Hello Parents, We are in full-throttle mode for this season and preparing for the Indoor Season of 2018.  Thank you to Jerry Rivera, Daniel Cason (grill masters) and the many other parents that have been supporting our kids this marching season.  There is so much more work to do and we need your help.  Below is important information regarding the next several weeks.  Please read through and please help where you are able:  SnapRaise - 18 DAYS LEFT!

​​Hello Parents, Fall Drumline T-Shirts The Blue BPD shirts will be in mid-next week.  Once I pick them up I will send out a remind and a FB message regarding pickup.  My plan is to be in the small band hall on Thursday after school for parents to pick them up and pay for them. Indoor Fees If you are on the 7 month plan, your September payment is now due. The total amount is $350 for the 1st month .   If you are on the 10 month plan, your September payment is $192.50 (if you are current) .  Payments are due by September 15th.   Please plan to pay in a timely manner, as we are already beginning to plan and pay out certain expenses for our indoor season.  You can bring payment to the t-shirt pickup night or mail them to: 7632 Skylake Dr. Fort Worth, TX  76179 If you need to know your current balance or want your student's statement, please let me know.  Those of you who have already paid, thank for the month, thank yo...

Parents, For those that were not at the meeting last week, we decided to stick with our BPD shirt and move to a Boswell Blue Color.  This is a proof of what the shirt will look like. Our goal is that all parents will be willing to purchase 1 shirt so we show a united presence at contest and games. If you have not already placed your order, and would like a shirt, please respond to this email by Wednesday, August 20th. The cost will be $15 (S-XL) and $17 for (2XL and above). Just to clarify, your students will be receiving 1 shirt, so only place an order for any additional shirts you would like for family or your student. Thanks so much! -- Jessica South Treasurer, BPD 817/312-2047
