The band will march at several home varsity football games in the fall (mandatory). On those nights, after school rehearsals are shortened. Students are released to get a bite to eat, then report back to school (usually between 5:00- 6:00).

Please schedule appointments around these practices and performances. If you do have a medical emergency, please contact one of the Directors ASAP to let them know your student will be missing.

Attendance is mandatory for every practice and every performance
throughout the year. This is inclusive of all activities.
