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.
