Spring Band Trip - Final Payment - URGENT

Good Morning,

This is a reminder for the families participating in the spring trip that the final payment is due, and needs to be paid before Spring Break so we can make our final payment to the travel agency.

Please email me if you need a final balance (also copy Ms. Cannon on the email) - I am out of town today and won't have access to my email, but I can get you a balance by the morning.

Also, we are now able to take final payments of any amount online by credit or debit card.  Here is the link:

Once you know your final balance, you will be able to enter it and pay online.

Have a good day,
Mr. Antmann

Important - Wind Ensemble Reminders

This email is for Wind Ensemble families only.

This is a quick reminder that Wind Ensemble students will have their final rehearsal for MPA tomorrow morning before school.  Students should be on campus by 8:20am.  It's very important that all students arrive on time.

These students need to bring their full uniform in a garment bag or labeled bag with them to rehearsal (including shoes and socks).  This will be stored until 3:00pm on Friday, which is when they will change.

Also, we will have dinner immediately after school.  Students have the option of ordering Chic-fil-A, or bringing a dinner with them.  The order is due tomorrow morning - they can fill out the form when the arrive.  The cost of the Chic-fil-A dinner is $5.

We still need a couple of volunteers to help with uniforms tomorrow morning, and to chaperone Friday evening.

Again, this email is only for Wind Ensemble families.

Please let me know if you have any questions, Mr. Antmann
