FUNDRAISE GENIUS CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY
https://www.fundraisegenius.com/pn2038
Our Fundraise Genius campaign is now underway!! Please share this link with any potential donors and feel free to add a post to your personal social media accounts: https://www.fundraisegenius.com/pn2038
Thank you to everyone who has participated and donated to date! The campaign will close on September 30th. We are off to a good start but we are less than half way to our goal of $30,000.
ILMEA AUDITIONS
ILMEA auditions are due soon. Please see Mr. LaVallee for more information if you are planning to turn in an audition tape.
BAND PHOTOS
Photos from our band picture day may be ordered by going to https://shop.hrimaging.com/. You will need to create an account and then add your student to preview and order the individual and group photo taken on August 29th. A portion of the proceeds will help support the band.
For any students who were unable to attend on the 29th, make-up band photos will be taken at the next school picture day on October 7th. On that day, students should see Mr. Hatcher so they can get their uniform for their photo.
FLORIDA TRIP – SPRING BREAK 2023
Payment #2 for the Florida trip WAS DUE on September 16th through Bob Rogers Travel ($450)
Trip Information is here: http://www.pnhsbands.com/florida-2023/

WINTERGUARD AND FLORIDA TRIP: For those wishing to do Winterguard and go on the Florida trip, you will be responsible for transportation to Florida after Midwest Championships. Students are welcome to ride the bus back to Illinois. With the elimination of the Universal day and a couple nights of hotel accommodations, there will be a reduced cost of $315 off of the package, reflected in the final payment.
