The links are on the statement email and you can click them.

Band members may drop off payments to the secure blackbox located in the band room. Envelopes are provided for convenience. 
 
Technology Updates - Distance and In-Class Learners
All SCHS Band members will be using the FlipGrid App and SmartMusic for band class this year. All SCHS Band members can access their weekly assignments via Clever and finding their classes in Kiddom. They can also access the distance learners page by visiting www.schs.band and clicking the distance learners tab. The password is SCHSBand2020. Assignments are due this week. Please make sure to check the deadlines.
 
Also - all SCHS Band members need to make sure that they taken care of the self-service password reset. Please click here to for further information.
 
Friday Night Lights - Week 3
This will be our first public performance since March. With that there are lots of things that will be different for the time being. The main thing to know is that as much as we love having parents helping out and band alumni stopping by to visit on game days, that is simply not going to be able to take place this year.
 
No parents or visitors will be permitted near the band or in the building on Friday (either before or after the game). We are trying to follow all school guidelines to keep the band members and staff safe during this pandemic.
 
Click the link below to access the gig sheet for this week's performance. For our new parents and members, a gig sheet is always issued anytime the band has a performance ("band" includes color guard - which is an elite section of the band, not a separate entity or unit).
 
 
That's all for now!
