As Mr. Weiss announced
earlier, band students will get dog tags to commemorate the show. They may
order a personalized tag honoring a member of the military. Family members
and friends may also order dog tag sets for $3 each. Mr. Weiss wants to
order these by Aug. 27
so please contact him at
Andrew.weiss@dpsnc.net.
Please provide him with the following information for the tag – your name,
e-mail address, how many tags being ordered, name and rank of service
member, branch of military, service dates (e.g. – ’03 – ’06). You may send
your money in with your student to be given to Drew Stutts.
Life after Band Camp
After band camp, rehearsals
will be held from 4 - 8 PM every Tuesday and Thursday until school starts.
After school starts, rehearsals will be held from 4 - 7 PM every Tuesday and
Thursday.
Graduates – we need your
shoes!!!
Since students will be
marching in the old uniforms for at least the first few football games, we
need to round up as many pairs of WHITE marching shoes as possible. If you
are a graduate (or know a recent band graduate) and are willing to donate
your shoes, please bring them to Jordan before the first football game.
Volunteers Needed
Chaperones for football
games/competitions/laundry help
We once again have sign ups
available on line. We’re doing pretty well on football games – we could use
more help on competitions. Please consider signing up – think of it as a
chance to observe your band student in their native habitat….
