The next Australia payment is due this week. For those on the Australia trip be sure that you band fees are current. You may check by logging into the website, and hard-copy statements have also been mailed.

The letter for students to request sponsors for their Australia trip is now downloadable by the link below. A couple of points about the letter –

1. For tax purposes, sponsors cannot write the student name in the memo line of the check. You may be asked to explain this to potential sponsors, so here is the short version. The band boosters are tax exempt, your child is not. The check must be made out to SDHS Band Boosters and returned with the form on the bottom portion of the letter. This will ensure that your student gets the appropriate credit and the sponsor will get a receipt for the full amount of the donation.
2. Make sure your child signs each letter you mail! There is space for the signature just above the portion that the sponsor will return with their check.

Thanks everyone,
Eric Majors
