CBA 2013 commemorative patches must act soon!

Dear Band Parents:

As some of you may know, the CBA ran out of commemorative 2013 patches at Quarterfinals in Ft Collins.  They are taking a group order from us, but the deadline is VERY SOON.

If you would like a patch (cost is $6 each), please email Sara Johnson at  johnson.sara@comcast.net NO LATER THAN SUNDAY, NOV 3^RD.  She will need your name and phone number, your student’s name, and the number of patches you want.  You can pay Sara at the Band Banquet on Nov 15 (start time TBA) or put your payment in the Encore! mailbox in the school office (be sure to label your envelope “BAND PATCH MONEY FOR S. JOHNSON”).

Thanks and GO LIONS!

Message from Karla Elliott Brainstorm Meeting

Hello Band Parents,

Jim and I would like to invite you to our house on Friday, November 8 at 7:00 pm to have a “Meeting of the Minds”.  This is a brainstorming session looking ahead to next marching band season.  Bring your ideas and experience! Those of you with seniors will have valuable opinions and advice to pass along to the newer members.

Please RSVP to me directly: karlaelliott@comcast.net and I’ll provide you with more detailed info.  If you aren’t able to attend email me with any information you’d like to share.  Thanks.

Reminder on Marching band/Colorguard fees!

As the marching band program is very expensive, it relies on student fees to pay for expenses such as transportation and meals.  Please check your student's balance on the band website using their online code:

http://www.lionpridemarchingband.org/student-band-colorguard-fees-owed

If you don't know your student's online code (it will be the same as their code for their Encore account), please contact the Encore treasurer at lhsencoretreasurer@gmail.com

A breakdown of fees, per student:

Meals and transportation: $190
Uniform maintenance: $50
Drill master official marching shoes: $30
Extra fees for Percussion students: $60
Extras fees for Colorguard: $40

Total for marching band students: $240 without shoes; $270 with shoes
For Percussion: $300 wo shoes; $330 with shoes
For Colorguard: $280

The balance of fees was due the week of September 3rd.  Many students have not paid fees, and that has put the marching band expense account in the red.  We still have many expenses to pay for the CBA Quarter finals; not including Semi and Finals, should the band compete in those.  Shortly, individual emails will go out to those who have not finished paying fees. Please help us by getting those fees in ASAP.

Thanks!
LHS Marching Band treasurer
