Our entire middle school band community knocked the fundraiser out of the park this year! I am so thankful for all that contributed to the fundraiser. We will work on prizes this week, followed by a finalized roster for the Chocolate party (set for early November due to a facilities conflict), and will send home our Carowinds info with 8th grade including how much they have earned off of the trip! Thank you all for your patience and for supporting our band program!

Our 7th and 8th graders have been invited by the high school band to participate in the Homecoming parade on Friday!
Itinerary for Friday will be given later in the week to all participants
7th and 8th graders interested in participating must fill out this form in order to be excused early from class on Friday.
7th graders will walk with the high school band and wave/cheer.
8th graders will be allowed to march and play with the high school band
Uniform for 8th graders is the “I’m with the Band” 8th grade night shirt and shorts
Uniform for 7th graders is a black Carrollton shirt and shorts (does not necessarily have to be a band shirt. As long as it is black it will blend in).
Chocolate Money Due
A reminder that the chocolate bar fundraiser concludes tomorrow. Students need to turn in $60 to pay off their current box. They can keep the remaining chocolate and continue selling it on their own, but must pay off their current box so that the band program can pay the bill to World’s Finest.
What an incredible job to all students! We will tally up the sales and begin drawing for prizes this week!
