Please disappear from work early, if possible, to come to the Hays CISD PAC to listen to your child perform.  I believe that you will truly enjoy the culmination of their hard work.  They need to hear your supportive applause to keep their confidence at the highest level.  After the concert performance, you may follow the band into the Sightreading Room to continue listening (however, no audio or videotaping is allowed in that room). 

Please don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions, or just to wish us luck!

Dear Wind Symphony and Symphony Band Parents,

We just received word from the Dallas festival coordinators that Six Flags will not be open on April 9 as originally advertised. Our trip has been moved to Friday, May 7, 2010 instead. The second installment in the amount of $65 will still be due on March 22nd as previously stated. If you are no longer able to chaperone or are now able to chaperone, please email Ms. Manning at: smanning@austinisd.org Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Please be sure to mark your calendars.

Please let us know if you have any questions,

Dear Wind Symphony and Symphony Band Parents,

As you know, we have a trip to Dallas planned for Friday, April 9, with both groups performing in a major music festival.  As per the band agreement signed at the beginning of the year, this is a required event. We are going to begin collecting payment for this festival this month and collect it in two installments. The total amount of the trip for each student will be $125.00 which covers transportation, building fees, judging costs, competition fees, admission into the park, lunch at the park, etc.

Payment Schedule: (you may combine payments if desired)

1st Installment due January 19 $60.00

2nd Installment due March 22 $65.00

Students who participate in the Spring fundraiser will have the profit (40%) applied to the last payment.  We will be sending balances out for those students in February. Please encourage your child to try to raise additional funds through baby-sitting, mowing lawns, and feeding neighbor’s pets over the next few months.

Please sign the attached statement of responsibility, attach a check (made out to Bailey Band) or cash in the amount of $60.00, and have your child bring it by January 19. 

If you are interested in being a chaperone, please let us know on the permission form below. There will be a separate fee for chaperones ($42.30) but this does not need to be turned in until the final installment.

Since the bands are competing, we are obligated to follow state UIL rules concerning eligibility. Any student who fails any class (English, Math, Art, etc.) in the first six weeks of the spring semester (ending February 19) is not eligible to attend this trip. We will not be able to give refunds on any of the installments. We will be monitoring grade sheets weekly that are signed by the teachers to help students who are in danger of failing. We need all students to participate in these competitions.

Thank you all for your help! This is going to be a great contest season!
