Belton MS Band - Week of August 15
2022-2023 School Year
Welcome!
General information that applies to all students and parents can be found towards the top of every newsletter, while information specific to your child's ensemble can be found in that particular section by scrolling towards the bottom.
After you've read through everything, feel free to contact a director if you have any questions.
September 15 Deadline
This date is the deadline for many things that are due, which includes the following:
- Uniform Shirt Order - Click on the link to order a shirt for your student (if you haven't already), and one for you as well! We encourage all our parent chaperones to wear these when they are helping at our events. Put the word "Parent" next to the name so we know it's not for the student.
- Parent Chaperone Sign-Up - Make sure to sign up to become a chaperone at BOTH the link and the district volunteer background check. Instructions for this process can be found here.
- Payments for shirts, auto decals, and instrument usage fees are also due by September 15, either by cash or check made out to BMS with a valid phone number. You can also pay for them online, at this link: tinyurl.com/beltonmsbandstore
Supplies & Materials - due this Thursday! 😳
Attention Parents of Percussionists: We understand many items are on backorder and it's been frustrating! Rest assured this will not affect your student's grade since this was out of your control. Alternatively, you may try the Steve Weiss website to order items if the other places have not been successful.
If you need more information, be sure to check out the Supplies & Materials page of our website. Below are the 3 local music stores that have the supplies you need for Band at BMS. Just click on the picture that takes you to their rental website:
