Spirit Wear Update:
Spirit Wear Orders:
School has begun! Online spirit wear orders will only be filled on Wednesdays. You may log onto your Membership Toolkit account (boydband.membershiptoolkit.com) and order any day of the week on Membership Toolkit. We will gather all of the orders, fill them from our stock and place them in a labeled box in the band hall for your student to pick up. We will send you an email once it is in the box. If we are out of the item you ordered, we will let you know.
Bus Chaperones and Prop Volunteers:
We ask that all parents riding buses to games/competitions and parents who are out on the field helping with props or moving equipment(pit crew volunteers included) to please wear Boyd Band volunteer shirts. You can wear either the "I'm With the Band" or the new "Crew" shirts. Next year we will phase out the "I'm With the Band" shirts. If you need to order a "Crew" shirt, please go to Membership Toolkit and order one today!
