Notes for students
  • Dress for both the parade and the show will be full uniform with show shirts under your uniform.
  • We will plan on changing out of uniform after the parade to make the bus ride a little more comfortable, then change back into uniform at DeKalb.
  • Plan to bring both a lunch and some food or snacks for dinner. We will not be able to stop on the way home since the show runs so late. Nothing will be open in Auburn that late at night!

Marching Pride Spirit Wear

8/18/2018

0 Comments

 
Today we're launching a spirit wear campaign through CustomInk.com! This is going to be a very brief trial run and, if it goes well, we'll expand our offering of designs and options and do a longer sale a little later in the season. We'll also do another general band program spirit wear campaign later on in the year.
Here's how it works (it couldn't be simpler!):
1. Choose your merchandise. For this order you can choose a short sleeve or long sleeve t-shirt ($20) or a hoodie ($30) with the design below.
2. Pay for the order yourself. No need to send in money!! You can also include an optional extra donation if you would like!
3. Choose your shipping method. Have the order shipped to the school for free, or pay a small shipping fee and have it shipped to your house. If you live outside of the area this option is perfect for you!
4. If you have your order shipped to the school you can pick it up in the band room.
That's it! There's no need to handle money, no need for us to purchase inventory, and you get to pick your spirit wear and sizes!
This sale will close at midnight EST on Friday August 24th, and orders will be delivered on September 12th. Unfortunately that will be after our first show, but we don't want anyone to miss out on their chance to order spirit wear so the sale will be running all this week. If this sale goes well we'll do another sale later on in the season for the ISSMA qualifying competitions. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact Mr. VanPatten at John.VanPatten@whitko.org. Thanks!!
