Parking Lot Safety
For the safety of students and staff, please wait in a parking stall until practice is over. For safety reasons, we cannot have cars lined up blocking the driveway. Thank you for your understanding!
Congrats Jazz Band!
This past Sunday, Jazz 1 had their first performance of the year at the Portuguese Hall in Artesia. They sounded great, and it was so fun to have a performance so early in the year! Last year, they didn’t get to play a show until the winter concert. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen!
Show Shirts
Extra show shirts will be available to purchase on Thursday 9/26 at the end of band practice. Please bring cash or check.

Fireworks Coordinator Needed
This year we are looking for a fireworks coordinator. It's a great opportunity to get more involved in our program! We're looking for a reliable parent who is willing to run our 2025 fireworks stand. If you are interested, please let us know, and we would be happy to get you more information about this position.
Athletic Clearance
If you have not completed your athletic clearance yet, you must do it ASAP!
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.
