WHS Bands 2026-27 - Registration, Syllabus, Band Handbook and more

Hello Wheeler Band Families!

Thank you to everyone that came out and said hello at our Wildcat Day open house last night! We are so excited to see you all on Monday for the beginning of our 2026-27 school year!
As we are finalizing our preparation for the year, if you could, please take a moment and fill out this short form to help us get a quick start next week (this form is most important for new students and incoming 9th graders) -> LINK

On Monday and Tuesday of next week, your students should be coming home with a syllabus for our class that should be signed and returned.  Please go through this thoroughly with your students as to not miss any important details.

If you have not done so already, also head over to our website, Wheelerbands.org, to make sure your family is registered with our booster program! This is also where you will find our band calendar. Lastly, through the registration, you will be asked to review and sign off on our band handbook. This is where you will find almost any information you could need about our program!

This is going to be a fantastic school year! We will see you all soon!
-Mr. Frey & Ms. Jordan

Game day Volunteer Signups!

We are still in need of a few volunteers for this Friday’s (8/7) football scrimmage: Hospitality Volunteers to help distribute CFA dinner to the students before the game and Band Chaperones in the stands.

We have also added volunteer signups for games.

We would love to have chair leads for some of our recurring volunteer needs. Open Chair needs include:

• Chaperone chair(s)
• CFA biscuits
• Hospitality (i.e., feeding the band)
• 8th Grade Night (9/18/26)

If you have an interest in supporting a specific event, we welcome your help!

All volunteer signups can be found once logged in to wheelerbands.org at https://www.wheelerbands.org/volunteerhere.

Volunteers, don’t forget to complete the 3-step County Volunteer Process and take your completed FERFA form & driver’s license by the front Admin office at your earliest convenience. Step-by-step instructions can be found at https://www.wheelerbands.org/ccsdvolunteer.

Any volunteering questions, please reach out to Ina Bachmann at volunteerism@wheelerbands.org.

CFA Biscuits sale - Tuesdays & Fridays starting in August!

Biscuits are back, same price, same location - now on Tuesday and Fridays! You can support the Wheeler Band Program by purchasing a Chick-fil-A biscuit in the Front Lobby or the PAC for $5.

We’d really love to fill all four adult volunteer slots every Tuesday and Friday morning. CFA biscuit sales are a major fundraiser benefiting all of our band programs.  Please look over the volunteer sign-up form at wheelerbands.org, and find a morning or two (or more!) when you can help out. It’s a fun way to spend time interacting with Wheeler students and staff. Veteran volunteers will be on hand to show you the ropes, and they would love to see some new faces!

If you have any questions, please email volunteerism@wheelerbands.org.

Are you ready for some football?

• Band students are expected to sit in the band section for the entirety of the game and will typically have a break during the 3rd quarter to visit the concession stand.

• The band section is for band staff, students, and volunteers only. 

• All Cobb County school stadium facilities have a clear bag policy.

• Tickets to football games can be purchased via Hudl (fan.hudl.com, or the Hudl app).

• Band members and volunteers get into the game for free.

• GHSA rules govern the time allotted for pre-game & halftime festivities, as well as guidelines regarding when the band is permitted to play in the stands.
