Concert Band Auditions
Concert band auditions will be due on November 8th. Students have been informed both in person and through Google Classroom. Audition material will be "Etude 2" and can be found in Google Classroom. All students should have a concert instrument and a copy of the music at this point. If a student needs a device to record on, they should see any director.
Indoor Percussion Auditions
If you are interested in participating in Indoor Percussion, please see Mr. Jones. You'll need to join the Google Classroom (bjtxv7z) where you can find audition music. Auditions will take place November 15th before and after school.
Payment Plans
Accounts were due on October 20th. If you need to set up a payment plan, please email nbaxter@lcisd.net and let me know how much you can pay and how often. If you are still waiting on band booster points to be applied, that will happen at the end of marching season and you may wait until then to see your final balance.
Student Accounts
We now have the ability for you to check your child's account online. Please follow the instructions below. Student Codes will be provided on the paper statements that will be sent home this week.
- Log on to www.charmsoffice.com, and click “ENTER / LOG IN” in the upper right corner.
- Locate the “PARENT/STUDENT/MEMBERS LOGIN” section of the web page.
- Login to your student’s program account using the following School Code: LCPBand
- This will bring up the main “Public” page. This will allow you to look at the “public” calendar for your organization, event list, and handouts and other “publicly shared” files, as well as a few other options.
- The first time you go here, enter your child’s ID NUMBER (provided by your Director) into the Student Area Password field. You will be directed to the Change Password screen, to set a personal password different from the ID, for future use. You may also be directed to create both a unique Username and Password for the student. There are also mechanisms to recover/reset a lost Username/Password – when you create your new password, create a “hint” as well.
- Whenever you enter using this Username/password, another more detailed screen appears, with various button options for you to access areas in the Charms account. What appears here is partially up to the Account Administrator or Head Director.
- You can also download the Charms App to your smartphone – search your App Store for “Charms Parent/Student Portal” (or “Charms Blue”). It’s the way to stay in touch on the go!
Attendance
Being late and missing morning/afternoon rehearsals will affect grades and marching spots. These rehearsals are all required as part of the class curriculum.
