Jordan High Marching Band Reminders and Updates
Tuesday, August 5, 2008



 

Reminders for this week

  • Another hot week is upon us.  Remember to bring sun screen and the water jugs filled with ice water. Students should inform Mr. Weiss immediately if they feel sick or overheated.
  • A potluck will be held on Friday, August 8 after the annual Parent Night Performance/Show & Tell.  Details are on the website. The performance begins at 6:30 p.m., so allow enough time to drop off food items in the school cafeteria and get to the practice field (adjacent to the band room) from the cafeteria. You might want to bring a lawn chair to the performance; seating is not provided.
  • The band will have a basketball tournament at the school after Friday's potluck.  Ask your student for details.

New for this week

  • The Band Boosters Board will meet on Thursday, August 7, 6:00 p.m. at the home of Virginia Taylor.  Email Virginia at rvgtaylor@earthlink.net for directions.
  • Families who want to join the Band Boosters can purchase memberships at the potluck.  Booster memberships are only $10/family. 
  • We encourage you to sign up for one or more volunteer opportunities during the potluck on Friday. You might consider bringing your calendar to verify your availability on date-specific activities.
  • Our first Spirit Clothes order will be placed the week following band camp. If you want Jordan Band spirit clothes before the first football game, please fill out your order form and pay this week.  Extra forms will be available at the potluck.
