Good Afternoon A.I. Band Family!

I hope that you are all staying healthy and safe; both physically and mentally! I have had my moments, but we can be strong and get through this challenge!

Here are a couple of updates to share.

Spring Band Trip:

Parents and Guardians – If you made a payment (check/cash) for the spring band trip to the Baltimore/Washington area we are returning that payment. Please email the following information to both richard.weaver@redclay.k12.de.us and bahewlett@aol.com

  • Name of your student
  • Name that should appear on the refund check (who made the original payment?)
  • Address to send the check

*Any unused fundraising credits will carry over to the student accounts for next year. Fundraising credits from 12th grade students will move into our general financial aid account to help other students. Please note that the band boosters are not legally allowed to “pay” families for proceeds they earn through fundraisers.

2020-2021 Band Officer Elections:

Students – There is now a discussion board to nominate rising seniors for band president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. It is in the band Schoology page. Band Fronts will need to add March/Concert Band: Section 1-8 as a course in their Schoology account. I posted directions on how to do this on your Schoology page.

Please let me know if names are incorrect or missing from the list. Please begin nominating students and posting positive comments (no need for negative comments). There are four positions, so feel free to nominate and comment on up to four people.

We will vote for each position separately, beginning with president of bands. I will post the voting document tomorrow or Wednesday. Remember that this is YOUR band, so please participate in this process!

I miss you all very much!
