Odem Bands Schedule – Week of 1/16/2023
This week is a light week for us with the Odem Bands with no events scheduled. The main two items of note this week is that Spring Band Fees of $25 for Grades 7-12 students should be paid by February 1st, as well as any outstanding fall band fees. The Spring Band Fee goes towards helping pay for Spring Expenses, Clinicians, etc. that come up for the bands. If you have a financial concern with this please contact Mr. Rash or Mr. Williams to discuss it, and we’ll work with you on that need.
The other big item is Trip Deposits for Cleveland 2024 should be coming in on Tuesday. There are four ways we can handle payments for this trip; Our travel company can debit your checking account automatically per your selection at sign-up, you can pay them directly with a credit card (I believe there is 3% surcharge), you can mail them a check, or you may do as we have in the past and pay a check/money order to ‘Owl Band Boosters’ and we will forward that onto the company.
As of this email we have 50 Students/chaperones signed up for the trip. This is enough to ensure the trip is doable! We’re looking forward to what should be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our students here! Please do note we can still add students, so if you haven’t signed up yet – you are able to still do so! Please visit this site: https://bobrogerstravel.grcoll.co/go/odem8949 to complete registration for the trip.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have!
