External Microphone For any Wind Symphony students who are very invested in the All-Region audition process - if this external microphone is in your price range/budget, it would be a great purchase before submitting your audition recording at the end of the month (and other band recordings this year). It will record with much better sound quality than built-in Chromebook microphones or cell phones. | Seating Chart/Lockers For all F2F students, please check THIS LINK for new seating charts (tabs at the bottom for each class period). LOCKER INFORMATION can be found here. If your student plays a school-owned instrument, they will receive a second instrument to keep at school and will only need to bring their mouthpiece, reeds, band binder, swab/valve oil each day. 7/8 grade percussionists need their stick bag and band binder. | Band COVID-19 Policies/Reminders Band students will be able to put their instruments in their band locker before first period, but will take their instrument with them to their remaining classes after band. They will not be allowed back in the band hall after school to pick up instruments. Band students will be given a special band mask to wear while playing their instrument as well as a bell cover to be placed on their instrument when playing. Once received, they are the student's property/responsibility and need to be cleaned weekly. |

Charms Resolution
Log in to Charms using the school code hudsonsoundmachine and your student's password. Passwords for brand new students should be the student ID with 6 digits only. If you cannot get logged on, please contact Mrs. Becker. She has discovered a new way to reset passwords!
You can click the "finances" button and pay fall band fees using Paypal. If you have logged in and are paying band fees, but your student has a credit on their account, the easiest thing to do is to make a miscellaneous payment. You can specify what the payment is for since it will be for the remaining balance and not the entire Fall fee. Then you can "request a transfer" of that payment to go to the fall fees.
School-owned instrument fees will still be paid in Skyward this year. We are having a little trouble getting that set up correctly since this is a change from previous years. We made some headway last week and hope to be completely set up by the end of this week. Stay tuned for more info!
