsals next week. Those are also listed on the attached schedule. If you have not already notified us of which days your student will be attending please do so by replying to this email. Each new marcher should plan on attending two of the three sessions but are welcome to attend all three if they choose. Again, I apologize for the short notice but we discovered a couple people were missed during the initial notification.

We appreciate your flexibility on this and we hope to minimize the changes to the schedule in the future.
