MARCHING BAND – THE BLUE REGIMENT

THE BLUE REGIMENT MARCHING BAND
The award winning Blue Regiment Marching Band is an ambassador of
East Forsyth High School. We are a competitive band that works hard to create
exciting shows for halftime at football games and Saturday competitions.
The band travels with the football team to games, supporting the team. We also
perform in community events, such as the Kernersville and Winston Salem
Christmas parades, and the Winston Salem Veteran’s Day Parade.
I hope all of you will consider joining the marching band next fall. It is a great opportunity to meet new friends before school starts. It will also help you improve your musical skills and help you manage your time better. Marching Band is considered a varsity sport, and you will get a letter at the successful conclusion of your first season, and a star each season thereafter.
This year’s show is still in the works. Rest assured, whichever direction we go with the show, it is sure to please Friday and Saturday crowds alike. It is going to be a blast as always- so join us!

First Payment (non-refundable) due by June 13: $125.00 (reserves your spot)
Second Payment due
The increase in fees reflects the decrease in fundraising we have experienced over the past two seasons, and increased costs for goods and services we use. By raising fees, we can avoid door-to-door fundraisers for marching band.
Fees go towards the creation of original arrangements of music and drill, payment to staff members, uniform cleaning, transportation, food for band camp, registration for contests, and equipment. We MUST have money to run this program. Please be prepared to pay your fair share. If you owe fees from previous years, you need to rectify this before band camp, please.
PLEASE RETURN THE BELOW FORM NO LATER THAN FRIDAY June 8, 2012. I need to know what size group to plan for.
MARCHING BAND COMMITMENT FORM
I have read through these dates carefully, and am aware of the importance of attending all of Band Camp. If you have any conflicts with camp dates, please list them for me, so I can try to work with you. You should be available for ALL competition dates.
