There 196 days until the 2018 Rose Parade. Rose Parade fun fact of the week: Officials don’t know how long the first Rose Parade route was, but they estimate it was around two miles. The route we will be marching is 5.5 miles long!
Days of ’47 Parade
For the Days of ’47 Parade in July, the band will be wearing khaki shorts and polo shirts. Khaki shorts are required for all students for this parade and should be long and in good repair. Please preparing for this now so that there is not a last minute rush to find the required shorts. Polo shirts and shoes have been ordered and will be distributed when rehearsals start in July.
We have received questions about what shade of khaki is desired. The answer: light khaki. Remember that shorts should be long — school appropriate length, please.
Marching Band Fee Payments
Payments for marching band fees can be made between July 3 and July 21. We had originally announced July 1, but that is a Saturday, so payments can be officially be made beginning on July 3. Payment information will be entered in the school district’s finance system that morning, so it would be best to wait until after 10:00 AM to give the finance office a chance to finish posting charges in the computer system.
Payments can be made online at MySchoolFees.com or in person in the Westlake finance office between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM on Tuesdays and Wednesday.
Please do not attempt to pay your fees prior to July 3. The finance office cannot process fee payments until the fiscal year change happens at the beginning of July.
Instrument Rental and Clothing Fees
Please remember to make make instrument rental fee payments. Instrument rental fees apply to the following sections: percussion (front ensemble and drumline), baritone, euphonium, mellophone, sousaphone, bass clarinet, and baritone sax.
Instrument rental fees can now be paid as a public fee on MySchoolFees.com, which makes it easier for ninth grade students! Email your receipt to Shawna Ivins (sivins4@gmail.com) after your fee is paid..
If you ordered marching shoes and polo shirts and have not paid for them, please get these paid so that we can distribute them during basics camp. These also can be paid online at MySchoolFees.com and then … send your receipt to Shawna at sivins4@gmail.com.
