We ask that if at all possible parents make use of the online fee payment option to help speed up the process on the day of registration. To new families: Ms Snead lets the students leave to complete registration but asks that they return as quick as possible to band camp, or they could also register during the lunch break, or for soph./fresh. after band camp.

A thank you message to all band members:
Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your tribute to my daughter Kelsey during your show at the game. I was stunned that another school cared enough to do that and it meant a great deal to me. I stayed and watched the entire show after the game and then tried to individually thank as many members of the band as I could but I was not able to speak to each one. I would appreciate it if you would relay how much I appreciate the efforts of you and your band. It meant so much to me. Kindest Regards, Greg -- Greg Smith President Kelsey Smith Foundation, Inc. P.O Box 40393 Overland Park, KS 66204-0393 www.kelseysarmy.com
