Good morning Trenton Band Families, 

We had a GREAT first football game on Friday night (including a Trenton win)! Thank you to the many parents that were there to help chaperone, move equipment and make sure the students had a great performance. Below is information about this week and some important dates coming up on the calendar. 

BANDapp (Communication):
As a marching band program, we are also going to switch communication platforms. We will be joining BANDapp. BANDapp is a free communication platform (available as a phone app and on web browser) that will enable us to communicate as a program more effectively (and concisely). To join BANDapp, please click this link: https://band.us/n/afa871h0L3i1F 

Parents: Please include your student's name in your "username/display name". For example: Michael Wolf (Frankie) 

We will begin phasing out Remind 101 so that we are not being inundated with so many communication platforms/responsibilities. ALL announcements and communications will be sent out through email and through BANDapp. BANDapp is also a great tool for students to communicate last minute needs (carpool, questions, etc). 

Trenton Marching Band FALL MUM FUNDRAISER:
Please see the attached flyer AND order sheet for information on our Fall Mum Fundraiser. ORDERS ARE DUE VIA CHECK ON SEPTEMBER 12TH.
