MTSBOA Mid-State Band Auditions - Last Call
This is the last call for all SCHS Band members who are interested in auditioning for the MTSBOA All-Mid-State Bands. Registration is $10.00 per instrument. Band members must register by this evening and payment is due in hand by this Friday.
Home Game Performance: Vs. McGavock High School + Senior Night
A friendly reminder that home game Friday's are a little different in that students will be dismissed at 3:30 PM and should plan to leave campus as normal to go home, eat, and get ready for the performance. Please see the gig sheet for more information. Band members will need to be back to campus by 5:00 PM due to the senior night activities scheduled before the game. See the gig sheet for more information. We are performing the entire show at half-time.
Senior Parents - a letter was sent home with your child last week with information from the senior night activity coordinator about what time to arrive to the SCHS stadium, what to wear, etc.
Parents - Because this is a home game, we will not need any parent chaperones or any help in the cafeteria this week.
TN Division II SMBC Fundraiser - A Call to All SCHS Band Parents
A separate email and text message was sent today (10/23) with a volunteer sign-up link through Sign-Up Genius. We need to fill several key positions in order to make this contest successful. Please take a moment to click the link below to sign-up. In order to balance the needs for the contest, we may need to ask a few of you to cover in other areas where additional parent help is needed.
Please also be on the lookout this week for an additional sign-up for donated hospitality items needed for the contest.
TN Division II SMBC - Coca-Cola Products Needed
As we have done every year, we are once again asking for families to donate Coca-Cola products for the contest. We are asking for each band member to bring in 2 (two) six-packs of 16 oz. of the following Coca-Cola brand products:
- Freshmen: Diet Coke
- Sophomores: Dr. Pepper
- Juniors: Sprite
- Seniors: Coca-Cola
Parents - if you would like to contribute more, that would be great as well. Everything that we can get donated helps reduce our contest expenses. This means a higher profit margin towards our uniform campaign.
SCHS Band Composite Photography
The SCHS Band will have individual photos of the band students in their dress uniform taken in class on Tuesday, October 24, 2023. Flyers have been sent home with all the band members. However since we all know what student track records are when getting things to parents, we have a link below that will take you to the online order form. You can order individual photos, as well as the group composite photo, as well as other items. Use the coupon code 102423 for free shipping.
Parents can also fill out the paper form and pay with a check (made payable to Prestige Digital Imaging). Just send the check and order form with your child to turn into the band room black box.
Online Payments for Band Class Fees
Need to make a payment online using a debit/credit card? Click the link below to access to access the parent page of the SCHS Band website (not the school website).
If you need a specific amount to pay online using a debit/credit card, please email [email protected] with the requested amount and an invoice from QuickBooks will be emailed.
Text Messaging Service
Need something - text the band office at 629-276-2558. Everyone that registered should receive the MNR in a text format, in addition to email.
That's all for now!
