BAND FEES
Because these fees are all added manually, it takes some time and I was waiting to confirm with our bookkeeper that she had enough time to add all of these prior to letting you know that they are ready to be paid. WITH THAT SAID, IF you paid your skyward fees in full at registration, PLEASE do not pay these online. Now that the charge is there, our treasurer will be able to cut a check to the School for those who opted to pay in full at registration. If you have already seen these charges and paid proactively, please contact my via e-mail and copy treasurer@sachseband.org so we don't pay the district for the skyward fees that may have been paid twice. It will be mush easier to reconcile that through boosters rather than the district.
Side note regarding fees, only those with an outstanding balance from LAST YEAR are on our LOP list. Students will have until the end of December 2022 to get all band fees paid prior to being added to the LOP. As always, if a specific payment plan is needed please e-mail hctaylor@garlandisd.net and treasurer@sachseband.org so we can work out a payment plan.

Rehearsals (repeat)
STADIUM Rehearsal (repeat)
Monday following rehearsal, tuba racks need to come in to the landing outside the bandhall. At the end of your B Day band class, tubas need to go in cases and on these racks.
Make sure to load your equipment immediately at the end of the school day before leaving for the day. You will meet at Williams stadium 30 minutes prior to rehearsal to get your equipment off of trucks or trailers that have been transported for you. TUBAS if you have your own transportation for your equipment, please make sure that Mr. Tucker is aware of these accommodations so there is no delay in loading equipment.
TUBAS: Make sure that at the end of your B day class that your instrument goes into the case and is in the Loading Carts so you don't have to come in after school.
FALL BREAK
Most Spring activities are listed as well.
