Medical Forms Due Before Band Camp |
|
|
It is critically important that we have a signed medical form on file prior to the beginning of band camp for every student. If you have not already done so, please take time now to complete, sign, and send in at least the first page of the medical form to the mailing address or email address below. If you would like for your child to take any of the predesignated over-the-counter medications while at an after-school practice or on a band trip then you must have the student’s physician sign the second page of the form and you must initial which medications the student is allowed to take. Remember the physician must sign the second page of the form in order for your student to be able to take over the counter medications you designate on the form. Lastly, be sure to have your student’s physician also complete the KHSAA Physical Form and return that form to the address below. If you have any questions contact Mike at mikeboothgm@gmail.com or 859-227-7985. Send all medical forms to: Mike Booth 1105 Foleys Retreat 40514 or email them to the address above. |

Join the Uniform Crew |
|
|
Are you still searching for your place in the Lafayette Band Association family? Then I invite you to join uniform crew! Contrary to popular belief, sewing skills are NOT required, and it’s not required to work performances days. While we do need a performance crew, there’s plenty to do behind the scenes on other days. Younger siblings are always welcome to hang out with us. So whether you have a little time to donate or a lot, please check out our fun and flexible crew! Questions? Contact Amy King by phone or text at (859)227-4253, or email at amy@bleedsblue.com. |

|
Order Band Shoes |
|
|
If you need band shoes, we will be taking orders on Wednesday, July 30, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm in the cafeteria. Returning band kids, check your shoes before this date to make sure your shoes still fit and are in acceptable condition. New band kids, you will definitely need to order. We will have samples to try on if you are unsure of size. White marching shoes are $38 and black concert shoes are $25. If you need both, the total is $63. Guard shoes are $27. Payment MUST be made THAT DAY. Cash, money orders or checks made out to RRR Band Accessories are all acceptable forms of payment. If you have questions, please contact Amy King 227-4253, amy@bleedsblue.com |

Want to Volunteer? Join the Lafayette Band Association |
|
|
Join the Lafayette Band Association today to become an integral part of the decision-making process affecting your student’s music education experience. Annual membership (June 1 – May 31) is $10 per household and includes the following benefits: · Voting membership (one vote per household) in the Lafayette Band Association · Eligibility to hold LBA offices and participate in volunteer activities · LBA name tags for each member of your household identifying you as a supporter of the Pride of the Bluegrass. · Your student’s instrument may be covered against accidental damage by LBA’s insurance coverage during band trips. Personal instruments of non-LBA members are not covered. |

BINGO – LBA’s Year-Round Fundraiser |
|
|
Fundraising is crucial to support the Lafayette Band and its activities. All of the fundraising efforts we engage in are important but Bingo (a year round fundraiser) does not require you to purchase items or sell items to your neighbors, co-workers, and family. Bingo only requires your time. Each night (Tuesday and Thursday) a staff of 12-15 volunteers are needed to run a successful Bingo session. The profits raised for the Lafayette Band each night are dependent upon a full staff of volunteers. Our Bingo patrons want to give us their money! We ask that each family volunteer 12 times per year at Bingo. Please find a Tuesday or Thursday this summer and come to the Bingo Hall in Keithshire Shopping Center at 6:00 pm. You will meet some great parents and support the band’s fundraising efforts. |
