Friday Night Update:
The band will be playing in the stands at the game this Friday, August 25th. The kids are to be there 1 1/2 hours before game time (I think it starts at 7:00 p.m., but will confirm with the school office tomorrow). They will not be marching the half-time show, but will be playing in the stands. New info. on attire...They are to wear a maroon school polo (if the band shirts are not in) and khaki shorts or pants.
Transportation Fee Approved:
We received word from Mr. Sewell that the Board approved the Transportation Fee proposal that the Band Boosters presented. The new fee will be $10 per student, per "away" game or competition. This fee will only help alleviate some of the costs of the chartered buses. You can either pay the fee ahead of time in one lump sum (5 trips) or each student can turn in their $10 before boarding the bus to either Tracey Kirksey or Elizabeth Staten. If this fee will create a hardship on anyone, please see Gary or Tracey Kirksey and it will be handled with the utmost privacy. Scholarships are available as needed.
More information will be coming in the next few days regarding our first away game on Friday, September 1st to Escambia County High School in Atmore, Alabama. If you have any questions, problems, concerns or suggestions, please don't hesitate to email Gary or Tracey Kirksey at acabands@yahoo.com or traceykirksey@knology.net.
