PARENTS WHO MISSED THE LYNCHBURG PARENT MEETING LAST THURSDAY
Parents who were unable to attend the Parent Meeting for the trip to Lynchburg, VA, please see attached the information, itinerary, packing list, and required forms. You MUST complete the attached waiver IN THE NEWSLETTER for your student to participate in Sunday's SnowFlex activities. Student pre-order meals are $65, check payable to SHSBB. These may be put in the blue box.
Items we are still collecting:
Money for meals and entertainment – payment for $65 for pre-paid meals/activities/ drinks & snacks.
Permission slip – attached to this email if you have not already turned in.
Over the counter medication permission form – attached to this email if you have not already turned in. We cannot give your student Advil, Tylenol, Benadryl, etc. if we do not have this signed form.
Snack and water donations – we will have snack bins and water on hand for all students during bus rides and in hotel rooms. We cover some of these with student pre-paid money, but we also need parents to donate individually wrapped snacks and cases of water. It takes a lot to make sure we are covered for a 4-day trip!
Extra-large plastic bins to hold snacks and water – we will return these after trip! Please mark with your name so we may know who to return to.
Students will need to purchase 2 new pairs of gloves on Tuesday, October 22, after practice. ($14) The gloves will be placed in their shakos that evening for safe travel to VA, and not brought home with them.
Delivery of Cheesecake is scheduled for October 29th at 1:00 pm. We will need help sorting orders at 1:00 pm. Parents can pick up their orders after 2:00 pm through 8:45 pm. Please note 8:45 pm is a hard cut off. All cheesecake must be picked up between 2:00 pm – 8:45 pm on Oct 29th. Please make yourself available to pick up that evening because we have no cold storage.
I know we are busy with BOA Virginia preparation, but we still have a Varsity game on 10/25/19 (while the band is in Virginia). We need all the band parents not going to Virginia to come together and hold down the fort. Please we need help with concessions this night and Senior Night.

Senior Night - It's already time to honor our Senior families for their four years of dedication and loyalty to our great band program. There is an on-field ceremony, small tokens of our appreciation, and a reception immediately following the game on Friday, November 1st. We are asking that all Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior families volunteer to help with the celebration. After all, sooner or later, we will ALL be senior families - and won't it be nice to feel treasured? Let's make this night last in the memories of our senior families - they certainly deserve it! We especially need food.
Please sign up to help with one of the areas in the sign-up genius. If you have any questions, please contact Marie Hill, hillm@pcsb.org. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Your senior was given a bio to complete and they are due back to Chloe 10/22, next Tuesday.
We need help for water duty!! The kids are still practicing during the week and will continue to do so throughout the marching season. We need more parent volunteers to help with this. We are seeing many shifts with no one signed up at all. Please look at the sign-up genius and let us know where you can help!

October Fair Share is now past-due along with other months Fair Share. We are in the middle of travel and competitions and it is imperative that we keep Fair Share contributions coming in. If you need to make other arrangements, please contact any Executive Board Member or Mr. Madrinan.
Students who participate in Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Studies, and the Percussion Ensemble have a “concert black” dress requirement. Male students wear tuxedos and female students wear long black dresses. Payment should be dropped in the blue box or arranged with Beckie Biglin.
Returning students can wear their attire from last year, if it still fits well, since no changes have been made to the formal wear requirements. New students will need to purchase their concert blacks. Arrangements have been made to order as a group to minimize price and shipping costs.
Specific ordering information, including exact prices, are included on the following pages.
Female Students: An order form, including a photo of the dress and a sizing chart, are provided on the attachment. The dresses should arrive & be distributed to the students by the end of November. The length will require alteration as they are all shipped with extra length to accommodate all girls’ heights. Alterations must be done in a timely manner since the Winter Concert is on December 12th. Girls are required to provide black dress shoes of their own choosing.
Male Students: Tuxedos should arrive & be distributed to students by the end of November. Please have students try on the tuxedos right away in case further alterations are needed. Boys will also be required to provide black dress shoes of their own choosing.
For those that cannot afford to purchase their own concert attire, there are limited tuxes and dresses available that have been donated from band alumni students. Please note that not all sizes are available. If you need to borrow concert attire, please let us know so we can arrange a time to try on items available to borrow. You will need to have the items cleaned by a dry cleaner and returned at the end of the season. Shoes are not available for borrowing. You will have to provide your own.
New band parents, want to help and don’t know where to start? Try out working concessions for a game! It is always wonderful that people return to help, but we do want to see NEW faces too!
The Boosters run both the home and visitors' side concession stands for Junior Varsity and Varsity football home games at SHS. This is a very important fundraiser so please come to support the program. If you can't show up at the designated time you can still volunteer!
This is a great opportunity to meet fellow parents and support the program. If you know someone who would like to volunteer, you can sign them up or forward them this signup site. Everyone is welcome to join us!
