PARENT AND STUDENTS - Help needed this weekend

ATTENTION ... PARENTS AND STUDENTS ... WE NEED YOUR HELP THIS WEEKEND!

Each June, we have the privilege of working at Hoopfest as a fundraiser for our Marching Band. The majority of the proceeds go directly to cover the costs of our fall competition season, so every student benefits. These funds help us continue putting on a very competitive and entertaining show.

If you and/or your family will be in town this weekend, please join us. Shifts are available for both Saturday and Sunday. For more information, please contact Kay (924-0321). Hope to see you this weekend. Thanks.

2009 FALL SHOW MUSIC REHEARSALS

Parents and new students - PLEASE sign up for the email distribution list. Click on the link at the top of this page to do so!

Beginning this summer and extending in to 2009, we hope to cut down on the use of photocopies to deliver schedules and other information. We would like instead to deliver most announcements, schedules and so forth electronically.

As an inducement to sign up for the band email list, we will be emailing the Summer Schedule to everyone on the email distribution list - rather than posting here. Yes, we are trying to bribe you to join the email list!

Parents (students and friends of the band okay too) - please! - sign up for the email distribution list!

Important - if you are already on the list, then you do not need to sign up again! If you are a graduating senior you are welcome to remain on the list. You can also follow the band on MySpace, Twitter and Facebook (see links at left column).

COMMUNICATION
Communication is the key to our success! Last-minute surprises let down the whole group, so let’s talk early and often … it’s worked in the past and will continue as long as we communicate. Athletes, you can do Band and sports at West Valley High School, and conflicts in schedule can be worked out if given enough notice. I really appreciate each of you and look forward to another award-winning season!
