Booster Meeting Tomorrow!
Here is your last minute reminder about this year's First Booster Meeting Tomorrow at September 16th! Come hear three selections by the Beginning Band and information for the whole year. Meet other parents and the Booster Board. Pay fees and turn in the handbook consent form in the AMS Cafeteria tomorrow at 6pm!
As indicated in the 6th Grade Itinerary, which was passed-out last week, Beginning Band members can stay after school in the cafeteria. I recommend that all 6th graders stay after so they don't miss the performance! If you do not stay after, call time is 5:30PM in the cafeteria.
Make sure you bring your instrument, music, band shirt, and kaki pants or shorts!
If you are still missing a band shirt, make sure you've paid the band fee and then see Mr. Foster for one during class.

New Handbooks Are Out!
The 2014-15 Band Handbooks went in students' hands at the end of last week. Please read or review all of the information, sign and return the consent form on the last page by the booster meeting tomorrow.
As mentioned at Curriculum Night, the reason we were delayed in printing these was the alignment with new ACS policies and procedures. The new Medical Form and Travel Policies are the same for all arts and sports activities in the new district, so please make sure to notice the changes.
6th Grade students only need to return Pages 13 and 14, as they do not travel outside of Arlington. They do not need to fill out the Medical Form.
All 7th and 8th graders must additionally sign, notarize, and return Pages 11 and 12 by November 3rd in order to travel with the band. This is to ensure prompt and effective medical treatment in the rare and unanticipated event of an emergency.
If you need an additional digital copy of the Handbook for any reason, please visit my website page: http://www.arlingtonmsband.com/forms.html.

AHS Tiger Band 8th Grade Night
Also out last week was the acknowledgment form for 8th Grade Night with the Arlington High School Band. All 8th graders should have received a copy, which must be signed and returned by Tuesday, September 23rd wether you plan to attend or not.
The AHS band needs an accurate count to know how many Flags, Drums, and Sousaphones to have ready. They also need to know how many students and parents will be attending, so they know how much Free Food to make!
The form should answer any question you may have about the event on September 30th, and digital copies are available at http://www.arlingtonmsband.com/forms.html.
Please visit http://www.ahstigerband.com/ for more information about the whole Arlington High School Band program.
