Spring Band Celebration and Band Fees!

I am almost completely caught up with emailing parents about outstanding band fees. YOU MUST GET BAND FEES IN! According to our Band Handbook, all students must pay a $75 band fee and a $100 Instrument Rental Fee if they are renting an instrument from the school.


Students who turn in their band fees will be able to attend the UMS Spring Band Celebration from 4:15-8PM on Friday, May 23!


What is it?

Spring Band Celebration is a fun opportunity to hang out with friends and to celebrate the school year! There will be movies, video games, outdoor activities, and maybe some snacks if we are lucky! And yes, you can bring your own stuff (outdoor games, snacks, video games, etc).
