Marching band Update 7/8/2021

Good afternoon! I am very excited to see you all soon! Quick reminder that band camp starts on the 19th of July, and that your first band payment is due then as well.

Additionally, I want to remind all students that they must sign up for band twice this year, to ensure that they are in band year-round. If your schedules are finalized, you can talk to our counselors about getting your schedule changed. In addition, if your schedule says "concert band," that does not mean you will not be participating in marching band or vice versa. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Additionally, I want to remind all students and parents that the attendance policy for marching band will be strictly enforced as per the guidelines specified in our handbook.

Lastly, we will be traveling to gulf shores for our 8/27 game. This will require us to use charter buses and will require an extra cost. This game will cost an extra $60 per person. However, this price will vary depending on the number of students who are able to attend the game. Therefore, I encourage ALL students to attend! We will be leaving to and coming back from the game all in the same day. If you have any questions, please ask and I will answer with any information that I have.

Hope you are having a good summer!

Rick Ardovino
