Ways and Mean
Uniforms: Tips to Be Ready for Field Show 1. Please remember to put your name in your shoes. Things get hectic when changing and it is easy to misplace them. 2. We suggest you keep all band items in a small back pack ready to go. There have been many forgotten items come performance day. 3. Please check the neck straps to your instruments and your instruments. If they are dirty please wash them. The dirt rubs off onto the uniforms. Maybe if you find a nice inexpensive one, keep it as a performance neck strap only in your uniform bag. 4. Remember on performance days no makeup or jewelry. 5. If you have long hair, please come with it in a tight, tall bun. It is not easy to get that nice, clean look otherwise. 6. All hair must fit under your hat. All the small stray hairs must be pinned up, use hair spray if needed.
7. Gentlemen need to be clean shaven.
Thank you!

SCRIP UPDATES
Happy Marching/Tournament season!!
What is scrip? Scrip is a gift card (physical or electronic).
How does scrip help you/BCG (band/color guard)? You buy a gift card for the face value – but we (boosters) purchase it at a discount (profit). For example, a $100 Walmart/Target gift card garners a 2.5% profit. That is $2.50. It may not seem like much but if you think of the retailers you spend money at every day, it adds up.
Here are some of the profits for popular retailers:
Sprouts=5%
Vons/Albertsons/Stater Bros=4%
Starbucks= 4.5%
Chipotle/Macy’s=10%
Old Navy= 14%
Most gas/fuel= 1.5%
Home Depot= 4%
and many more are available.
Go to the ShopWithScrip website for a full list!
Any profit generated is posted to your Fair Share account once a month – if you have met your Fair Share (Color Guard/Marching/Winter Guard/Jazz/Drumline), the profit goes to the general fund.
So your everyday shopping can help you meet your Fair Share commitment to the BCG! It is so easy!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Blessings,

Men in Black
The volunteers are an extremely important part to performing our show and without you it puts more pressure on our kids to get the sets onto the field.
If you have not yet signed up for the Men in Black and can help out, please send me an email and I will add you to our team and send you the sign up sheet.
Thanks!

Communication Due to recent changes and new limitations with the text service “Remind 101”, we have had to adjust our ways of communication with the members and families of our program. I am only allowed to have 10 “classes” with less than 150 subscribers in each class. Therefore, I have had to archive each class, empty out the roster, and reset the class code for all to rejoin. To accommodate our huge Booster Organization, I have split you up by last name! See the “Remind 101” section below.
We will also be using the “Band” App this year! This app serves us in a similar way that Facebook and Instagram work. We will be able to share pictures, view the calendar, and of course communicate through this app! See the “Band App” section below.
Remind 101
Step 1: Text your “class code” to 81010
Step 2: After you respond, you will be asked to provide your full name. Once you respond, you will then be subscribed to future text messages!
| Class or Section | Class Code |
| Brass | @eldobrass |
| Woodwinds | @eldoww |
| Percussion | @eldoperc |
| Color Guard | @eldocg |
| Band Council (student leaders only) | @eldoleader |
| Jazz 1 | @eldojazz1 |
| Jazz 2 | @eldojazz2 |
| Jazz 3 | @eldojazz3 |
| Boosters: Last Name A-K | @boostA-K |
