UPCOMING EVENTS FOR SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER 2012

Dear Parents of Band members,
As you know the new year has kicked off and we are going to hit the ground running.  Our first parade of the year is usually at the end of September however, they changed the date on us again.  Sorry for the short notice but we really need to move quickly to be ready on time.  Updated versions the band calendar are sent out monthly throughout the year.   Below are a few upcoming events.
 
1. VERY IMPORTANT - Mandatory meeting for band parents and students. This is our only scheduled uniform fitting for the year.
     Where: Band Room
     When: Thursday, September 6, 2012. Those involved in the sports activity that day are requested to skip any after-game activities and head straight to Merced at the earliest possiblity (it's about a 30 minute drive from Livingston).
     Time: 6:30 PM
    Who: All marching band member(s) and at least one parent, guardian or adult representative must attend.
   Why: This meeting will cover information regarding parent responsibilities for competitions / performances, financial requirements and this is when and where your child will get fitted for their band uniform. All students need to be fitted in order to find out if we need to order more.
