Tips for Parents

Take pictures, LOTS of them.

Remember this phone number: 728-3739 – It is the number for the band room and our information line.  Each week it will be updated with our schedule of events.

Keep and refer to your child's Band Handbook.

Out of consideration for the director and staff, PLEASE be prompt in picking your child up. Pick up will be behind buildings 3 and 4 (the bus loop).

Promptness is expected and required for all practices and performances, so if your child gets upset about being late, believe him/her! If they are "on time", they are considered late! Practice times are standardized.  A calendar is available here on the web site.

You'll hear a lot about each student's "Fair Share", which is a preset dollar amount each student is asked to contribute as his/her portion to pay for bus travel, uniforms, dry cleaning, supplies, charter busses, motels and other expenses incurred during the band season. This fee can be paid directly if preferred, or it can be fundraised.
