WHAT’S HAPPENING?

New Parents!!!

Join us for Parent Band Camp 101 as our Boosters go over expectations for the coming season. Learn from seasoned parents, meet new friends, and bring all of your questions!

Band Camp Help!

We are in need of parent volunteers to help keep our students safe and healthy during band camp. Volunteers may sit (in the shade) for their shift and pass out hydration, cold packs, and cool treats as needed, as well as assist the band directors with minor medical incidents that may occur. It’s a great chance to watch your student practice and get to know our band family!

WE NEED YOU! The success of our band program is dependent on our amazing team of volunteers! It truly takes a village to make the magic happen. We have a spot for all levels of interest, time and skill and we hope you’ll join us this season!

Needs:

Are you looking for ways to cover your band fees? We are currently building our Concessions Management team for the 26-27 athletic calendar. If you would be interested in a manager position in one of our concession stands, please contact AJ Sanchez. No experience necessary!

We are also building our Photography team. If you are interested in helping photograph our students at games, contests, or rehearsals for our yearbook, please contact Christina Trinkle.
