Band Parents Welcome!!
Welcome Band Parents! I am so happy for you to be visiting this site. As I know being a parent can be incredibly stressful, I hope this website will be of assistance for your child's success. Here we have multiple resources for you including: our monthly Newsletters, the Master Schedule, instrument practice assistance, district links, information on renting vs. buying, fundraising, and the ability to sign up for text message notifications!
Newsletters
Newsletters will be sent out at the first of each month . For ease of access to the Newsletters, you may access them by selecting the month you wish to view. Some of the buttons will not be active until that month's newsletter has been released. If you feel that there is an error, please let me know through the contact form at the home page.

Having trouble and want to help your student practice but don't know where to start?
When a child struggles with success, we want to help them succeed but we may not know where to start. If your child is struggling, and you want to help them but may not know how, please go to the resources tab and select that student's instrument. I have compiled many different kinds of websites, articles, and listening examples to choose from in your student's quest for a quality sound. Please don't hesitate to get in contact with me should you need it, as that's what I'm here for. For more detailed information on practicing itself, you can go straight to the Resource tab. I have many helpful items of just how to organize this whole "practicing" thing.

Join our BAND messaging system!
This year we will be trying a new messaging system where you can get all the important notifications, event schedules, and more through the BAND app! No more losing/missing emails, handouts, flyers, or text messages. We all know that students are not always reliable as to bringing home information, flyers, letters, or handouts because the backpack eats them. Through our BAND app you can now get every piece of communication sent home without the hassle of having to dig through your emails or phone. Joining is completely optional, but for the Band parent/guardian who wants to keep track of everything or simply wants a better way, I encourage you to join our BAND!
