Trip-A-Thon - FINAL countdown
You’ve probably heard that the Trip-A-Thon Fundraiser was extended, but this is the final week!
**Students should turn in ALL CASH & CALENDARS by Friday, October 3.
Please continue to encourage your students to follow up with any potential donors and local businesses for support and give it one last push on social media! We can do this!!!
‘X’ Shirts Are In!
Friends and Family who ordered season ‘X’ show shirts can pick orders up Tuesday, 9/30 at the parent meeting or at the end of practice.
If you wish for your student to retrieve your order, please make sure your student is aware that they MUST go see Mrs. Keehn in the band room after practice.
**Student shirts will be distributed Saturday.
BAND FEES - Past Due
**All students fees ($650 Total) should be PAID IN FULL**
All fees were due August 1st. - View the full financial agreement HERE.
We still have several accounts with balances over 30 days past due and many who have never logged into CutTime. Please make every effort to settle your account before these are turned over. The financial responsibility of every member is vital to the success of our program.
Once balances are turned over to MyPaymentsPlus they are out of our control and students will receive a “hold” on their account for items such as parking passes, school event tickets and diplomas.
HOW DO I PAY MY FEES?
Mail: Mail a check to PO Box 658 Centerton, AR 72719 (Payable to “BWHS Band”)
In Person: Send cash or check to the band room/office (enclose in a sealed envelope with student name included) to be given to a director.
Online: Pay online through CutTime (3% fee)
**Please contact Chris Billings with any questions: treasurer@wolverinebandboosters.com
Work your shift!
All band families are obligated to work at least 1 shift in concessions each season to help offset our band fair share fees. (Yes, EVEN IF your fees are paid in full) The sales from our concession stands allow us to keep band fees low, but that can ONLY happen if everyone does their part.
Did you know we have concession shifts almost every day of the week? Review the list HERE and see where you can serve!
What’s Happening?
Our Regiment Road Crew has worked so hard to finish up our Xciting props and tarp for this season! Thank you to our amazing team for all the hours you put in to make this happen!
