Welcome to all our new band families. The Stinger is our weekly newsletter, which goes out on Sundays, where you can stay up to date on all things band.

CLASSROOM BAND CONCERT ATTIRE PAYMENT
If your student ordered a dress or tuxedo for classroom band, your Membership Toolkit account will be charged and you will receive an email for payment. The charges will be added to your MTK account later this week and that's when the email will go out.
Payments are due promptly but no later than Friday, 8/29. We cannot place the bulk order until all payments are received.
THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS!
We want to thank everyone who volunteered to help with middle school band night — we couldn’t have done it without you! Your time and support helped make the night a success.
CLASSROOM BAND FEES DUE BY 9/15/25
It's that time of year to pay for classroom band fees! There’s a “classroom band registration link“ on each student's MTK account. That’s where the classroom band fee of $75 can be paid. These fees go towards repairing instruments, paying sectional teachers, LGPE fees, purchasing concert music, and much more.
FALL SEASON VOLUNTEER SIGNUPS LIVE
Volunteer signups for football games and competitions are now live in Membership Toolkit. Log in to your account and sign up today! We couldn't do this without our wonderful volunteers.
BAND CALENDAR UPDATED
The band calendar has been updated with the lastest info on classroom band concerts, marching band rehearsals, football games, and marching band competitions for the Fall season.
AMERIS CONCERT CONCESSIONS - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The season is in full swing but volunteers are still needed! The proceeds from Ameris ensure that we have funds for all the staff needed for Marching Band and the start of the school year.
SIGN UP TODAY at Ameris Concert Volunteer Sign Up. Once you've signed up, you must download & fill out the waiver which can be found here. All volunteers have to fill out a new waiver for the 2025 season. Completed waivers can be sent to Marcia Godoy.
Parents - this is our single largest fundraising event every Summer. We need all of our parents, older siblings, and even friends of the family to sign up to volunteer to manage concessions at concerts at Ameris. You will get to hear some great live music, raise money for the band, and also earn some credits toward your student's band fees for 2025-2026.
BOARD POSITION AVAILABLE – VP of FUNDRAISING
There is still a position that needs filling for this year’s booster board. Give the position a look below and reach out to Kristy Reiver or Amy Kingry at president@roswellband.com if you feel you can fill this need for the band.
VP of FUNDRAISING:
Fundraising is critical to our band program. Fulton County Schools funds only about 30% of our program each year. Most of the funds we need to support additional class instruction, resources for marching band, indoor percussion, and guard are funded by fees and donations received through our fundraising efforts. We need 1 or 2 parents who can take the lead on overseeing and growing these events. This is a position that can largely be managed from home but will require an hour or two each week to ensure success.
This board position would allow you to participate in the larger board voting and decision-making process and help drive the vision of the program as it continues to grow.
