Dear Band Director:

The Apex High School Marching Band is continuing its tradition of Middle School Night this year on Friday, September 28. We would like to invite your 8th grade students who will be attending Apex High School next year to join the Apex HS Marching Band in performing the Star Spangled Banner in the pre-game show and playing stand music during the games on September 28.

I have attached a flyer inviting your students to participate. We would appreciate it if you would let your 8th graders know about this opportunity. We will also have copies of the flyer posted soon on the Apex High School band website at http://www.apexhighband.org/

To simplify things, you don't need to return the forms to us. We will send out music to you the week before the event, and ask that you distribute it to the students who plan to participate.

Giving your students the opportunity to see the fun and excitement of playing in their high school marching band is one of the best ways to ensure that your students will continue to build upon the foundation that you have instilled on them in your middle school band program. We appreciate your help in encouraging your 8th graders to come get a taste of high school marching band.

Questions? Call AHS Band Director Paul Rowe at 387-2236 (AHS band office), Sue Toman at 363-3657, or e-mail Lib McGowan at "Middle School Contact email" - click to reveal spam-protected email address.

Thank you very much for sharing this with your students.

2007-08 Kickoff Party! - Friday Sept 28, 2007

Greetings Parents and Band Students!

Please join us to celebrate the kick off of the 2007 marching band competition season being held on Friday, September 28 immediately following the game. We would love to meet new faces in the band families, as well as greet familiar faces!

We will be serving tasty snacks and cold drinks as well as showing the night's performance on video! This is something that all band students enjoy as they will get to see their show, ARLINGTON – WHERE VALOR PROUDLY SLEEPS, on screen for the first time.

Please help us make this a success for everyone by contributing the selected items for your student as detailed on the attached flyer. Please coordinate the first letter of your student's last name on the chart with the needed item for the party.

A collection bin has been setup in the band room for non-perishable items only which may be brought to the band room the week of the gathering or on the night of the game. If you are scheduled to bring a perishable item, bring them the night of the game in a container that can be thrown away. We will not be responsible for returning containers, etc.

We look forward seeing everyone after the game. If you have questions about this event, please feel free to contact Andrea Manus at "Social Email" - click to reveal the spam-protected email address.

Show Your Support!! -
Wave your Flag!!, 9/26/2007

During the show's presentation of the flag during "America the Beautiful", show your patriotism by waving your own personal American flag!  Small flags  (4"x6") will be passed out in the "band parent section" of the stands (next  to the band section) at football games just before halftime.  We will all wave the flags only as the flag is unrolled by the students on the field.  Please return the flags after halftime.

At competitions, flags will be available for pick-up at the band buses when the band arrives.  Flags should be returned after the awards at each competition.
