First NPMK Payment Due – Jul 15

Just a reminder that the first NPMK payment is due Tuesday, July 15. If paying by check, please put your payment in an envelope labeled with your student’s name and description of the payment. Place the envelope in the Blue Box in the band room (to the left as you enter the room). To pay online, visit our Online Payments page (includes a 3.25% service fee).

Knight of Sound Committee Chairs

It is hard to believe that our home competition (Knight of Sound) is only about 12 weeks away. I am currently looking for people to chair different areas of the show. The chairpersons oversee volunteers for their area the day of the show. If you would like to be a chairperson, please use the signup link below. Chairpersons MUST be available the entire day of Knight of Sound on Saturday, October 11, 2025. We will have a kick-off meeting on August 4th at 6:30pm. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Knight of Sound Committee Chair SignUp

This is my last year with NPMA, so I’m also looking for someone to takeover as KOS Chair next year. If you’re interested in shadowing me this year, please let me know!

Baseball Mania Fundraiser

This fundraiser is a great way to earn Student Credit toward band fees and the 2026 LA trip! Each ticket is $20 and your student will make $10 for each ticket sold. Ticket holders have the chance to win up to $400 each week of the 10-week program based on the scores of their randomly assigned MLB teams.

This fundraiser is completely online. Selling electronic tickets can be a great way to expand your fundraising reach to friends and family that live outside your geographic area. Please click on the link below and follow the directions to get started and to customize your own fundraising webpage:

  • If you are a parent, make sure to log in using your child’s first and last name when prompted and your email address as the contact if they do not have an email address of their own. The Charity Mania website will show me when your page is created and I will be able to track the progress of your online sales.
  • Create your page by 7/16/2025. The game starts on 7/21/2025 and we will have a guaranteed weekly winner.

Student Financials Update

I am currently working on wrapping up the 2024-2025 season in CUT TIME. Then, I will be able to start on the new 2025-2026 season. Please be patient with me. I hope I will have it all completed by the end of next week and I will put a message on the Band app as soon as it is ready. Thank you.

New Parents: CUT TIME is the app we use to track Student Financials (your payments due and fundraiser credits earned). Once the new season is set up, you will receive a text with a link to your student’s account. For more information, view the CUT TIME Instructions page.
