All band and colorguard uniforms should be returned by Friday, January 22.  Uniforms MUST be dry cleaned before returning and be accompanied with dry cleaning tag.  Also, uniforms MUST be returned on a sturdy hanger, wooden or heavy plastic.  Please don't return on a wire hanger.  They don't hold up under the weight.

**NOTE:  A band parent recommended Klean and Fresh, at 6721 E. Independence (704-532-3779).  She had 2 complete uniforms (pants and jacket) dry cleaned for under $12.)  *Please inquire about current price before dropping your uniform off.

Our next fundraiser has begun. The company we are using sells many different frozen, cook-at-home food items such as pizza, pretzel hot-dogs, cheesecake and funnel cake, to name just a few.  Last year we used this company for the first time, and the positive feedback was overwhelming (the Mesquite chicken pizza was awesome!!)  Brochure and order forms were distributed to students on Tuesday and Wednesday of exam week.  Deadline for returning orders is February 9.  And remember, as with all band fundraisers, a portion of any sale will go directly into the student's band account.  If you have questions, contact Karen Branan at 704-364-0878 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
