Dear Band Parents & Students,

Syllabus for Band & Percussion Classes

Dessert Sales: We are asking each household (with help from band student) to provide ONE cake or similar dessert dish to be sold. These desserts must be delivered to the BHS Cafeteria by 5:30 pm on April 8th. Your student may bring it to school (in the morning) or after school between 5:00 and 5:30 p. m. Additionally, we ask that you please send your dessert dish on a disposable platter, as it is very difficult to return dishes after the event.


Guaranteed “seating” is only for those patrons who have purchased tickets…After all…It is a fundraiser! (for the private lesson scholarship fund for next fall and for a storage building/unit).

Family members may come to hear each group perform for free, but they may have to stand if they choose not to purchase tickets.

All students should be in proper attire at call time…in red below.

Band Student Attire: Boys…Tuxes with bow ties. Girls: Concert gowns with closed toed shoes.

Winterguard: Show costumes with corresponding make-up
