Director's Comments
Student account statements were distributed in class on Monday, April 14th. The bottom part of the statements need to be returned to the band office (with any fees or obligation money due, if applicable) by Friday, May 9th. (The form has a typo stating May 10th, which is a Saturday.) Questions about account balances should be directed to Terry Roston at 594-2990 or daroston@msn.com.

The first $50 deposit for 2008 Band Camp is due Wednesday, April 30th. Incoming freshmen can give their deposits to their middle school director and Mr. Palmer will pick the money up. Money should be placed in envelopes with the student's names on them and labeled "band camp deposit #1". Checks should be made payable to UHS Band. To avoid confusion, we also ask that parents put the student's name in the memo of checks.

Please make sure that the vestee and cape are attached, that the plume is included in the hat box, and that the uniform was recently dry-cleaned. Uniforms must have been dry-cleaned AFTER the last performance (for most students, that would be Florida), and that the dry-cleaning receipt is attached.

-------------------------------------------- The link to the 2008 summer schedule is posted to the left of the photo above. (Make sure to read the 3rd page of general information, as well.)
We understand that summer is family vacation time, so we ask that families please schedule vacations BEFORE August 4th (and inform the directors of vacations, summer camps, summer school conflicts, etc. in advance). In a nutshell, the earlier in the summer the absences occur, the better.
Any student absences after the start of day camp at Camp Muffly are extremely disruptive to both the band and the individual student.
As always, we will use the Kennywood trip at the end of summer band as a reward for students with three or fewer absences (excused or unexcused) during summer reharsals.
