  • 4 students have unpaid band fees ($150 paid to the school)

  • 8 students have not paid for the accessories package they already received ($15)

  • 4 non-guard students have not paid for the compression shirt ($15)

  • 8 non-guard students have not paid for band shoes ($36)

  • 4 parents and students haven't completed the band form online, which means we have no health information and no emergency contact information

PLEASE get these items completed so we can focus on making great band.

If you are unsure what you owe, please go to https://whhsbandboosters.membershiptoolkit.com/user_orders to see any orders with a balance due.

  • Fruit will be delivered to the school in early December

  • Goal is 7 boxes per student

  • ONLINE ORDERS accepted at https://www.floridaindianrivergroves.com/ecommerce/796163

  • Check/cash orders should be placed in the envelope and checks made to WHHS Band Boosters.

  • Donations (instead of fruit) are always accepted!

Note: Florida Indian River Groves has let us know that their damage from Irma was minimal and they don't expect any issues in delivering the fruit that is ordered as scheduled.
