PICKERINGTON BAND FEST SCHEDULE AND MORE

September 18, 2018
 
1.Pay to Participate

1. I just wanted to take a second to remind everyone that Pay to Participate fees are NOT a Central Band Booster Fee.  This is a PLSD fee similar to a class fee that is applied to students participating in extracurricular and co-curricular activities. 
2. Paying your pay to participate fee can be done online through your infinite campus portal or in person in the athletic office. 
3. I can not make exceptions or change policies from PLSD.  When I am told they are retaining students for not paying fees I comply with the directive given to me.
4. The best thing to do is to get the fee paid or set up a payment plan with the athletics office. 

2. Tournament of Roses Parade Updates

1. WE ARE RAFFLING A CAR!  Please go to www.pickeringtonroseparade.com to buy a raffle ticket.  I WANT TO CHALLENGE EVERYONE TO COPY AND PASTE THE LINK ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND TAG 10 FRIENDS AND FAMILY THIS WEEK.  WE NEED TO GET OUR FOOTPRINT OUTSIDE OF PICKERINGTON FOR THIS TO BE A SUCCESS. 
2. Get a foursome ready for our Golf Scramble on October 6th.  See flyer at the end of this blog post!
