Newcastle Band Boosters

The meeting previously scheduled for next Monday, Oct. 26th has needed to be moved to this Monday, Oct. 19th. The meeting will be at 6:00 p.m. in the Band Hall. Please try to adjust your schedule. Thanks!

The Quarterback Club is selling their pink out shirts for Homecoming!

Just a reminder about Thursday night!! We will do our uniform fitting the evening of Thursday, August 27th in the Band Hall. We'll get started at 5:00 and be done by 7:00 (hopefully). PARENTS: We need a minimum of 6 parents to help with the fitting process. There will be a specific procedure and each parent will be assigned to a fitting station. We also need a couple of folks with ironing boards to iron a good crease in the pants once they are hemmed.... STUDENTS: Please wear gym shorts and a t-shirt. We can't fit pants over jeans and changing in and out of jeans to try on pants wastes a bunch of time. Please try to show up according to the schedule below. 5:00 - Seniors/Juniors 5:30 - Sophomores 6:15 - Freshmen Shoes will be ordered during class. New marching shoes cost about $35. We also have plenty of "gently" used marching shoes that are free. For those planning ahead: The school provides the uniform jacket, pants, uniform bag, hat, plume, gloves, and gauntlets. The student/parent provides the marching band shoes, black socks (no footie socks), and band shirt. Thanks for your help with this big task! -- Todd Baker Newcastle Racer Bands 405-593-6035

Next Monday, August 31st, there will be a band parent meeting from 6:00-7:30 in the High School Band Hall. Please check your schedule and see if you are free to come out. We will be discussing issues that have a direct affect on all of the band students. Throughout the year there will be many opportunities for you as parents to help out your child and the band program. This meeting will give all of you a better idea on how you can easily help. Thanks all!... -- Todd Baker Newcastle Racer Bands 405-593-6035
