FAIR SHARE FEES
This is a friendly reminder, the student fair share fees one-time payment of $400 per student is due by September 29th.
If you are making multiple payments of $110, the payment schedule is as follows:
- 1st payment due September 1
- 2nd payment due October 1
- 3rd payment due November 1
- 4th payment due December 1
This is a very busy time when the band has many of its expenses for the year, and it's essential to stay on schedule with fair share payments!

Black Water Jugs
Remember the jugs are not dishwasher safe.
If your student has lost their jug, they can bring something close and have it approved by Mr. Frock.
Q & A with Richard Patenaude
How many instruments do you play? Which is your favorite?
We had to learn how to play all the band instruments and piano, but I rarely get to play other instruments any more besides trumpet. I’ll occasionally take out my flute.
Performing with the University of Texas Wind Ensemble and the UT Symphony Orchestra at the Long Center for the Menuhin International Violin Competition.
Making Sweepstakes with Wind Ensemble last spring. The most challenging program we’ve ever attempted.
What is your signature dish (meal that you’re famous for making)?
I’m sort of a utilitarian cook. I like when other people cook for me.
When I was younger I always wanted to be cast as an extra in one of the newer Star Wars movies.
