Registering for the BBA Web Site is an important step
in participating in the Brookwood Band program.

At least 1 parent and each student must be registered 
for the band site to complete the Letter of Intent (LOI)

How-To for Completing the LOI Process

Dear Brookwood Band Parents,

I sincerely hope you are doing well, that you enjoyed some time at home with your child without DLD. It's amazing what we begin to appreciate isn't it? 

I have two VERY IMPORTANT topics to discuss and I will keep them concise. 

1. Taste of Brookwood
2. Marching Band Letter of Intent (no payment needed at this time)

TASTE OF BROOKWOOD:

As you are aware, we will no longer be able to host TOB on April 25, 2020 and have recently learned that May 2020 isn't an option either. We are crossing our fingers that June 2020 will be the winner date . . .  no doubt we would love to see each other! ?? Please make sure your child keeps up with the money for the tickets that they have sold so far as well as the tickets that have not been sold. There is no need to sell additional tickets! Our hope is to host the event in June and sell tickets at the door. We will continue to keep you informed regarding arrangements. 

MARCHING BAND LETTER OF INTENT:

The letter of intent for 2020 marching band is due by APRIL 15, 2020!!!!!. Here is what we know:

1. The University of North Georgia informed us that they will no longer be able to host us for band camp due to the COVID-19 restrictions. 
2. We WILL be going to band camp but are unsure at this time where that location will end up. 
3. We do know that the fees will be GREATLY reduced from the original $750 projected due to the loss of contract with UNG. We had initially needed to increase fees due to moving away from Toccoa Falls College. 
4. Due to the COVID-19 emergency, we have temporarily stopped the invoicing process because the final per marcher fee is unknown. We don't know exactly when the season will start or end. Those dates affect the overall costs of running the band which drive individual fees. Once we get some clarity on when we can restart and how the season will unfold, we'll send out specific information and instructions. At that point we'll be prepared to discuss financial arrangements should you need assistance. Again, we do know the cost will be GREATLY reduced for the coming year.
5. Please visit www.brookwoodband.org to register yourself and your child for marching band before APRIL 15, 2020. Should you have questions, you can email tech@brookwoodband.org and they will get back to you ASAP!
6. When the students register, please ask them to register for whatever instrument they want to MARCH. This includes any percussionists (if you want to be placed on snare, mark snare, even if you end up marching another instrument we will fix on our end.) and guard (if they want to march guard go ahead and register them). Once video auditions for percussion/guard are completed and we announce the results, you can refer to #3 above! ??
7. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU GET FROM THIS EMAIL - Do NOT worry about financial commitment right now. If your child wants to march, no matter their position, please go ahead and register them by April 15, 2020. Once we release the fee, should you be in need of financial assistance, we encourage you to reach out to treasurer@brookwoodband.org OR if your child decides they do not want to continue with marching band, you can let me know and we will remove them from the roster. WE DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN! WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!

If you have questions, do not hesitate to reach out to me! I CAN'T WAIT to see the kids! I CAN'T WAIT for this marching season! It's time to GET BACK TO LIFE!!

Much Love,

Dr. Stanley
