SPIRIT WEAR STORE
Spirit Wear store is active with some new gear and SHOW GEAR. Ordering closes on Wednesday. https://stores.jemhedz.com/PNBAND
Every band member will receive a SHOW T-SHIRT. If you would like a sweatshirt, it needs to be ordered separately.
Show Shirts for family and friends are only available through the online store.
AGAIN, STORE CLOSES ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21st!
SECTIONALS
Sectionals have been happening for Percussion and Guard, Winds will start up this week. Sectional group practices are a way for band members to focus on certain skills throughout the season. Since moving to the model of sectionals over the past several years, band members have proven to progress more in comparison to performing on assessments/playing tests.
Sectionals are required and students receive a grade for attending. Winds will be every Wednesday. Guard and Percussion are typically before Tuesday/Thursday rehearsals, and your instructors will give you specific details on when to attend.
ABSENCES
With school now in session, attendance is part of every band member’s grade. The absence form should be completed for planned absences, please don’t email. It’s expected that parent/guardian complete the form. Notify Mr. La Vallee (jlavalle@psd202.org) with any attendance questions.
YOGURT BEACH FUNDRAISER
Students/Family/Friends/Community Members can visit Yogurt Beach on Monday, August 26th. With each order, the band will receive 30% of what is spent. PASS IT ON!
