Beginner Band T-Shirts

Hello Beginner Band Families!

All beginner band students have now been sized for their red uniform t-shirts.  We will hand the shirts out prior to our Winter Concert which is December 12 at Martin Collegiate (mark your calendars!)  The cost of the t-shirts this year is $13.00.  Payment for the t-shirts will be posted online.  If you aren’t familiar with the online process, please ask your school admin assistant for the necessary information.  If you must hand in a cheque or cash, please turn it in (labelled with students name and school) to Mrs. Strykiwsky or Mrs. Swann on or before Tuesday, November 20.  Cheques can be made payable to your school.  These shirts will be yours to keep and will be needed for all concerts and performances, so please keep them in good shape.  If you have any questions please get in touch!
