LAST CALL for Show Shirts & Spirit Wear!

If you would like to order your own show shirt, or any other WHHS Bands spirit wear, to wear to cheer on the band at competitions over the next month, please ORDER BY NOON ON MONDAY!

Items usually come about a week from when the group order is sent.

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO THE CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!

We're up to 56% of slots filled, with % of parents participating. Better, but we still need your help with some really important items:

  • Concessions, both Friday and Thursday night games, is a major fundraiser for us and we need more parents to help.

  • Contests require a large number of parents to make it all come together. Last week we had 24 parents filling 33 volunteer slots. We need at least that each week! Please sign up for one today.

  • Willing to help but no time? We also need food donations for the meals we feed everyone at the contests. Boosters usually cover the main food, but we need parents to help with the rest. See the list on the signups list.

Visit our SignUp.com page to choose your spot.

FRUIT SALE - EXTENDED through October 16

All band members are asked to participate in our annual Fruit Sale. We've asked students to start turning in orders and money each week by practice Thursday to be eligible for the weekly "Fruity Friday" drawings.

  • 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.

REMINDER: Each student is asked to contribute an individual contribution in the amount of $300.

This is part of the cost of participating in band and needed to cover expenses. We gave you the option of bringing in sponsors or splitting the payments over the months of August and September with the final payment requested by October 1.

PLEASE FINISH YOUR PAYMENTS THIS WEEK SO WE WILL HAVE THE MONEY NEEDED FOR COMPETITION EXPENSES!

PLEASE JOIN THE REMIND GROUP for band students (and band parents)

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

  • 8 students have not paid for other items already received

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