Hello Band Families,

Welcome to (or back to) band and school. We have a great season ahead of us and a part of that is keeping our marchers looking their finest! Thank you to all of those who helped fit the entire marching band over a 4 day period during pre-camp.. Some of the pants/bibs will need to be hemmed or maybe even let out.. Please have your student check their uniform bag. If there is a notice attached to their uniform bag then they need to bring them home for hemming. Make sure they check their bags! I have attached the same notice to this email. You can hem the bibs yourself (very easy) or have a professional do it. Uniforms must be returned by September 14.

During the 9 am – 9 pm practice on Sept. 22, we will have all students try on their uniforms for the last check before our first competition on Sept. 29th. We do need some volunteers to help us check all the uniforms and drive kids to and from the practice field. Please contact us at uniforms@athensdriveband.com

Billing Items:
You will see on your statement in the next few months a charge for shoes if ordered during fittings –$45 approx. new or $10 used. Please remind your students to keep track of all the pieces of their uniform.. Lost gloves or shoes that need to be replaced will be charged.

ON ANOTHER NOTE:

If your student is planning on attending the NC State Band Day, they will need their complete uniform and shoes. We do not know who has signed up so please contact the uniform committee to let us know.

Of course, please contact Shayla or me if you ever have any questions.

We do need a parent who would like to train to be a part of the committee, as my daughter is a senior and we will be graduating from this lovely, amazing band family.

Thank you all for your support!
Allison and Shayla
