Marching Band Council Fundraiser

2021-08-26T13:09:22-07:00

Dear Parents, I apologize for the short notice. Our band council (student club) has struggled to get moving this school year but I think we are finally going to see forward progress. The band council has been working for more than two weeks to get a location for a club sponsored car wash to raise money for our field props. Our props this year cost between $3500-$4000, this is a huge investment for the show. Today the band council printed and passed out car wash tickets for this Saturday, August 28th. We are asking each student to sell at least 4 tickets at $5 each for a total [...]

Students also have their three ring black binder, this is great! Students need to continue to develop regular practice habits. Please have your child designate a set time everyday to practice for 20-30 minutes on scales and music. Many of our students have instruments that are in need of being serviced by a music store. Just like a car needs an oil change your child's instrument needs a regular tune up to help it work at [...]
