Good afternoon, Band Family.  Here are several important bits of information, in no particular order.

Our band web site is www.henryclayband.org.  Our Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/henryclayband/.  We’re also on Twitter!  We have a brand new parents-only support group on Facebook.  This group, which is a closed and moderated group, is for asking and answering all the little questions and finding resources.  This is not the official mechanism for communications, and participation is optional.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/hcbbparentgroup/

You can help raise money for the band by signing up or renewing your Kroger Community Rewards.  Just go to https://www.kroger.com/account/enrollCommunityRewardsNow and follow the directions.  Our member number is 10054.

You can also raise money for the band by shopping on Amazon!  Go to https://smile.amazon.com/ and sign-in with your Amazon ID and password.  Sign up to support Henry Clay High School Band Boosters Inc, and Amazon will donate .5\% of purchases to the band.

We also hope you’ll help us find new corporate sponsors.  As a non-profit organization, many corporations already have money set aside to help groups like ours.  Go to https://henryclayband.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/2018-henry-clay-band-sponsorship.pdf.  The deadline to receive artwork from sponsors for display on this year’s t-shirts is Friday, August 10.

If you haven’t done so already, this is a good time to sync the band calendar to your phone.  Instructions can be found here:  https://henryclayband.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/calendar-phone-sync.pdf

If you’re going to be a chaperone, please make sure you’ve been approved by Fayette County Public Schools sooner than later.  Go to https://www.fcps.net/site/Default.aspx?PageID=4980 and scroll down to “New volunteers”.  Existing volunteers can use this same link to see if their approval is still current.

I’ll be sending out a Spirit Wear order form as soon as I can finalize prices with the vendor.  Ordering will again be online only this year.

Thanks!
