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.

Parents are welcome to attend the fitting, as with all fittings. Any questions, contact Cindy Ebert at eftyeah@comcast.net.
Ironing Bee
The first Ironing Bee of this year’s season will be on Wednesday, 12 August, at 6:00 p.m. What’s an ironing bee, you may ask? With all of the alterations to the uniforms nearly complete, one last pressing is needed so that the kids look their best for their pictures on Friday. We are specifically talking about pants and hems. If you’re interested and available, we will meet in the Mirror Room. Please bring an iron and an ironing board, if yours isn’t attached to your house like mine. I bring a big towel and use a desk top. We meet, iron the pants, get to know each other, and otherwise have a great time. All are cordially invited – what’s that saying about many irons make light pressing?! Just let one of us know if you’re coming and we’ll save an outlet. Contact Cindy Ebert at eftyeah@comcast.net with any questions.
Board Meeting and New Parent Information
Our next band booster meeting will be held this Tuesday, August 11 at 6pm in the band area. All are welcome!

Car Show Passes and Football Concessions
Reminder: Passes for this upcoming Truck car show will be available at the beginning of practice this Tuesday. We are in desperate need of help on Friday from 11am-4pm still! Click here to sign up.
Football season is fast approaching. We have five home games and this is another huge fundraiser for our band/music program. We open a concession stand on the home side and on the visitor side for each of these games. The football team, cheerleaders, and our band students need your HELP in these stands to feed all of the students and fans that come in support. Each of our concession stands are vital not only to our financial need but necessary during each football game. NO EXPERIENCE needed for helping. Hat and closed shoes are required while working in the concession stands. We have opportunities serving drinks, pizza making, fryer, order taking, prep worker, clean up/dishwasher, floater, and so much more. Start time at the concessions stands is approximately 5pm. Any questions please email Lisa at concessions@carlislehighschoolband.org.
