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. 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)
The entirety of the dot books will be evaluated on Thursday, September 19th.
SCHEDULE CHANGES/REMINDERS
We are moving the October 2nd Rehearsal back to Tuesday, October 1st. This is to allow students to attend Homecoming events. This does conflict with ILMEA Auditions, however, those students will be excused to attend auditions.
Reminder as this approaches: September 26th there is no rehearsal due to a choir concert. The rehearsal is on Friday, September 27th, instead.
ABSENCES FROM EVENTS
If a student needs to be absent from an event(such as rehearsal or performance), you must submit the absence through the form on the website. http://www.pnhsbands.com/absence-request-form/

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.
