Practice Tonight – Thursday, August 20
Tonight’s rehearsal will begin an hour later because of the weather. All students should report to the band room at 5 pm.
The march-off originally scheduled for tonight has been cancelled.
Online Payments Available
The band boosters are now able to accept online payments for some band expenses. We are starting with student account payments, uniform account payments, and theme shirt orders. Over time we may be able to accommodate online payments for additional services or items.
You can utilize all three of these online payment options from the Members Only page on our web site. The page section titled “Online Payments” provides links to begin each online payment process.
Student Account Payments – These payments are credited directly to your student account, which is used to pay for band trips and certain other band expenses.
Uniform Account Payments – If your student purchased any uniform items from the Uniform Committee, you can pay for them using this online payment process.
Order Marching Band Theme Shirts – You can order and pay for theme shirts using this process. Your order can be picked up at the Band Stand table, set up near the band room during the latter portion of practice on Thursdays.
Photo/Video Archive
We would like to start building an online archive of photos and videos of current and past band performances, people, and activities. If you would like to submit electronic versions of photos or videos for inclusion in this archive, please email Scott Kronheim at webmaster@carlislehighschoolband.org to make arrangements to collect your contributions. As the archive begins to take shape, we will publish more information about how to access it.
Varsity Jackets
The time to order varsity jackets is quickly approaching: Tuesday, 11 August, at 5:45 p.m. Although students must at least be a sophomore to order one, the number of years in the band does not prevent them from wearing one proudly!
The attached letter explains the jacket, cost, and timing; the order form is for your use if placing one.
