Director's Comments
Dinkle Update:
1. Please have them for the picture tomorrow. Westwood and Cheat Lake both used black Dinkles last year, so unless students have outgrown theirs, their middle school marching shoes will work.
2. Students who need to purchase Dinkles may do so at Fawley Music in Sabraton.
3. The picture will be taken tomorrow (Friday, July 30th) at 11:00 am.

Band Fees Update:
1. Unless arrangements have been made, all band camp fees must be paid before camp starts on August 2nd.
2. Uniform rental ($40.00) and dry cleaning deposits ($15.00 - returnable) must be paid before students can take uniforms home. Because we are using them for the Mon. County Fair Parade on August 9th, this means that these fees must be paid before students can march in the parade.
If you need to make arrangements to pay fees or need financial assistance, please read pp. 11-13 of the band handbook and contact Mr. Palmer at mpalmer@access.k12.wv.us.

The 2010-2011 UHS Band Handbook has been updated and is posted. All UHS Band students and parents need to read the handbook and sign the Agreement Form at the end of the handbook.
The Health Form is also included and must be completed and returned before students can particpate in any band activites, including summer rehearsals.
For returning band members, please note the changes in policy concerning fund raising vs. paying the $200 fundraising obligation (p. 13).

The summer schedule has been updated to include a change in the date of the Kennywood trip. School will start earlier this year than it has in previous years, so we had to make accommodations for the teacher work days August 18th through 20th.

ADVOCACY: Music improves student achievement. The Florida Music Educators Association has a PowerPoint Presentation showing the dramatic impact of an education in the arts. Click HERE for a link to the FMEA Advocacy Page, then click on the "PowerPoint Presentation" Link.
Further, HERE is an opinion that suggests that marching band in particular is the BEST activity in which high school students can participate, including athletics, clubs and other academic courses.
