FUNDRAISE GENIUS
Great job!! We have raised over $15,000 for our band program. We have 5 days left for the fundraising drive. Can we make it to $20,000?? Pass on the information! https://www.fundraisegenius.com/pnhs
MARCHING BAND UNIFORMS
Also located in Student Resources is the marching band uniform code. We’ll go over this in class so we know what is expected of us in wearing our uniforms. General notes to think about: students will be expected to show up for performances with their member shirt, non-baggy gym shorts, calf high ALL BLACK socks, hair is up, no make-up is worn (except guard), and head piercings are covered up or removed. http://www.pnhsbands.com/student-resources/
SMARTMUSIC
Smartmusic assignments are posted at www.smartmusic.com with the show music. Weekly assignments are posted along with practice tracks. Scene 1 is due by THURSDAY. Submit it at home with an iPad or Computer with a microphone.
ULTIMATE DOT BOOK
Marching Band students have received their Ultimate Dot Books. Students are to enter in their sets, coordinates, counts, pictures, and music, into the dot books. These Dot Books will be checked regularly for a grade. Login to Student Resources to access drill, coordinates, and videos: http://www.pnhsbands.com/student-resources/ (password protected – presented to students in class and through text)
Scenes 1-3 should be completed. Scene 4 will be due next week after we receive it from our drill writer.

QUINLAN AND FABISH (INSTRUMENT EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES)
We have a district preferred retailer, Quinlan and Fabish, to help the needs of our students with their instruments and accessories. You may order through them and they will hand deliver items to us at our school. Also, instrument repair is highly suggested to go through Q&F. You may visit one of their locations (closest is on Rt. 30 in Montgomery), visit their website (www.qandf.com), or pick up a flyer in the band room.
