Uniform Info, School Owned Instruments, and Retreat Info

Dear band and orchestra students and parents,

Below are a list of fees for uniforms, for those who rent instruments, and for the fall retreat. Please note what the check is for on the memo line. Cash is not preferred, but if you do bring cash it should be in a clearly labeled and sealed envelope.

1. Each fall band and orchestra students are assessed a uniform fee which covers uniform alterations, repairs, marching shoes and gloves, and dry cleaning. The shoes and gloves are for band marching uniforms only. This fee will be due by Thursday, September 28. It is $15 for orchestra and $25 for band. Please communicate with me if you are in need of financial assistance. Please designate uniform fee in the memo line of the check. This fee can be mailed to HCHS or dropped in the designated envelope in the band/orchestra room. 

-Band and Orchestra guys will need black dress shoes and black socks for their tuxedo and girls will need appropriate footwear for their black dresses. These items are not provided. 

-Brass, woodwind, and percussion members of the symphonic orchestra only need to pay the band uniform fee, not both.

2. Each fall students who are using a school instrument are assessed a rental fee of $60. This fee covers a portion of the cost of repairs and maintenance. Students who switch instruments to help with the balance of the band or orchestra are given a waiver on this fee for the first year. Those checks are due on Thursday, September 28. Please communicate with me if you are in need of financial assistance. Please designate instrument rental in the memo line of the check. This fee can be mailed to HCHS or dropped in the designated envelope in the band/orchestra room.

3. Here is an important note about the fall retreat and a consent form to print off and fill out and return to school with a check for $65 by Monday, September 12. The fee will cover the cost of food and facilities at Camp Roger and can be mailed to HCHS or dropped in the designated envelope in the band/orchestra room. We are looking forward to this time together. 

Thank you!

Mr. VB
