Band Booster President Message:

RE: Paulding Meadows

1. We need more parents to sign up for Paulding Meadows. Please contact Jeff Dillard, dilhunt@bellsouth.net regarding the specific time slot available for which you are willing to work.
2. Please buy your tickets from the band prior to Paulding Meadows, the cost is $2.00 per ticket. Tickets will increase to $3.00 the day of the event. Your (band) child does not need a ticket -- but you (as the parent and/or non-band siblings) will need a ticket to gain access to enter Paulding Meadows (no entrance without a ticket). The band kids will be performing, so workers will be needed in addition to the band kids (band kids will be unavailable to work during their perfermance and brief rehearsal period on Saturday).
3. Most immediate need: We are in need of giant plastic totes for Paulding Meadows and tables which we can borrow for the event. We will need the tables to work from; and will need the totes to store supplies during Paulding Meadows. Your help in supplying these needs is greatly appreciated. Please contact Steve Patterson regarding either of these items: president@spiritofsouthpaulding.org.

Thank you!
Steve Patterson

Handbook Revised and Published on Charms

It has been brought to my attention that there were two schedules circulating with our handbook. If you received the schedule in the handbook as part of a packet it should be correct, but if it was printed on the reverse side of the football schedule then it is most likely incorrect.

The correct schedule was handed out at the Rookie Meeting in April, but we passed out the other copy to the veterans who did not need all of the pages of the handbook at that time.

The mistake was that our change for Thursday night practice until 6:30 was not published in the veteran schedule. Our computers froze up and deleted our revised copy and I left this change off when I re-revised it for the Veteran meeting. Please visit charms to print off another handbook if you wish.

I appreciate everyone's patience as we correct this mishap.

Senior Announcement for the Athletic Program

The following information is from Ms. Colvin - our cheerleading coach. There will be a senior picture for athletes and band members on Thursday morning at 8:00am. Please wear your show shirt to the picture. Ads are available for the program, but the form is due by this Friday. Click Here for a Senior Ad Form

If you have any question please contat Ms. Colvin

Schedule - Please Read

As a reminder our regular rehearsal schedule is as follows:
Monday: Colorguard and Percussion from 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Tuesday: Full Band (All Members) 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Wednesday: Winds Only 3:45pm - 6:00pm
Thursday: Full Band (All Members) 3:45pm - 6:30pm
Friday Morning of Game Days: 8:00am - 8:20am

There has been a couple of things clarified from the original schedule posted in the band handbook. SATURDAY REHEARSAL HAS BEEN MOVED: Saturday, September 19 has been changed to Saturday, September 26 because we have decided to attend our first marching competition on Saturday, October 3. The time for the rehearsal (9.26) is 8:00am - 5:00pm.

Remember to KEEP COMPETITION DAYS completely OPEN. We tend to report early to help focus students, warm-up, and work on last minute details before the competition and will definitely stay until after the awards ceremony which will not begin until after 9:00pm. The dates for potential competitions are 10.3, 10.10, and 10.17.

CORRECTION: The Paulding County Band Competition is on September 22, but that day is a Tuesday not a Monday.

PLEASE CHECK THE CHARMS CALENDAR. A rehearsal has been announced previsouly, but was inadvertantly left out of the handbook is a Friday rehearsal before our first competition. This is an "open" Friday in the football schedule so we have planned on a Friday rehearsal from 3:45pm - 6:30pm.

Other business from last night's meeting should be coming soon.
