Spring Trip Eligibility Information

This week, students were given their personalized eligibility information and payments due for the fine arts spring trip to Typhoon Texas in Austin on Saturday, May 13. The blank version of this form can be found by clicking here. Program trips are an earned privilege, and a student may be disqualified from attending a trip based on grades, attendance, or discipline. All forms, fees, fines, and payments are due no later than Friday, April 14 at 4pm. This is a hard deadline. Even if a student does not owe any money for the trip, they must turn in this intention form so we can order enough tickets, order the correct number of buses, etc. Please email Mr. Pulley if you have any questions about the spring trip.

M100 Reverse Raffle & Dinner

The following message is from the Belton HS M100 Band Boosters:

We are excited to meet and want to invite the future M100 Marching Band parents to our 2023 Reverse Raffle and Dinner! The Belton Band Boosters of the Marching 100 work hard each year to provide quality experiences for our band students. This primary fundraiser and yearly celebration will raise funds to help provide equipment, uniforms, and instrument fees and help our band students experience spring trips. We also use funds to supplement deserving students to afford private lessons. In addition, we provide scholarships for continuing students’ band careers (both in the summer and for college). Parents play an important role and are vital to the Boosters’ success.

This adult-only event will be held at the Cultural Activities Center in Temple on Saturday, April 22. Registration will begin at 6:00pm, with dinner at 6:30pm and First Draw at 7:00pm. Each ticket is $150 for 2 guests and will include dinner and entertainment. If you wish to purchase a ticket, please contact Ashley Boland via m100fundraiser@gmail.com or 214-517-7187. You are welcome to purchase more than one raffle ticket. Even if you are unable to attend, you are still welcome to purchase raffle tickets.

We appreciate your support in the band program as we push our students to be their best as players, students, and people. We hope your enthusiasm for this program will increase throughout our 2023-2024 season, particularly for this event. So grab a group of friends or parents (tables of 8) and join us for a fun night, as 100% of the proceeds raised will benefit our band kids!

Students will report to the Band Hall at the start of school during 1st period at 8:10am. Students will miss 1st-5th period that day, and will need to make up any missed school work. This will not count against their attendance in school.

Wind Ensemble: Please click here to find our itinerary for next Wednesday’s UIL Concert & Sightreading Evaluation at Lake Belton HS. Students will report to 4th period like usual and then we will feed them Lunch in the Band Hall for free. They will then have time to change into their formal uniform, which is black pants, black belt for gentlemen, black calf-length socks, and black dress shoes. Students will miss their 4th-7th period that day, and will need to make up any missed school work. This will not count against their attendance in school.

Friends and family are welcome to attend this public performance, which is our biggest group contest of the year! Think of this as the Band equivalent to the STAAR test. We need parent chaperones for this event, so please email Mr. Pulley if you can help out that day. We will even provide you Lunch that day for free!

Thank you for your support, and reply to this message with any questions you may have. Best Wishes to both groups as we prepare to compete at UIL!
