Starr's Mill High School Bands, Fayetteville, GA

Welcome to SMHS Bands

CONCESSIONS CLEANING ... The annual cleaning o' the concessions needs to be rescheduled to SATURDAY, AUGUST 7th because the football scrimmage has been brought back to SMHS and will be played on Friday, August 13 at 7:30. We need to have the concessions cleaned up and ready to open for business that night. Yes, it's a little bit of a scramble, but it means MORE CASH in the band's coffers, and we need all the cash we can get! So watch this space and emails for revised date and plan to come help. Contact KenBlack@SMHSBand.org if you can help.

BAND FAMILY PICNIC ... The annual Band Family Picnic is this Friday, July 30th, at 6:00 pm. This is open to ALL BAND FAMILIES ... not just marchers. It's a chance to get to know each other, share a little booster business, and then cap off the evening with a sneak preview of this year's show. Bring your whole family! We hope to see you there!

PARENTS! -
Click Here to signing up to chaperone BAND CAMP!
We need two (2) parents at every rehearsal.
We have a couple more slots for the first week, and then all sorts of space for week #2.

Please note that week #2 is a somewhat irregular schedule, but the shifts are set so that the morning percussion and auxiliary rehearsals at school are covered, as well as the late afternoon Brass/WW rehearsals. Your chaperone chairs may see fit to reduce the staffing if they feel it's warranted. But please sign up for next week anyway! We need to be prepared!

Important Announcements

SNACKS FOR BAND CAMP NEEDED ... Percussion parents: We would appreciate it if some of the percussion parents could come forth and provide meals (2 ea) for the instructors, fruit, and treats for their students (about 15) for the week of August 2nd thru August 6th.

Also ... The SMHS Band Boosters would like to thank David Young for the use of a golf cart donated for our use at band camp and concessions while our band cart is being repaired!!
