First Home Football Game
ACA vs. Escambia County
Friday, August 31st
game time 7:00 p.m.
(Mr. Stough will let the students know what time to report to the band room.)
We are all very excited about the first performance. The kids have been working hard and we look forward to a fantastic show! Come out and show your support for the band!
Concessions Stand Open for Business this Friday Night!
We are so thankful to be able to operate the Visitor's side concessions stand. The Athletic Boosters are in the process of moving their items over to the new "home" side and we're going to give the old one a good cleaning and be ready for business on Friday.
We are asking parents of 6th & 7th grade band members to work the concessions stand from 6:00 p.m. (or as soon as you can get there) thru half-time and marching band parents to work 3rd Quarter thru clean-up. This will enable parents of marching band members to see their child perform. (You parents of younger band members will appreciate this when your child is marching in a year or two!)
If you have NOT volunteered to work the concessions stand, please email me at traceykirksey@knology.net to sign up for a game. We need 10 workers for each half!
3rd Quarter Snacks
Elizabeth Staten is in charge of lining up volunteers to provide snacks for the band during the 3rd Quarter of the game. If you have not signed up for a game, please email Elizabeth at epoohstaten@aol.com. Band Boosters provide iced down bottled water for the marching band students throughout the game.
Band Gloves
Cost: $5
Band gloves will be distributed Friday, August 31st. Please make sure your child brings $5 or a check for $5 for their band gloves.
Band T-Shirts
Cost: $12
Due: this Friday, August 31st
Due to the detail and color of the artwork, the t-shirts are $12 this year. The "proof" looks great and we know the kids are going to love them! T-shirts will be given out on Friday at the beginning of 7th period. Please make sure to send a check for $12 for your child's t-shirt.
Parent Band T-Shirts
If any parents are interested in getting a band "parent" t-shirt, please email me your name and size. The deadline to place your order will be Tuesday, September 4th. Sizes are "adult" sizes and the cost is $12. Email your request to traceykirksey@knology.net.
Coffee Shop Update
Band Boosters are so excited about operating the new coffee shop in the High School Commons Area. It is looking great and should be completed and open for business soon! More details will be posted when received!
Spring Trip Permission Slips
Just a reminder that permission slips are due by Friday, September 14th. This will allow us to have a preliminary count of the students attending the trip and also to coordinate chaperones.
