MARCHING BAND UNIFORM EQUIPMENT FEES
THESE WILL NOT BE DUE THIS WEEK. Our parent organization is still gathering information so it is accurate for you when we have to order items. Once we have it done, we’ll give you a couple weeks to get it completed.
Payment #1 for the marching season was DUE on Tuesday, May 4th. Please take care of this if you haven’t done so already. You should have received information on how to login to Charms and pay via credit card. You may also bring a check to rehearsal Tuesday made payable to PNHS Band Boosters.

LEGACY BRICKS PROJECT
Current sophomore trumpet player, Travis Zumstein, is working on his Eagle project for Boy Scouts. Current members and alumni know the grassy area between the band doors and the garage door becomes a muddy mess every time it rains. This causes a whole host of issues during practice and when loading and unloading for competitions.
Travis is selling Legacy Bricks to be used to brick this area. The Legacy Bricks are a great way to commemorate your student’s years with the Marching Tigers. You can purchase a brick that will be permanently located at Plainfield North showing their name and years with the band. If you are interested in purchasing a brick, please follow the link below. Once the project is paid for, all remaining money will go to the band program at North.
