We are looking forward to a great concert!

7th and 8th Uniform Check-in:

Uniforms may checked-in starting Monday, May 23, 2016
Wash uniforms in COLD water and Dry on low heat or hang to dry. They MUST be washed before returning. They can be dry-cleaned, but the washing machine works just fine.
DO NOT wash the cummerbund or bow tie!
Please send your child's uniform on a hanger.
Fill out the Uniform Check-in Form (posted on our Website Welcome Page) with your child's first and last name, their band class, and pin this to their uniform. There are some blank forms outside the band room if you forget. We MUST account for everyone's uniform.

Cario Band Beach Bash

The Beach Bash will be Thursday, June 2nd from 2-5 pm at the IOP County Park. We will have a Moe's Buffet. The cost is $7 per person and the form and payment must be returned by Friday, May 27th. This is not a drop off event. Students must be accompanied by an adult. Looking forward to celebrating a good year!

Cario Band Booster Year End Financial Review

We are required by our Insurance Carrier and as a Corporation to complete a Yearly Financial Review (not an audit). We need 2 - 3 volunteers willing to be our Financial Committee that will have a student in the band program in the Fall.

This is scheduled in July by the Financial Committee and takes approximately 1 1/2 hours. The President and Treasurer provide you with all the information you need to accomplish the task and are available by phone to answer any questions. You follow a five page check list and answer yes, no, or does not apply, and provide any necessary feedback or recommendations to the Board. You receive your 3 Hour Band Volunteer Commitment for the 2016 - 2017 school year. It is truly as simple as that!

Please email Beth Morgan if you are intersted in helping out. Thank you!
