Welcome Back Everyone!
FCMB is in full force this week for everyone! Our leader and new marcher week last week started off with some team building, continued with the ice cream social and some hard work on and off the field! How exciting!
You will continue to see weekly emails from now on that will highlight what is going on for the week. It is important to note that if you see a change on the MentorFCMB Twitter, or if your marcher tells you about a change from Mr. Poremba or one of the other directors – follow those instructions! Many times students get the information well before we do!
Please remember to visit the FCMB section on our website. It is there you will find many links and important forms and paperwork. There is also another section with Forms as well.
Forms and Paperwork
* Complete Final Forms online NOW – You only need to complete Contact information, Online band Permission slip, and Emergency Medical Authorization ASAP. Mr. Poremba would like this completed by tomorrow, Monday, July 24th. This is important so that if the student isn’t feeling well, we can contact the right person. Here is the link:

Spirit Wear
If you ordered Spirit wear that was scheduled to be ready at the Ice cream Social, I will make arrangements to have someone after rehearsal on Tuesday for you to pick it up.

Volunteer Fingerprinting
One very important change for this year with our organization is that ALL volunteers will need to be fingerprinted through the Mentor Board of Education. It is for the safety of our students as well as our safety that these precautions be taken. Current volunteers need to contact their committee Chairpersons or myself to get a form. Print out the form and indicate the organization is Mentor High School Bands. Let your chairperson know when you have completed the process so that we can keep a running tally of whose is eligible to volunteer. If you have not been fingerprinted, you will unfortunately not be allowed to assist. Fingerprints are needed yearly.
Tag Day
Tag Day forms will also be out soon as all of our drivers will need to be fingerprinted as well. If you are interesting in driving for Tag Day on September 9th, contact Amy Freeman ([email protected]) and let her know so she can get you a fingerprint form.
