*Band T-Shirts
The 2018-2019 Band T-Shirt will be the uniform for the upcoming performances (football game: 9/25, Pfestival of Bands: 10/1, etc). (If you have not already done so)…Be sure to pay for the “Band Bundle.” This is the ”Bander” and the 2018-2019 Uniform T-Shirt.
Students that were at summer band received their shirt, but some have not paid for it yet. Students that were not at summer band, but have already paid for their bundle received their T-Shirt this week. If you have not paid yet ($16.00), you can send checks (payable to KLMS Band) or cash or use the link below to pay online. (Be sure to put cash or checks in an envelope labeled “Band Bundle” with student name).
*Black Dress Shirts
The ‘formal uniform’ for 7th & 8th graders is solid black dress shoes, solid black dress pants, solid black dress shirt. We have already measured for the black shirts, but we will order a few extra in all of the sizes if you would like to order from the band. You can send cash or check ($22) or you can use the like below:
8th Grade Night with the Hawks, Friday, September 21!! (8th grade students only!)
The 8th grade students have been invited to attend a half time performance at a Hendrickson Hawk Friday night Football Game on September 21nd!! Below is the ‘least you need to know’…(more information here: 8th Grade Night 2018)
-8th Grade students should have filled out the ‘information card’ that was given to them by the HHS directors. Mr. Atkinson says he will accept them through Monday. (This is so they can have an accurate count for pizza and T-shirts).
-8th Grade students will stay after school. We will walk together to HHS.
-HHS will provide a pizza/drink dinner (if your child has dietary restrictions, please reach out to the HHS Band Boosters : Christy Anderson christyanderson226@gmail.com or plan to provide dinner for them).
-8th Grade students will need to take everything they need for the weekend as they will NOT be returning to KLMS
-Parent Pick Up is at “THE PFIELD” ! At approximately 9pm. They can not return to the HHS band after half time. If your child will be staying for the remainder of the game, they will need parent supervision.
