How can I register for the band and pay my child’s band fees?

Use the link below to do both.

I am new to the high school band experience. Is there a guide for me?

Yes, there is. Click below to download our ‘23-’24 Parent Guide created for you.

How can I stay up to date on what’s going on?

We send out a weekly newsletter packed with important information – things like what time to show up, what particular show shirt your student should wear, estimated return times to the band hall, volunteer opportunities, and more!

Please make sure you are on our email list!  To subscribe, hit the button below to sign up.  Add your name and the email address where you want to receive the newsletter.

Is there a calendar of events?

The directors use Charms Office to track all rehearsals, football games, concerts, competitions, etc. You can use the link at the top of the page to see it. It’s helpful to ‘sync’ the Charms calendar to your device. You will receive the school code when your student starts summer band.

How can I get more involved?

They say it takes a village…but in reality, it takes an army of volunteers to make your student’s band experience run smoothly.  The Ridge Point Band Boosters is the organization dedicated to making it happen. We highly encourage all parents to attend band booster meetings, sign up for the newsletter, and volunteer at events throughout the year.

Should I go to football games (even if I’m not a fan) and contests?

Absolutely!  Even if you’re not into the football game, the kids really appreciate people cheering for them when they perform. In fact, many RP Band and Guard parents sit in a group by the band and form our own cheering section.

At contests, look for other RP Band and Guard parents and sit with them, even if you don’t know them. It makes for a bigger cheering section, and the kids love seeing a group of purple from the field.

And don’t forget to cheer for the other bands, too. We support all fine arts in FBISD and all other districts. Show your appreciation for the hard work of other students, just as you’d like other parents to appreciate the hard work of the RP Band and Guard.

How can my child and I take care of the marching uniform?

They look pretty, but don’t worry – the band uniforms are made to stand up to washing machines, so long as you follow some simple steps.  We’ve listed the care guide from the uniform manufacturer, Fred J. Miller, Inc. Click below for more information.

What if my child forgets or loses an item for their uniform, like socks or shorts?

We keep a limited stock of various items for those times the students forget or lose things—it happens more times than you realize! The student needs to see the Uniform Manager to request the item. Please note, we charge replacement fees that are added to the student’s account. Click below to see the price list.
