Please welcome these students and tell them why being in band is so great. 7. SENIORS! – For senior night, the Senior information sheet filled out and returned by this Friday. Check your email for this form. And, immediately upon reading this, please let Leo Labrillazo at [email protected] know if you want to have a vinyl banner made to hang on the fence. Sign Depot in Nicholasville has agreed to make them for $25 (regularly $40). We need to allow for design and production time. During the recognition ceremony during the football game, Christian Ulrich will be our official photographer. Please make a point at looking at him when your name is called so he can get your photo. He will share these with you via a USB storage drive. 8. Discount cards are coming soon! We will soon have discount cards for local businesses to sell as a way to raise money for the band. Be looking for these. 9. Invoices for Missing/Late Band Fees – We will be sending out invoices for missing/late band fees. Please turn these in as soon as possible. Marching band fees for 2013-2014 are $175 this year. When paying fees, please make your check payable to: West Jessamine Band Boosters. It can be given to Janet Dean, Rebecca Labrillazo, or Mr. White. If financial assistance is needed, please talk to one of us as soon as possible. 10. Sausage & Cheese Money – Some folks have yet to turn in their money from the sausage and cheese sales. We need this as soon as possible! Note that the band will make $1450 on this fundraiser once all the moneys are turned in. Good work! 11. Using a school instrument? If so, complete a rental agreement and pay the $75 annual rental fee as soon as possible. 12. Please purchase a Kroger card! They are easy to use and help our program. They cost $5 but are preloaded with $5, so you don’t lose any money! You just add money to the card and then we get a percentage of what you spend.
