Hi Parents!
For marching band/concert band and guard, there are three important dates each summer:
Important information is provided to parents and students mid-summer in an annual "Big Band" Meeting.
Registration and uniform fitting is a required in-person event at Patrick Henry.
Summer Workshop (= "band camp") occurs in July.
If your student is interested in marching band or color guard but did not participate in these events, please email info@spiritof76boosters.com ASAP, so we can let you know what might be possible for this school year.
If your student participates in choir or orchestra, organizational meetings will take place after school starts.
The annual "Big Orchestra" meeting (for parents and students) will take place at the high school on Tuesday, August 18 from 6:30-8:00 pm.
Organizational information about Choir will be available soon!

Your child will need:
Polo-shirt - Polo shirts (often called "B shirts") are worn for Pep Band games and other community events. They are not required, but highly recommended. Order using the Spirit Wear Store link.
Marching Socks - Available in the Spirit Wear Store.
Dinkles (Marching Shoes) - Use either link to purchase one pair of black shoes. We have samples in the Music Room that students can try on before ordering. You may order from either site (Band Shoes Online or Amazon). It's your choice where to order from.

Step Seven - Learn About Fundraising
Step Seven - Learn About Fundraising
The success of Patrick Henry's large portfolio of music programs is due to our amazing music director, a wonderful and talented group of young adults, and you - the parents and caregivers. Because school district funding covers only a small portion of our programs' costs, the Spirit of '76 Boosters coordinate many fundraising activities throughout the year.
