RIMA Band Parent Meeting 7-19-11
Hope to see you at the meeting!
The first band parents meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 19, at 5:00 p.m. at the high school band room. Topics for discussion will include the band camp picnic on Friday, July 29, and the new t-shirt design. Please plan on attending; all are welcome! Please contact Avis Tripilas with any questions.
It’s that time again. We will be fitting uniforms during band camp evening rehearsals starting at 6pm on Monday July 18th, and continuing on Tuesday July 19th and Wednesday July 20th if needed. We need several people to accomplish this task. No special skills required. We will be fitting all the students in pants and coats, fitting the freshman and any new students to marching band with hats, and shoes. We need people to write down uniform numbers assigned, and teach them how to hang their uniforms correctly. New parents welcome to join us and learn the process. Students should wear or bring with them shorts that will fit under the uniform pants, as this will help with correct fitting. Monday with be mostly returning students, hopefully Tuesday will be mostly new students to marching band. If any questions feel free to contact me NancyPTAsst@mchsi.com.
Thanks to all for helping with this important process,
Nancy
