Representatives will be at the HS on TUESDAY, MARCH 1 from 2:30-4:00 to help students select the appropriate ring size. As discussed at the recent band parent meeting, the student account must be paid in full in order to order a championship ring. Ring payments may be made by check or a Charms fund transfer in the band office with Mrs. Good OR you pay online via wufoo form (a credit card convenience fee is applied). After the application of funds raised towards offsetting the cost of rings, the ring price is $175 (reduced from an original price of approx $300).
