Senior Parents- Here is an example of a banner for you to see how the Marching General is put together. Click on the image to see a larger version. This may help you to see where the different pieces go.

Dear Senior Parents,

Most of you probably know me but in case you don't let me introduce myself, my name is Robin Michael and I will be helping you this year make a senior banner for your student. This is just the first of several notes that you will receive from me this year.

Plans are underway to begin the banner making process. The first meeting date is coming up quick so I wanted to touch base with all of you with the date of our first workshop. We will be meeting August 17th (yes before school starts) at the Lutheran Church at the corner of Dutch and Finzel from 6:30-8:30. Please bring a pair a scissors and a marking pen or pencil if you have one. We will be cutting out felt pieces for your banner during this meeting and answering questions you may have also at this time.

We will have further information for you at the Band Booster meeting this Monday evening at 7:00pm in the auditorium.

Looking forward to working with you this year! Robin Michael

As our High School Marching Band continues to grow (we currently have over 170 students enrolled), we want to review the steps that must be completed in conjunction with band camp starting on August 8th, 2011.

1. Review the 2011 band camp schedule. In general, morning and evening practices the first week, evening practices the second week. Two parades on August 20th and Preview Night on August 23rd.

2. Complete a physical examination and file it with the band office. You have 2 options:

• Dr. Anderson will be giving physicals at the high school on Thursday August 4th, 2011 from 10am-2pm. You do not need an appointment, and we will have the forms available. The cost is $10, paid to Dr. Anderson.
• Get your physical at your family doctor. If you use your family doctor, please make sure you turn in the completed form before camp begins on August 8th. Getting the form: Download the Preparticipation Physical Evaluation form (PDF) from the Ohio High School Athletic Association. Band students usually only need to complete pages 1 and 2. Student athletes can use the same form for athletics and for band.

3. Complete the Emergency Medical Form (PDF) and file it with the band office before camp begins.

4. Get fitted for your uniform and pay your uniform fees.

There is "early bird" uniform fittings on August 4th, from 10am to 4pm. This is a great time for returning band members to make sure their uniform still fits. Returning students need to bring their tote, spats, gloves, ascot, shoes (both pair), tee shirt and shorts so that they can be checked for condition as well as fit. Fittings on this day will be on a first come, first serve basis.

Additional uniform fitting sessions are based on the first letter of your last name.

Last name begins with	Fitting date/time
A-F	Monday, August 8th, 12:00pm - 2:30pm
G-L	Monday, August 8th, 2:30pm - 5:00pm
M-R	Tuesday, August 9th, 12:00pm - 2:30pm
S-Z	Tuesday, August 9th, 2:30pm - 5:00pm

During fitting, freshmen will be given a tote to organize and carry uniform items (spats, gloves, ascot, shoes, tee shirt & shorts) to and from performances.

Review the list of uniform fees (PDF) ahead of time so you know what to expect during the fitting sessions. Also, students who use school-owned instruments will need to sign a rental agreement and pay a maintenance fee of $50 for the year.

5. Parents may optionally want to attend the August 8th Band Booster meeting (7pm in the AWHS Auditorium). All band parents and anyone else interested in supporting the band are invited to join us. You can ask questions about band camp and getting ready for the 2011-12 marching band season. Plus, you can learn about what the Band Boosters are working on, with opportunities to volunteer to help out.
