BEGINNING OF THE YEAR CHECKLIST

Below is the same checklist I put up on the screen at the 8/14/19 parent meeting.  Please make sure you read through the Band Handbook and copy down the dates from the Calendar before completing the rest of this list.  Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

1. Complete Digital Signature Page (or signature page of paper handbook)
   • Due 8/18/19
2. Input Charms information FOR BOTH STUDENT AND PARENT(S)
   1. (School code:  westhallmsband, Password is your student’s I.D. number)
   2. Due 8/18/19
3. Sign up for Remind Texts/Emails
   1. (Text @201920whm to 81010)
4. Instrument Rental Application, or rent from Music and Arts (we start playing instruments on Monday 8/19)
   1. (Due by 8/18/19, unless student owns their own instrument)
   2. Rental fee is $15 per semester, the first payment is due August 28th
5. Pay band fees - by Oct 1

6. Follow us on Instagram/Facebook (optional)
   1. (Links are on the home page)
7. Sign up to be part of the WHMS Band Association by sending me an email (optional)
   1. This will be a bit like a booster club for the band (except that the bank account is still handled through the school.)  We essentially need parents to volunteer their time and whatever skills they bring to the table, so that my time and energy can be more focused on your student’s education, and not on paperwork!  Email lindsey.foster@hallco.org if you are interested or have questions.  If you have financial/accounting experience, construction experience, organizational skills, decorating skills, musical experience, or have any other unique connections or skills, please include that info in your email!  If all you’d like to do is chaperone, that is wonderful as well.  Just let me know what kind of time you can commit.​
