Low Country Invitational - Marching Band Competition
As part of their grade, students are required to attend outside band performances. A great opportunity to attend a performance as well as support the Wando Band is on Saturday, October 4th at the Low Country Invitational (LCI). Several bands from the low country area will be performing at the Wando football stadium. Cario band students get free admission if they are wearing their Cario Bands t-shirt. In the event that the 6th grade t-shirts do not arrive in time, there is a ticket stub at the bottom of the attached Low Country Invitational flyer. In the event your 6th grader loses their copy, simply use the above link to download another. This is a great way to get one of the outside band performance requirements completed, as well as to see the fantastic Wando Band perform! Remember to save a program from the performance as this is a required "proof" of attendance that should be attached to the write-up. The Concert Evaluation Form can be found in the forms section of the Cario Bands Website.
Attention 8th grade LCI volunteers, there will be 3 shifts to cover. Each shift runs 2 hours. They are 3:15pm, 5:15pm, and 7:15. You will need to check in at 3:15 to pick up your shift time and your name tag. Your name tag is your VIP pass to come and go as you please for the rest of the day. Please hold on to it. The volunteer check in table is in the small courtyard where the Wando band trailer is unloaded at the old Wando High School (new Moultrie Middle).
Uniforms - Sixth Grade
Thanks to all of you that have ordered your pants from Stagecoach. However, there are a critical few who have not ordered the uniform pants or spoken with Mary Dinda about other arrangements. If you have any questions, please write to Mary Dinda at uniforms@cariobands.org. Please remember, All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students are required to be in uniform. "Students not in full concert attire will not be allowed to perform" (Handbook, pg 8). Please note that these pants are not a standard stock item that are carried daily at Stagecoach. They are a special order item placed one time only by Stagecoach. Substituting a different brand of pants will not be allowed.
Uniforms - Seventh Grade and new Eighth Grade students
The 7th and 8th graders have been fitted for tuxes and dresses and the orders are being placed. If you have not already sent in your payment, please do so. No uniforms will be handed out without payment. No exceptions. If you have any questions, please write to Mary Dinda at uniforms@cariobands.org.

It's that time again. The lollipops will be on sale at the cafeteria Thursday, October 9 and Friday, October 10 during the lunch periods. Watch for some new yummy flavors!
