Female Instrumentalist Action Item
The band does not currently own enough concert dresses for each female to receive a dress. Females wishing to wear a dress (instead of a tux) will be asked to provide their own solid black dress for concert season. Here are some important things to note when purchasing a dress:
- Dresses should be long sleeved
- Dresses should be floor length
- Dresses must be solid black (no glitter, sequins, etc)
The district is aware that we do not have dresses, but there is not currently a solution on the horizon.
Mulch Madness!
SELL SOME MULCH! We have about 2 weeks to sell as much mulch as possible. The money raised will help with lesson and tuition scholarships, clinicians and technicians, and more! Fundraising helps lesson the financial burden put on our band families, and we want to keep our band fees lower than our competitors. Please help spread the good word!
New Sponsorship Form!

The final payment is due 2/15 and is $250. See a director or email our Booster Treasurer at ghspiratebandtreasurer@gmail.com if you have any questions.
