Pasty Sale 2010

You've been waiting for 2 years now, and the Band Booster's Pasty Sale is back! These are the same great-tasting pasties from the Upper Peninsula that we have sold in the past. Proceeds benefit the Salvation Army of Escanaba and the Pennfield Band Boosters. Each pasty is 6 dollars. Orders will be taken through March 8th. Supplies are limited so order early. You can order by calling the band office at 961-9779 and leaving your name, phone number, and the quantity of pasties you want, or by emailing Mr. Driver at driverb@pennfield.net. The pick-up day is Monday, March 15th from 3-7 pm at the High School Band room. You may also download and print your order form here.

Band Camp 2010

Even though we are in the dead of winter, the summer will be here before we know it and that means Band Camp 2010 will soon be upon us. Reserve your calendars beginning Sunday, July 18th thru Friday, July 23rd for camp.

There is also pre-band camp the week before camp. That schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, July 13th-Percussionists only 9am to 12pm
Wednesday, July 14th-Percussionists 9am to 12pm, Incoming Freshmen 10a-12p
Thursday, July 15th-Percussionists 9am to 12p, Squad Leaders 9a-12p, Incoming Freshmen, 10a-12p
Friday, July 16th-FULL BAND, 9a-12p

Information about camp mailed out to families in early April. If you have any questions about camp, call Mr. Driver today. It's vital to the success of the band that every student attends camp.

Band Boosters

The Pennfield Band Boosters meet the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6:30 pm in the High School band room. All band parents are automatically members of the boosters. The boosters run the concession stand for outdoor sporting events, organize fundraisers for band camp, chaperone band events, and BOOST the band. Please contact Mr. Driver if you want to know how you can help.
