COACHING
When you come to practices, you will see a small group of adults coaching our students. Have you heard your students talking about Henry, Ben, J.D., Katie, Sean, Natalie, Ferdie, Damien, Ruben, Sebastian, Ken, Lauren P., Zach, and Lauren M. All are experts in various parts of field shows. Band Boosters pay for the coaches to teach our students how to develop the skills needed for musical and marching success. The district pays for the directors, but NOT for the coaches. Donations from parents, the community, and fundraisers pay for their expertise. Please thank them whenever you can; many long hours go into developing the great program they all create for us to enjoy and please remember that your donations are what make this possible.
TRANSPORTATION
Did you know that last year, we spent over $15,000 alone for buses to transport our band and color guard to our marching tournaments?
Did you know that the district does not provide funding for transportation? All bus costs are paid for by our families and fundraisers.
Thank you so much to all the families that have already donated $150 for transportation fees. It is not too late! Together, we can make sure our children have the opportunity to compete and travel safely to the tournaments.
WATER! Please send in 5 gallons of water like these so that our kids stay hydrated. Thanks so much. Try Costco for a great deal.
