Band Camp:
Thanks to everyone who handed their forms and at least the initial payment on time. Marching band is very close to being full. There is a possibility of a wait list and/or having to turn students away who have not turned in their forms AND initial payment (we still have about 30 students have only turned in either a) uncompleted/no forms but the initial payment or b) no initial payment but completed forms).
Please get these papers and the initial payment in ASAP. We would hate to turn students away but it is very possible that we might have to this year. It is not too late to join if you haven't yet - we still have a few spots open, but we will not accept anyone past Friday, June 5th.
The full payment is due Friday, June 5th ($325 - $50 deposit = $275) - any forms missing are due by the time also.
