Band Dad’s! We will be getting together on Saturday, August 12th to work on and repair props and Pit items. If you’re interested in helping out here’s the info below:

When: Saturday, August 12, 2023
Where: Outside next to the Mt Carmel Band Room
When: 7:00 am until whenever we get tired or get to a point in the projects where they may need to continue at a later date.
What to bring: If you have any tools such as wrenches, socket wrenches, screwdrivers, etc. Work gloves.

Note: MC Admin said that on the 12th there will be no power to the school due to the company installing the solar panels doing some hookup work. So it’s manual labor for sure.

The information above and more is on the Mt Carmel Band Dad’s Group Email. If you’re not part of this contact Mike Johnson at mikeyej@pacbell.net or Brett Alan Christlieb at brett@brettalanphotography.com to be added to the list.

*For freshmen and new band students, please have a parent/guardian with you at the fitting. Please be ready to pay for marching shoes and a red polo if needed.

*For returning students, if your marching shoes and red polo still fit you, you don’t need to purchase a new pair/new shirt. Please try on your shoes and your red polo at home to confirm. (This is a good time to look for your marching shoes and red polo.)
