If you did not fill out the sign up sheet with directory information when you sent in your child’s band payment, we cannot include your phone and email information for members of your section to call you. If you wanted to be included in this, please fill one out and get it in to Angela by Monday. The sign up sheet/Directory is available on the Handouts section.

The full year band schedule has been distributed this week. The schedule has been attached below and placed on the Handouts page.

MEDICAL FORMS are available in the Band Room. Each student must fill out a new medical form each year with their current emergency contact and health information. No student will be allowed to travel with the band without first turning in the medical form. It would be great if you would turn this in before the first football game on September 3. If you need a copy of the form, it is available on our Handouts page on this website.

Students were told that the t-shirt they wear under their uniform for games and competitions must match the front of their jackets. That means woodwinds wear a white t-shirt; brass players wear a black t-shirt and percussionists wear a light gray t-shirt. All band members MUST wear BLACK SOCKS. If you have questions about uniforms, please contact Angela Bowman.

T-SHIRTS with this year’s theme of Re:Directions are on sale now. Students may purchase t-shirts from Mrs. Bowman during practices or during class time. The shirts are $12 each. Checks should be made payable to FC Band. We have all sizes right now except for small. If anyone is interested in purchasing a small, please send Angela Bowman an email. We need an idea of how many to order.

SPIRIT DECALS for your cars are available now. We will be placing an order for these in the next few days. A copy of the order form is on the Handouts page of the website. Make checks payable to Spirit Accessories. Students can place order forms with checks in Angela’s black mailbox in the Band Room. Contact Angela Bowman if you need any other information about these decals.

Band grams and advertisement information is available here. All students are required to sell an ad or 5 Band Grams for our invitational book. Here is the letter that came in the mail in case you did not receive one. There are cash incentives and prizes too!

Meetings will be held on the following dates:

• September 9
• September 16
• September 23

The meetings are at 6:30 p.m. It is not necessary to attend them all, but please come whenever possible. The Band Invitational is a band contest held by our booster organization and will be on Saturday, September 25. We make most of our operating profit at this one event. It is very exciting and well attended by many bands in southern Indiana. It will be a great day for marching band!

Market Day provides the band with a steady fundraiser. Market Day has been in operation since 1975 and has grown to include thousands of groups just like ours. Each month, restaurant-quality food products, from the same vendors that supply many upscale restaurants, will be available for purchase. Market Day products are competitively priced and the Band Boosters will earn profit on your purchases.

Forms are available online at www.marketday.com or in the Band Room. Orders entered online may be paid with a credit card if you choose. You may also phone in your order to Angela Bowman @ 951-3584/502-641-7294. Please call before 12 p.m. noon on Saturday, September 11th to place an order.
