Tuesday night we will be holding our January Booster Meeting in the band room. We will be discussing the upcoming Indoor season, so if your student is a part of that, please plan to attend. We look forward to seeing everyone again!
Indoor Drumline is having a spirit night at the Chipotle on Cobb Pkwy in Acworth on Monday, January 15th from 5-9pm. You must say you are with the North Paulding Band at the register to be counted as part of the fundraiser. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the Indoor Drumline fund.
Chipotle address: 3359 Cobb Pkwy NW, Acworth, GA 30101
Mark your calendars and make plans to get dinner from Chipotle! Thank you for supporting the Indoor Drumline program!
Thursday, November 30, the North Paulding Band Program will present its second concert of the year! As noted in the syllabus, each ensemble is a performance based class that utilizes public performances as part of the learning process. All rehearsals and performances are equated into the nine-week grade for each semester. We are super excited with the progress that the students have made so far this semester and look forward to celebrating with a great night of music. The show starts at 7:00 pm.
Below, please find information related to each specific ensemble. Part of the process is arriving on time, in the correct uniform, and consistently displaying a high level of concert etiquette throughout the entire evening. Students will not be permitted to perform if they are not in the correct attire. Students sit in the side section on Stage Right (closest to the band room) during the concert and will be monitored by chaperones. Students are to be in the auditorium once their band is done, pay attention to the concert, and remain quiet while in the audience. Students will not use their phones, talk, or cause any distractions during a performance. Failure to follow this etiquette will result in removal from the concert and a grade of 0 for the concert.
Students are required to stay through to the end of the concert. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of the concert and at the end. Being tardy for the first attendance will reduce your grade. Not being present for the student’s portion of the concert or attendance at the end of the concert will result in a 0 for the concert. Not being present for the final attendance will reduce your grade.
Please contact the band office if you have any questions.

The Dallas Christmas parade is this Saturday, December 2nd. We are looking forward to a very fun day! There are a lot of details below. Please be sure to read them ahead of time so that you know where you are going and your student is on time. The addresses have been linked to Google Maps and there are helpful maps at the bottom of this post to assist you.
Percussion and Tubas – These sections ONLY will need to meet at the band room at 9:30AM on Saturday to load instruments on the trailer. Once that is done, they will need transportation to the parade.
Schedule for the day:
Meeting Location (unload, change, warmup, etc)
Paulding County School District Transportation Department: 522 Hardee St #4715, Dallas, GA 30132
Drop Off Instructions
11:00 am – 11:15 am (please do your best to fit this schedule, all bands are having to use this road)
Parents will need to use Highway 61 and turn onto Henry Holland Drive. (See first photo below)
A police officer and Rotarian will be stationed at the entrance, you will need to have the band logo Dashboard Tag visible to enter that road. These will be distributed to the students so be sure to ask them for it.
Drive to where Henry Holland Drive meets Main Street, let students out, then U-turn and exit back onto 61 from Henry Holland Drive.
Students cannot be dropped off at this location after 12:00, I suggest dropping off at Belong Church or in downtown Dallas and walking (quickly) to the location.
Parking
Parking is available at Belong Church (formerly Oasis) and at public parking in downtown Dallas.
If you park at Belong Church, walk up Academy Drive, then turn right down Main Street, the Holding Area will be on the left. After the parade, those of you parked here will walk the parade route together to get back to the church.
If you park in the parade parking at the end of the parade, walk down Main Street, the parade route, to get to the Holding Area. It will be on the left.
Restrooms/Weather Shelter
Dallas Elementary School: 520 Hardee St #4713, Dallas, GA 30132
Parade Start Location
Intersection of Academy Drive and Main Street
Parade Trailer Load/Pickup Area
Band will de-uniform and load trailer at the intersection of W Griffin Street and Hood Street.
Students will be dismissed after their uniform and instrument are loaded.
Recommended pickup between South Street and Hood Street, make sure your car is headed towards Dallas, not away from it (so your student doesn’t need to cross the street).
Order of Bands
Who likes cookies? Personally, I’m a huge fan. This is YOUR CHANCE to sell some COOKIE DOUGH to get some DOUGH in your band account! ALL band and guard students can participate in these Indoor Drumline fundraisers too! Add to your student account while helping the Indoor Drumline program at the same time.
This fundraiser is a very similar format to the Socksgiving fundraiser (which is still going on, BTW). Here are some key details…
Cookie dough sells well and Mrs. Fields is one of the best! Get out there and get that DOUGH!
Fundraiser set-up instructions
Fundraiser Flyer – When the QR code on this flyer is scanned, it will take them to the main fundraiser page and they can select your student’s name from a drop down menu. You must register for the fundraiser first in order to display in the student dropdown. (See link in bulleted items above to register.)
$8 per cookie pack sold comes back to the Band. Of that $8, $5 will be credited to your student band account and $3 will go to the Indoor Drumline fund.
