CHARMS is a new software package purchased by the Fannin County
Band Booster Club to make communication easier.  After some initial work,
this site will provide a level of parent and student communication that is
organized, up-to-date, and easy to use.   New bulletins are available the minute
parents login.  Every parent or student in our band will eventually be able to
access the calendar, print handouts, check on finances, pay for fees and trips
online, maintain practice logs, record auditions and tests, maintain your own
name, address, phone, email address, etc.   Parents can also see whether that
permission slip, health form, or a handout acknowledgement actually made it back
to the office.   Here is how to get started:

1)  Log onto www.charmsoffice.com.
2)  In the Parent/Student Login type: FCBand
3)  In the Password, it's your student ID.  See Mr. Barnstead if you do not know
what that number is.  You will reset this number once you get in.
4)  On the far right, click password.   Make it something you can remember.
5)  Then Click Student Info, and please correct and update.
