Welcome Back Band of Gold Families and a very special "Welcome Aboard" to our new Band of Gold Families!

The new marching season is off to a great start. Everyone, students and adults alike, are working diligently to make this a terrific season! We appreciate everyone's efforts for the band and have a spot for anyone that wants to get involved.

Football games, (and hopefully football weather), will be here before we know it. Let's all chip in and make this the best Band of Gold season EVER!!

To help make things be the best they can be, we ask each family to donate a case of bottled water and a bag of candy.  The water is for the kids for each game throughout the season and the candy for the kids coming back from away games.  You can drop it off at the pickup spot after practice.  Thanks!!!

If anyone has any questions or concerns please let us know!

Thanks to all of you who helped make Band Camp and the start of the new season go so smoothly! We recognize all the time and effort each of you invest and you are appreciated.

As you can see there is a ton going on behind the scenes! All these people were once on the sidelines too. Get involved and share the experience with your BOG student! You won't be sorry and neither will your student. (even if they don't admit that!)

Chaperoning is a great way to get to know your child's band friends and see the marching show develop.

If you would like to help, please click the link below to go to the sign-up sheet. It is titled "After School Band Practices" but it also includes all Saturday mini-camps, Friday night football games, October competitions and the Cobb County Exhibition.

The sign-up sheet is several pages long so be sure to scroll through all the dates to find the times you can help. Chaperoning is easy, but if you have any questions at all please contact Tammy Fulmer at chaperones@sprayberryband.com 

Go BOG!

Happy Second Week of School, Band Families!

There are several ways to pay your band fees:

1. We now have PayPal. Here is the link: https://paypal.me/SBBATreasurer?locale.x=en_US
-Please make sure you choose family and friends when making your payment via PayPal This will keep you from paying any additional fees.

2. Mail a check to P.O. Box 671051 Marietta, Ga. 30066, bring a check to the upcoming parent or booster meetings or send in a check with your child and they can put it in the black box in the band room. 

3. Direct Bill Pay through your bank. If you need assistance setting this up...let us know.

4. We take cash, check, and credit card payments at Parent and Booster club meetings. Please come and see all the exciting things the band has coming up!

5. You can also send in your payment with your child to school. They can place it in the black box. PLEASE place the payment in an envelope with YOUR CHILD'S name on the envelope.

6. You can still work Braves to pay off those band fees. See Lynne Bitzis or Murlene Feltus for information.

Please send me an email with any questions. Statements will be coming out soon. I look forward to a great school year and another phenomenal show with our talented BOG staff and students!

Gift Cards via our Scrip Program will be available for purchase this Tuesday, from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm. The table will be located in the parking lot in by the chaperone area. Any orders placed at the Mandatory Parent meeting will be available for pick up. We now have gift cards for Zaxby's. The rebate is 8%.

Wondering how much Scrip pay off your band fees? In July, one family got a credit of $150 from their Scrip card orders for that month. That $150 goes directly to their student's band account.
It really does pay off! 

Want to know more? Send an email to scrip@sprayberryband.com or stop by the table on Tuesday night.
