Every student's attendance is vital in order to have a full sounding group in anything we do. Things that are put in as a grade may include class participation, concert attendance with the correct concert attire and participation, after-school rehearsals, and clinics. Concert and Symphonic band are CO-curricular, meaning that all concert band and symphonic band activities are connected to the class.  

More information about dues is located in the TAKE THE FIELD! tab regarding marching band, and TAKE THE STAGE! for our stage-performing bands.

Parents are welcome to come support their child at every event- concerts, games, parades, etc. Parents are also encouraged to join the band booster, helping to raise and manage money in order to fund the band. Lastly, parents are asked to attend the band parent meetings once a month for discussions, updates, and future events (available on team meetings and in person).
