Save the date for next week's online parent meeting. A link will be sent out soon. It will be Thursday, Sept 24 at 7 pm.
Cathy Prows will be at the school tomorrow (Sept 19) and next week (Sept 26) from 10:45 to 11:30 to collect tuition.Other methods of turning in tuition include: Hand it (with the payment form) to Julie or Josie, mail it with a check and the payment form to the PO Box 236, Brigham City UT 84302, pay online on our tuition page (fee will be added) and turn in your payment form separately, send an online check from your bank to the above address and turn in your form separately.Keep in mind that the payment form is a triple form. It covers (1) your agreement to abide by our policies, (2) your release for any photos or video we use, and (3) your payment plan, so even if you pay by some alternative method, we still need your form turned in.
Medical forms must also be turned in. We need one from each musician. You may combine the form for people in the same family, if that works for you.

Lastly, if you are sick or have been asked to quarantine, please stay home. Please use the attendance form (linked below) to let us know if you will not be there, or will be leaving early or arriving late, for any reason.
Tomorrow is our first rehearsal. We are grateful that Promontory School never lost power, and all is well there. We hope all who were affected by the storm are okay, and that you all have your power back on. A lot of trees came down! Some areas look like a war zone!
I have done my best to remove you from this email list if you have made no contact with me this season. If you are still on the list and need to be removed, please reply and let me know.
If you are going to miss a rehearsal, please use our attendance form. There is a link in the signature on every group email (see below!), and a tab on the website. You can fill out the attendance form multiple times for whichever Saturdays you already know you are going to be absent, too. Cross Country Meets, Marching band, family weddings, ACT Tests, etc. Having everyone listed in the same place on the same spreadsheet is enormously helpful to me. You can use this form anytime, even if you wake up sick in the morning. I get an email each time someone responds.
Front doors open at 8 am, so if you want to come help set up, you are welcome!

Sanitization will include wiping stands and chairs and anything else we touch (tables moved, etc). We have our own bottles of sanitizer from the school. We do not need to sanitize before rehearsal. Brass, no spit valve emptying on the floor! Bring a towel or other absorbent pad. Bring your own personal water bottle & pencil.
Masks encouraged, but not required (Some instruments don't work with a mask!). You all recognize that there's some risk in doing this. Please please please stay home if you are sick! Like any kind of sick, not just Coronavirus symptoms!
Change in parent meeting: We will be conducting the parent meeting entirely online, Sept 24th, 2020, at 7 pm, and the meeting will also be recorded for later viewing. More information on accessing this meeting will be sent soon. There will be NO in-person parent meeting.
Cathy Prows is our treasurer. She will be at the school in the hallway from 10:45 to 11:30 am on Saturday, Sept 19 and Saturday, Sept 26. Please be sure to read through the Tuition page on the website. We have also made an online payment option available through Givebutter for those who prefer it. You can pay with Venmo, Paypal, or a credit card, but there is a fee associated with the payment.
Other ways to pay without an extra fee are to bring a check or cash, or send an online check through your bank to our PO Box. All these suggestions and details are on the tuition page. The Acceptance, Release and Payment form has also been updated to reflect the Givebutter option.
We need a medical release from all participants. Please print and fill out.
If you actually read to the bottom of this email, you deserve a special prize! Thank you!This is starting to sound like the Post-Audition instructions, which have been updated to reflect all the announcements above (but might be more succinct).
