To all:
My sincere congratulations and appreciation to everyone for their hard work and dedication this week. The beautiful weather during the middle of last week gave way to rain on Saturday. Everyone accepted the challenge and put on a great performance Sunday. Our new members stepped up to the plate and did a great job in their first week. Congrats to everyone! As we now look forward to the 2011 season, we know the potential within in us and where we need to grow starting in just 27 days. That's right! Our first pre-band camp rehearsal is Monday, Aug. 1 at 7:00PM.
2010-2011 Ram Band Packets
Later this week, we will mail out the 2011-2012 Ram Band Packets. Each packet will include information regarding: 2011-2012 Ram Band Calendar, Uniforms, Band Notes, Fees, Medical Forms, Band Ca mp Policies, Band Camp Permission, Code of Conduct, Parental Permission, and new for 2011, Charms. Nearly all questions and concerns regarding rules and expectations are outlined within the packet. Please read through everything carefully.
New for 2011-2012 - Charms Office
The Whitehall-Yearling Bands and Whitehall Instrumental Music Boosters Association are pleased to announce Charms Office. Charms Office is an all-inclusive web resource package which is easily accessible from any web browser. Charms includes tools for nearly every administrative and financial task encountered by the directors and WIMBA. In addition, Charms is designed with personal security in mind. No personal information is available without secure login.
Upon secure login, you will be able to view all current financial information including band camp, uniform, and other outstanding fees. In addition, you will be able to view calendar events, volunteer for concession stand and chaperoning, upcoming events, instrument assignments, and download any misplaced handouts.
Every student will receive a personalized letter with secure login information with their band camp packet next week. Please look over the "BLU E" Charms sheet and familiarize yourself. I will make a full presentation of the major features during the Parent/Student Meeting on Thursday, Aug. 4 @ 6:30PM.
Band Room Closed until July 25
Mrs. Fletcher, Mr. Brough, and I will be on our respective vacations over the next few weeks. There is no need to return a school-owned instrument. We are available via email but won't check in at school until Monday July 25th.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe July and see you later this month!
GO RAMS!!!
Mr. Herrmann
