Show shirts, polos, etc.
We have started taking up orders for show shirts, band polos and band caps. IMPORTANT – your student’s show shirt, dry fit shirt and band polo are provided by the band. This order is for parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, etc. We already have several orders from last night. We will keep this order open through Sunday, August 15th. The order will be turned in early Monday morning.
Online orders – We have added the option of ordering and paying online at https://muscleshoalscityal.csiepay.com/. This is the same site where you pay fees for your student. Choose Muscle Shoals High School and then choose Band Boosters. You will see the menu I have included in the image below. You can choose band hat (cap), show shirt with your chosen size(s), stadium blanket (red and black plaid with our band logo), and Men or Women’s polo. This will be the most convenient way to order and pay. We do have some stadium blankets and band caps in stock. The show shirts and polos will need to be ordered.
All other orders – We will also take your orders if you wish to pay in person. You can pay us at the lower concession stand during our first game vs Deshler next Thursday. Please email your orders to melissa.medlin@gmail.com or ttrousdale@firstmetro.net if you are not ordering online.
DEADLINE FOR ORDERING IS THIS SUNDAY, AUGUST 15TH. ORDER WILL BE TURNED IN FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING!
If you are buying a blanket or band cap, we will have these at the lower concession stand for you to pick up at our first game vs. Deshler. If we get more orders than we have on hand, we can order more.
