Winter Park Band Notes
August 27, 2017
Pep Band / Full Band Change
Please note that the away football games on Friday, September 15 (hosted at Colonial HS) and Friday, September 29 (hosted at Timber Creek HS) are no longer Pep Band performances. The full Marching Band will perform at both of these away football games. Please make note of the change in your family's calendar.
With this change, we are now in need of additional chaperones for those two away games. Please consider signing-up to chaperone for either September 15 or September 29 through the Band Calendar.
Marching Band Uniform Accessories Are In
For band families who ordered marching band uniform shoes, socks, and gloves, everything is in and will be distributed at the end of marching band rehearsal on Monday. The online store for concert accessories will be opening soon!
Band Fees Over Due
Those students/parents with overdue Band fees should have received an e-mail from Mr. Blackmer this past Friday evening detailing what is due. Please review your Band account through CharmsOffice.com and make appropriate payment through SchoolPay.com. If you have questions about Band fees, please direct them to Mr. Blackmer.
Program Ads & Sponsors Deadline Approaching!
The deadline to submit business ads, student dedication ads and sponsorships for the Band Program is this coming Friday, September 1. 50 - 60% of the dollars earned from your ads submitted will be credited to your student’s Band account. This fundraiser is the best way to significantly reduce your Band fees! We have students who pay for their entire four years by selling ads.
Instructions can be found on our website at http://www.winterparkhsband.com/program-adssponsors.html. Contact Jay McPherson at wpbandprogram@gmail.com if you have questions.
Chaperones and Volunteers
All parents who wish to chaperone or volunteer with the Band Program, or any WPHS activities this year, must update their existing ADDitions account (or create one) now. We cannot choose you to chaperone for any Band event unless this has been done. Please take a few minutes to log in and complete this now. You may use the following link to do so https://ocps.samaritan.com/custom/503/index.php.
The Band's first chaperone opportunity is less than 2 weeks away, and we need you! More information is coming at Thursday's parent meeting on how to sign up for specific Band opportunities.
