Hello Spartan Regiment Family!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Everyone who contributed to the WGI Contest yesterday did a wonderful job. After a year off, the Spartan Regiment family sprung back into action to make sure one of our largest fundraisers was a success. I, personally, received several different comments from visiting directors and parents saying the Centennial people were very nice, helpful, and respectful. Great job!
Also, one more shout out to Mr. Klein for his organization of this huge event. There were A LOT of complicated parts to this contest. Thank you!!

Our WGI Contest Fundraiser we host is an ALL DAY contest and requires all PARENTS & STUDENTS to pitch in and work at least 1 shift and/or donate food for volunteers. Please see below for the Sign-Up Genius volunteer sign up. This is a huge fundraiser ($25k) for the band boosters and supports the entire band, not just guard/drumline so we need everyone to help out to make it a success!

GRADES! It is very important to stay on top of your grades from the BEGINNING! Turn in your assignments ON TIME and study for tests. Go to tutorials to get help. We need 100% of our Spartan Regiment to pass ALL of their classes. We prefer afternoon tutorials, but if the teacher only offers morning tutorials students are expected to attend morning rehearsal and then are dismissed at 8:05am to attend the 8:10am tutorial. Teacher must send Mr. Klein & Mr. Smith an email to confirm tutorial attendance.
Supply Checks are pass or fail, so if you are missing 1 item it is a zero. Students can bring items later for full credit before the end of the six weeks grading period. We do have supplies available for purchase in the band office (please have exact change).
Band Fees - PAST DUE
It's important to stay on track with the band fees. We purchase a lot of items for the students & pay for marching techs, colorguard techs, percussion techs, & masterclass teachers. Most of the money is spent in August. If you need a different financial arrangement than the $125 per month please email Mr. Klein. ALL payments must be made online through CutTime.
