Even if I don't call you, if you know your student still owes money and can make a payment towards the trip, please get that money in asap. Let me know if you have any questions.
Band Trip Students and Families: I'm making calls today regarding remaining balances for many of you. As of tomorrow, students should have paid of $1500.00 of the trip and only have a remaining balance of ~$150.00. Many of us are behind. I know money can be tight, but we have to make a substantial payment toward the trip - the cost of event tickets - soon and we need to have the funds in order to make that payment.
Even if I don't call you, if you know your student still owes money and can make a payment towards the trip, please get that money in asap. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey band!
Very normal week for us. We do start the chocolate sale fundraiser today, Monday, Nov 15th. As a reminder, once you open a box the cost of the box ($60) is charged to your account and is non refundable. Also, the profit margin has changed a bit in the first time in many, many, many years. Instead of earning $30 of that $60 towards your balance, it's now $27 towards your balance. Please take these points into consideration. If you haven't turned in your chair test through Canvas, please do so ASAP! (It's now late!) Trip Reminder - The first THREE trip payments are past due in the amount of $900.00 total if you do not already have that credited to your account. We're about to start dropping students from the trip who are substantially behind on payments.
