Pride Banquet Save the Date - April 26
Save the Date! The Pride Banquet is tentatively scheduled for Friday, April 26th at the Stoney Creek Hotel & Conference Center. Ticket Information will be available soon. This will be an amazing event to celebrate all of the successes of the season. Tickets will go on sale beginning Monday, April 1 at the HS Band Office. Tickets are $50 each (2019 members receive a free ticket with a $0 balance account). The banquet is moving this year to the Stoney Creek Hotel & Conference Center in Broken Arrow. Seating is limited in this venue and tickets sales will end once the first 700 tickets have been purchased (including 2018 Pride members). This will be a great event to celebrate the incredible 2018 season!
Banquet and Account fees!
Banquet is coming up! All Pride members receive a ticket as part of their season fees; however, any student account having a balance due results in that student not receiving their banquet ticket. ALL accounts should now be paid in full. Please check your balances by logging on to www.charmsoffice.com or contact Lisa Good in the band office, lsgood@baschools.org.
