Band Packet Dues Error Correction

It has come to our attention that a typographical error was made in the band packet regarding the final payment date for band dues. I sincerely apologize for this error. The information was proofread several times and the error was missed.
 
The final payment date for band dues is July 26th, not August 26th as stated on the payment coupons. Historically, the dues have always been collected by the first day of camp. Those payments are necessary for the payment of staff salaries, equipment repairs and updates, guard uniforms, etc. that are necessary for this year's marching season.
 
Again, my sincere apologies for the error. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
