Our booster organization, Panther Band Parents, is a nonprofit corporation which helps provide support and funding beyond what the school system provides.  Due to the difficulty in raising the large sums of money required to maintain a successful and active program, each student is asked to pay pledges to cover their "fair share" of the program expenses.

All pledges paid to Panther Band Parents are tax deductible

Pledges due will appear on your student account statement.  The boosters and student leadership have arranged several current and upcoming fundraising opportunities for students to earn money for their student account.  (Check out the Fund Raising page for more details.)  Student Account credits may be used to pay current or future pledges.

Instrument & Equipment Pledge

All students enrolled in the Instrumental Music Department are asked to pay an annual $75.00 Materials & Lab Pledge.  This pledge is used to offset the cost of maintaining, repairing, and purchasing instruments and equipment.  If you have already paid this pledge for the 2007/2008 school year through participation in another ensemble, you do not need to pay it again.  (See below for payment coupon and instructions.)

Winterguard Participation Pledge

Participation pledges for the 2007 Winterguard season are $895.00 for each Winterguard member. Pledges cover all regular winterguard program expenses including nutrition and gas mileage. Pledges may be paid all at once, or on a payment schedule. (See below for payment coupons and instructions.)

The 2007 Winterguard performed to a collection of Mozart's classical music entitled "Modern Mozart" as mixed and choreographed by coach Josh DeGuzman.  The music starts out strong to show Mozart's intensity as an artist. As the music progresses, Mozart's musical skill and precision as an artist, correspond to the guards' movements. This piece shows the skill and maturity of the small guard group with advanced moves such as the 5 & 6 rotations of the sabres (Lynsey, Melanie) as well as the 4-6 rotations of the rifles (Lynsey, Melanie, Becky). Each member is highlighted in a solo effort (Lynsey - rifle, saber; Melanie - rifle, sabre; Becky - rifle, flag; Jennell - flag; Aurora - flag). A smaller size floor mat was used this year and the choreography utilized all corners of the floor to make our 5 member team seem larger and more powerful in the smaller space. The floor is painted to look like the 5 lines of a musical staff. The girls can be thought of as musical notes on paper as they move about.

The show has a Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde feeling of intense and delicate, strong and weak, harsh and gentle, and aggressive and demure that matches the music with the girls motions. Complementary colors are used (purple and yellow) for the flags -- a strong purple color matches the intense music at the beginning and a soft yellow corresponds to the tranquility of the music at the end. The girls had several 1st place finishes this season, but ended up in 3rd place at the final competition. They did a fine job for such a small group (5 is the minimum number allowed to compete in the Winterguard circuit). Congratulations girls for a very spirited and successful season.
