Parents and students,
I hope everyone has had a great summer so far! Here’s some helpful info and reminders as we start ramping up for 2026-2027. Probably the most important 2 things are listed under ‘UPDATES from the Directors’ – 1. Band Camp at a Glance & 2. Order Bandwear by July 17.
Another item of importance is the Band Member Registration form that was due on June 1st. Please fill it out if you have not (students only). As of today, only 128 people have filled it out and with rosters unavailable on Infinite Campus, this is the only means of emailing you hence the additional posting on Slack, Facebook, and website of this update. Please take a look and see if you’re there (if you didn’t get the email, that’s a pretty good sign). FYI, parents have this email if their son/daughter registered and entered contact info for you. REGISTRATION AS OF JULY 10. Weekly Announcements (originally sent in May) SUMMER 26 Announcements *Woodwind Day moved to July 21st highlighted in blue
