Welcome to the Schilling Farms Band’s Web pages.

The SFMS Band uses an online service called “Charms”.  It is a very useful service for the band director and parents alike.  It allows the director to send mass emails, automated phone messaging, as well as keep contact info for all the band families.  It allows the SFMS Band Booster Club to keep financial records including band fees, grocery rebate records, and trip payments info.   It allows band students and parents to access all of this information including the SFMS Band Calendar of Events and Band News and Announcements.   Parents can even download permission slips and check their band activity fee status as well as edit their contact info when changes are necessary.   We hope you will use this site to help the Band Director and the SFMS Band Booster Club communicate with you in a timely and accurate way.  Please feel free to contact the Band Director, Ron Turner at r1turner@scsk12.org   Thank you for your support!
