I highly encourage all students to participate either to help with their fundraising requirement/band fees for this year or to prepare for band camp next year. Students will receive 40% of all profits sold onto their account and all of the money will go towards purchasing new music stands for the band room.

You do not have to have any prior experience to attend auditions. If you are interested see Mr.Rogers in the band room for details.
  • The Band Auxiliary Line will be having an informational meeting on Thursday April 17th From 5:00pm-6:00pm for any 8th-12th grade students interested in participating in the color guard or majorette line for next year.
