NEW Band Management Online System – CHARMS!!
Posted by: | CommentsThe Band is transitioning to an Online Management System called Charms. This system is used by several thousand groups in Texas. The attached document is a small description of the software. We are asking all parents of band and guard students to go into Charms and update your personal information before band registration on August 8. This will help us immensely by cutting down on the time it takes to go through the lines at band registration. Here is the document for your information: NEW Band Management Online System – CHARMS!!
PARENTS OF INCOMING FRESHMAN AND RETURNING STUDENTS
Posted by: | CommentsIf you would like have the ability to assist our Might Mustang Band Game nights and at Contests, think about being a chaperone.
Being a chaperone is a great way to help the band members. As an added bonus you get admission into the games and competitions at no cost and transportation on the bus is free.
If you become a chaperone, please remember that you will need to wear a booster club polo or booster denim shirt to all chaperoned events. You can use last years if you are a returning booster. You can purchase shirts at registration or place an order at band website.
Please come by our booth at band registration on August 8th, 2-5pm.
YOU WILL NEED TO COME TO A CHAPERONE TRAINING MEETING BEFORE YOU CAN CHAPERONE GAMES AND CONTESTS DURING THIS MARCHING SEASON. DATES WILL BE POSTED AT REGISTRATION.

BAND REGISTRATION PAYMENT INFORMATION
Posted by: | CommentsParents of Returning Band Students
Welcome to another exciting year of Mighty Mustang Band! As you have learned, being a part of the band has associated costs and volunteer commitments. The Mustang Band Booster Club (MBBC) raises money through registration fees, sponsorships and various fundraisers allowing our band and color guard students the best opportunity for success! Funding from FISD alone is not enough for the students to accomplish these goals each year.
Your registration fees and participation allow MBBC to support the Mustang Band to be the best in state! This year we are offering you the opportunity to create a payment plan that fits your budget if you do not wish to pay the fees in one payment at registration in August. We have broken down the fees into required and optional items. You can make payments monthly or bi-weekly. All membership fees are due by Band Registration on August 8th.
