Hospitality Volunteers Needed
If you have applied for (and received) volunteer status and would like to help with feeding the students on game days (right after school starting at 4:30pm), please contact Susan Cameron as soon as possible as our first game is only two days away.
Photo Release Form
All students need to turn in photo release forms (if you did not fill one out at Registration). The form is here. Without this form, your photos cannot be posted on the band website.
If you do not choose to sign the release, you should send an email to that effect to Mr. Nuñez so that he can inform the Booster photography team and the Webmaster.
Do Not Pick Up Students Behind School
Please DO NOT pick up your students behind the school after marching rehearsal.
Please wait in the south parking lot (near the Auditorium) and have your student walk to meet you.
Traffic is becoming a safety issue. If you do not have a pre-approved medical reason to pick your child up behind the school, please help us with parking in the south lot.
