Communication
Mr. Bingen will use two forms of communication to disseminate information to band parents:
"Remind" app for shorter messages
Email distribution for longer/detailed messages
Remind.com
For quick text/email reminders and announcements (140 character limit)
Parents can choose whether to receive messages via text, email, or through the mobile app
Visit Remind.com to create an account, download the app, and manage your notification preferences
Parents can self-signup by texting the group code to 81010
2023-24 Beginning Band Code: "@crbband23
2023-24 Advanced Band Code: "@craband23
Email
For more lengthy emails with detailed information
I will use "Mailchimp" for composing longer emails with detailed information that won't fit within the 140 character limit of Remind.com. Please be sure to add "sbingen@gmail.com" to your email contacts or safe senders list so that these messages don't get filtered as SPAM. These messages will be distributed to your existing email address - no further action required on your part.
