FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS
Friday is the second $100 Band Assessment due date. (The first $100 was due on August 15). Thank you for keeping up with the band assessments. Those students who have not made payments, have not participated in a fundraising project, and whose parents have not contacted Mr. Obado about band assessments will be unable to perform with the group beginning this week. While finances should not deter a student from participating in the band program, there are financial responsibilities that come with band. If a student is having trouble covering the band assessments, it is the responsibility of the student's parents to contact Mr. Obado or Mr. Steff. We ALWAYS work with EVERY situation. Please communicate!

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!
Thanks so much for the parents that have been volunteering. We love seeing new faces and appreciate any time that you may have. We can't succeed without the help from parents and other volunteers. Please don't hesitate contacting any of our board members if you are interested in helping out. http://www.uhsband.com/contact.html
