SCHS Band Christmas Concert and Dress ASR's 
The Dress Rehearsal for the 10th Annual SCHS Band Christmas Concert will take place for the members of the freshmen concert band and symphonic band on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 from 3:45 PM until 5:30 PM. The Dress Rehearsal for the Wind Ensemble will take place on Wednesday, December 13, also from 3:45 PM - 5:30 PM.
 
For the Dress ASR - This is the term we use to delineate a rehearsal in which we will run the entire program. The students do not have to be dressed in concert attire for the Dress ASR. Every year we have at least one freshmen band member who likes to dress up for the Dress ASR.
 
Concert Attire
All new band members have received concert attire, or returning members have received replacements, so we ask that parents help by making sure the concert attire is neat and pressed for our concert. New band members wearing the concert gowns (or those who needed a replacement) can be picked up following the Dress ASR on Tuesday, December 12.
 
Band Class Fees and Statement Updates
We have heard from many parents who have expressed frustration at reading and deciphering the QuickBooks system of invoices, credits, and statements. It has been just as frustrating on our end. We are going back to the previous system that many parents seemed to like better with everything emailed out and in one place using our Microsoft Office Suite software and sending out activity statements through mail merge. We are in the process of exporting everything from QuickBooks and hope to get this resolved soon. We appreciate the flexibility. While the thought of going to a more professional platform seemed like the right decision at the time, it has done nothing but created more headaches. We will go back to what we know works. This will in no way affect the online payment system. Payments can still be taken online through the parent page of the band website (this will still be administered through QuickBooks).
