Let the New School Year Begin

Thank you to all the parents that were able to attend the Parent Information Meeting last Friday evening!  It was great seeing everyone again and to see new faces as we start another great year.   We had great performances by the Color Guard, Battery, and the Marching Band (new show music).

If you were unable to attend the information meeting, you can access and download the new  2024-25 Band Parent Handbook_v1  as well as get information about the Student Payment and Student Fees for this year 

As the year progresses the Boosters will provide communications about Volunteer Opportunities (for upcoming events).   Please bookmark and visit this site often to help stay informed of all Booster activities.

Also, all Boosters (parents) are welcome (and encouraged) to attend our monthly Booster Board Meetings.  This is our primary planning meeting where we discuss and coordinate Booster activities to support the Marching Band in the upcoming weeks.   We always need volunteer assistance and we look forward to getting to know and work with all our Boosters.
