Summer To-Do List and Fireworks Fundraiser
Student Information
EVERYONE! Yes, EVERYONE! Please take a minute and fill out this form. We have a number from new freshmen, but filling it out a second time won’t hurt anyone. We need new, up-to-date information for everyone. Please take 3 minutes and make sure we have your current information.
Volunteers Needed!
As we kick off the new year, we are in need of volunteers! It truly takes a village to run a successful program. Even if you can only help a little, let us know and we can find something that works for you. Thank you in advance for supporting your students!

Athletic Clearance
Each year, students need to complete a physical and athletic clearance packet for the school. This paperwork needs to be done BEFORE band camp, and turned in to the school. This does not come to the band program! Below you will find a link to the Athletic Clearance packet, the Physical Examination form, and a link to a local doctor who provides physicals for $25 and has worked with some of our students in the past.

Communication
As we are getting rolling this year, more and more information will be going out. I will begin posting weekly updates on our website, and will send a link to the updates via email.
A few things to note:
The Band app is not a monitored communication avenue. We have the Band app to send our last minute updates and information changes. (Ex.: We are headed home from a competition and there is an accident on the freeway. Our arrival time will be significantly different. We will send out an update via Band app to notify parents of the change.) Please do not try to contact Mr. Westphal via Band app.
If you have a question about something in an email update, please do not reply to the email. Those emails go to a mailing list of almost 500 people. Inevitable a few bounce back. When people start replying to the emails, the threads get very messy. Please start a new email thread and send it to Mr. Westphal. Chances that a reply to the mailing list emails gets missed are excellent.
Calendar
This year’s calendar continues to be updated. Many of the events will will participate in this year are already on the calendar, but please note that the calendar is still tentative and subject to change. You can view it here.

We are excited to be bringing back our Fireworks Booth Fundraiser! This is a huge fundraiser for us, and can help you raise money to offset your Fall Season donation!
