What about Band Camp? Are we still having it?
Not in the traditional sense. We have postponed all in person, large group band camps. However, I am very excited and optimistic about what we are planning for the week of July 27-31. At this time, we plan to offer some optional, in person, small group training sessions for band students during the week of July 27-31. We will also schedule virtual social, training, and bonding sessions throughout this week between the hours of 9am-4pm. CLICK HERE for complete schedule.
Due to Covid 19, my family is having some financial hardships. What if we cannot pay the band fees?
We understand that many members of our community have been financially impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic. Our booster executive board worked the budget so that we can minimize the cost for band families for next year and provide financial support for those who need it. If there are circumstances that delay or prevent payment of band fees, these should be communicated immediately to Mrs. Wilson-Fields or our treasurers Mrs. Cindy Ford and Mr. Alex Stephens. We are here to support our students and their families. Everyone needs music right now, and we are committed to reducing the financial stress on ALL of our band families.
Do we have to pay a May Deposit to secure my marching band spot?
Typically, we do have a may deposit to secure a student’s marching band drill spot. This allows the most accurate numbers to provide for our drill writer (the person who writes the movements for our marching band show). However, due to our current circumstances, we do not want to ask any of our band families to pay a deposit right now. We will NOT have a May deposit to secure your spot in marching band. Instead we ask that you fill out the Band of Silver COMMITMENT FORM located on the home page of our website. This will secure your spot in the marching band show next year!
What if we don’t have band camp? Will we have a marching show/season?
Yes! The 2020 Marching Season will still exist. We have a great show concept that we will be able to prepare and perform even with limited rehearsal time if necessary. Our drill writer/music arranger is committed to working with us throughout the year to make sure we have a show that will be fun, entertaining, and quickly prepared. Right now, Hall County Band directors are considering having county wide marching activities throughout the spring.
