Several of you have already received this letter - but for those who have not...Thank you all for volunteering to be chaperones. Sept and October are the ABSOLUTE busiest months for the band - with 1 or more events/week and we need chaperones for these events. First and most important is to get your badge made. ROTC has the list. If you can do it this Saturday between 9 and noon - that's great...otherwise just go before school. Last year's badges are not acceptable. They are a different color too - not ......yellow.

Parents -

Attached are the important forms for YOU to complete for band this year. We need them as soon as possible! These are the forms VITAL for our volunteers! There are versions in both English AND Spanish.

Even if you have already turned in these forms for this year, please resubmit them. In the bustle of the summer, they were misplaced, and we want everyone to be covered!

Mr. Duff is keeping an eye peeled for these - send them in the first day of Band Camp!

Thank you -
Jackie Kernaghan
PHS Band Booster Chaperone Coordinator

Band Parents,

Just so you can be planning on taking care of this over the summer break, this is a reminder that every year, all band members need a physical form completed in order to participate in Band, just like athletes. This is the same form that is used for athletics (so, if your son or daughter has already completed this for athletics, you will also need to give a copy to the Band Directors for their files).

(pdf file attached)

There are a number of places that will conduct this physical for about $15, or you can have a full physical done through your child's M.D.

Just wanted to be sure you had a "heads up" on one thing you need to do as we all start the college application process: Ask your counselor or the registrar in the office for a copy of your student's transcript, and double-check it for errors! There are a number of band students who have had one or more errors on their transcripts (frequently involving their band credits). Check to be sure that:
