Officers:
The Russellville Band Parent
Organization is a group of highly organized, and motivated
parents whose main purpose is to further the interests of the band
program by serving to promote, develop, support, and finance
instrumental groups of high quality and musical excellence.
Their importance and influence cannot be overstated. Without
this group, the Russellville Band could not attain the levels of
success that have become a longstanding school and community
tradition.
Membership and
Meetings:
Every parent/guardian who has a child
in the Russellville Band Program is considered an active
member. Parents of children who have graduated can be
considered for continuing membership with the approval of the
executive committee. There is a $10.00 printing fee per family
that is paid during band camp. This fee covers the purchase of
the band parent handbook.
The Band Parents will meet on the
second Tuesday of each month excluding the months of January and
May. The meetings will begin at 6:30 pm promptly and
usually last no more than 1 hour. No business may be
transacted by members except during a properly held meeting.
Additional band parent meetings may be called by the executive
committee as needed.
Medical Team:
It is the
purpose of the Marching Hundred Medical staff to provide any medical
assistance that your child might require. For more information
and to download the required forms, please visit our Medical Information page.

Executive
Committee
This committee is
comprised of elected officers according the to By-Laws, Article
X: The Executive Committee shall be composed of the
elected officers of the association and the band directors.
This committee shall meet at 6:00PM prior to the regular band parent
meeting with the purpose of forming an agenda of topics that will be
discussed by the band parent
body.
Purchasing
Items purchased on
behalf of the Band Parent Organization must have prior approval from
the band director. A state approved Purchase Order Number will
be assigned only by the band director and must show the signature of
either principal Rex Mayfield or assistant principal Donnie
Davis. Any band parent who makes a purchase without prior
approval will not be reimbursed by Russellville City Schools
for their expenses.
Travel
Parents who wish to
serve as a chaperone on the bus for an away game, performance, trip,
or some other even must contact the Chaperone Chairperson at least 2
weeks in advance for consideration. Due to their experience,
Senior and Junior parents are afforded first consideration in the
decision making process. Availability of space is another
factor.
V-Net
Messages
As a band parent, you
will receive several V-net messages from the president during the
school year via your telephone. These voice recorded
messages will be sent to inform you of any changes in schedule or
previously unannounced events that require your assistance.
This service is a great information resource. It is extremely
important that we have an updated telephone number whereby you can
be reached. If your number changes, please email Mr. Crummie
with the new number.
Band Parent
Shirt
The Band Parent shirt is
a red polo style-shirt with the band logo on the left front
area. These shirts serve an important function in that they
help to identify parents for free admission when working at the
concession stand or chaperoning the band in the home stands or on an
away game. They also help our band members to identify you in
a large crowd of people if an emergency should arise. These
shirts may be purchased from an executive committee member at a cost
of $20.00.
