Benton High School

We need one parent chaperon to ride each bus to and from Benton High School. We also need several parents to volunteer to stay in the cafeteria to sign students out and just for crowd control and in case a child should need an adult. If you are willing to volunteer please e-mail ggordey@bryantschools.org or sgordey@bryantschools.org

We have five busses going to Benton. Your child has been assigned a bus and they will know by the end of Tuesday April 17th which bus they are assigned. Bus one leaves at 4:15 and all other busses leave at 5:00. If your child doesn’t ride bus one, please make arrangements for them to leave school and be back at 4:50 to get on the bus, this is a change from the notes sent home today. Students who are unable to leave and return by 4:50 may stay at the bandroom until departure time. Students need to understand that they will be required to stay INSIDE the bandroom during this time. All busses should leave Benton High School no later than 8 pm and be back to Bethel Middle School no later than 8:30. I will try to send an e-mail blast when a bus is leaving Benton so you will know it will be at Bethel within 30 minutes.
This is a mandatory event that has been on the calendar since last April. If your would like to pick your child up at Benton after they perform, (highly recommended) please send a signed note to school stating your chlld will not be riding the bus back, please do this prior to Friday.

There is a fee of $2 per event, in most cases that means your child will owe $4. However if your child is ambitious and signed up for more you may owe a litte more A note will come home this week showing what they signed up for.
More information is on the web-site at www.bethelbands.org

All Bethel Band Students are required to participate. We have been working really hard on ensembles and solos in our band classes. Every student in the beginning band will be playing a solo and in an ensemble. All of the concert and symphonic band students are playing in at least one large ensemble, and many have chosen to play in another small group like a duet or a trio or a solo. For each event that a student has entered, the cost is $2.00. This is half of the entry fee – we will be paying the other half from the band’s activity account. Please make check’s payable to Bethel Bands (and include a driver’s license number and phone number pursuant to District policies). Fees are due by Wednesday, April 28th. Your child knows how many events they are scheduled to perform.

We need chaperones! If you are available to come and help supervise our students, please let Mrs. Gordey know. It will be a much better location than last year – we will actually be able to turn around in the hallways, it shouldn’t be extremely hot and it’s a lot closer! The directors will be conducting the large ensembles, and we really need parents to come and help.

Students should wear jeans and their band polo shirts. The judges will be able to see the students, so dress and grooming is important.

Students are required to ride the bus to Benton, but parents may come and get their children when they are finished performing. There will be a clipboard in the cafeteria area for parents to sign their children out. Only the student’s parent may sign them out – unless prior arrangements have been made, in handwriting, to Mrs. Gordey – please, no e-mails or phone calls regarding this matter – this needs to be in writing…at least two days in advance. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Questions? Please contact Mr. or Mrs. Gordey. These students are doing great and we can’t wait to show them off!!!
