Pep Band Sign-ups:   Coming soon!

Mr. D. and Mr. Porter are currently working on a schedule.  When signing up you'll be asked to place a "check" next to the games at which you WILL be present.  You'll be expected to be there for those games.

Middle School Jazz Band:  Sign-ups are currently on the white board.  Please understand that not every student who signs-up is guaranteed participation.  Depending on how many students sign-up, there may need to be a brief try-out for certain (or all) sections.  Practices will be for 45 minutes after school one day per week.  Coaches are generally very receptive to a student coming to their practice 30 minutes late once per week as long as they know they were involved in jazz band!
