Raytown High School Bluejay Pride Band
Welcome to the 2011-12 Bluejay Pride Band Year
The 2011-12 Band Year is shaping up to be a great year for all of our students. We have a lot happening this year starting with our own Raytown Marching Festival and then ending the marching season with a trip to the BCS Championship Game in New Orleans. This year's festival is going to be an exciting time as we have nearly three times as many bands as last year committed to coming. We are looking forward to this event! Due to the number of bands coming, we are looking for every parent that possibly can volunteer time that day to do so. Please look at the Raytown Marching Festival page and see where and how you can help with this event. We have lots and lots of places that will need your help! If you are not currently getting the Band Booster emails with updates of everything, please contact us to make sure you are on our email list. Terri Phelps, our Boosters President this year, has been constant and diligent in keeping all of us as parents informed of everything. So please make sure you are receiving those emails.
Second, there are still several opportunities left for your student to earn some money to help pay for their trip to New Orleans. Check out the Fundraising link and the calendar to see more information about upcoming opportunities.
Third, the festival season is starting in full swing with the Webbstock festival coming up on September 24th. Webb City is always a fun place to go and we would love to have every parent that can to please come and cheer for our kids.
Fourth, with all the busyness of the fall festivals and home football games, sometimes it is easy to let District Band Auditions be forgotten and get lost in the shuffle. If your student would like to audition for District Band, those auditions are early November and your student can get the music from Mr. Hill or Mr. Doney. Please encourage your student to audition for this prestigious opportunity.
Lastly, we just want to thank you for participating in our Band Booster activities and encourage you to be a part of the Band Boosters if you are not already. The Band Boosters really support our students and are a huge underpinning of the success of the band. Everything takes a lot of planning and the need for parental involvement just cannot be emphasized enough. We welcome you to become an active part of the Band Boosters as we look forward to a great season and a great year.
