A few important dates coming up:
APRIL 12, 6-8 p.m.: Marching Band Open House/Orientation for the 2011-2012 Marchin' Trojan Band. This is for parents and students. It is a "drop-in" event; you do not have to stay the whole 2 hours. Marching Band fees are going up, BUT YOU CAN LOCK IN LAST YEAR'S RATE BY COMING TO THIS EVENT! $200 if you pay your $50 marching band fee deposit at the Open House; $225 if you pay after April 12. There are still discounted rates for the second child. Also at this event:
* The theme for the 2011 marching show will be announced.
* Order marching band shoes for next year
* Buy a flip-folio. The band will no longer provide flip folios.
* Portman's Music and Art's Music Shop will be here. Still have that plastic clarinet from middle school? Still have your beginner trumpet? Need a mute, or some reeds? They'll be here to help you out.
* Check out our new CHARMS online management system, where you'll be able to log in and see how much is in your child's IBA, plus much much more.
* Learn how to subscribe to the online band calendar via Google calendars.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS EVENT!!!!
