*** We will offer senior pinning and photos 20-minutes before your band's call time on the May 15-16 concerts. Also - all students will be turning in their concert uniforms immediately following their band's concert. Everyone should bring a change of clothes to change into after their concert.

Congratulations to all students that tried out for an SLT or Band Council position with the 2024-2025 Season. Candidates for quartermaster will be contact this week.

Remember that you are required to be at all of our SLT/Band Council Summer Training and Workshops. These dates were announced after Spring Break when we started our spring leadership workshops; you should have already cleared these dates (you may not leave early or arrive late).

• Thurs, May 30 (after music camp): 1pm-6pm
• Fri, May 31: 9am-3pm
• Mon, July 22: 9am-3pm

All students in the 2024-2025 band and guard program are required to submit the UIL Pre-Participation Form (physicals). They are required prior to the first summer rehearsal of the 2024-2025 season. The exam must take place and be dated after May 1, 2024. You can go to your primary physician (with the UIL Pre-Participation form) or places like CareNow for a sports physical. If you already have a form for 2024-2025 Athletics, you can share a copy of that form with us. If you do not provide a form on the dates below, you will not be allowed to participate in rehearsal. Once you provide the required form, you will be able to participate.

Please bring completed forms in-person no sooner than on these dates. We will not accept them early or through an email/scan. There will be a collection table as students arrive rehearsal.

• Colorguard: May 28 (first summer colorguard practice)
• Percussion: May 28 (first summer percussion practice)
• Brass/Woodwinds: July 23 (first day of summer band camp)

If you missed registration, please come to Alternate Registration on Tuesday, May 21 (4:30-6:00pm) in the AHS Ensemble Room. Please enter door 33C (near the Band Hall Door). See ARCHIVED TWIB NOTES HERE for a payment breakdown.

We will not place additional orders for attire and contest uniforms for families that do not go to alternate registration. Orders will be placed when student registration is completed. This will result in higher pricing (since the order will not be a part of the original bulk order) and the possibility of not performing due to lack of uniform accessories arriving in time. If parents cannot come to registration in person: please ensure your student can come to registration with the proper payment (check, card, cash).

Some people are wondering why we don't release a link to pay fees. We tried an online registration process a few years ago and were unsuccessful.

• We were continually chasing fees through the entire marching season even with imposed deadlines.
• We had inaccurate orders because families didn't really know what they needed.
• We had to make multiple orders causing excessive inefficiencies.
• We paid for items at higher costs because we couldn't take advantage of bulk purchases (when making multiple orders).
• Families refused paying the SchoolPay fees online and came in person to turn payments in anyways.
• Working out issues with payments and obligations in-person is more accurate and efficient.
• We do not have a large staff available to handle the volume of online processing; we rely on dozens of volunteers to help process orders in-person.

We have lots of spots that need to be filled!! Log in to sign up at www.allenband.com/volunteer. Contact Cindy with any questions at volunteers@allenband.com
