Marching Band Kickoff Meeting (5/14/2019)
Spotlight on the... PIT CREW
How do those Front Ensemble/Pit instruments get to the front of the field for halftime shows, parent performances and competitions? You guessed it! PARENT VOLUNTEERS! We need 6-9 parents for football games/parent performances and 9 for competitions to efficiently get the instruments where they need to be. We only have 4 people on the committee so far and these parents aren’t expected to make every game/competition. So, we need a LOT more parents on this committee. You don’t have to have a student in Front Ensemble to help and you don’t have to volunteer at every event. And, you don’t have to be a Dad. Moms can help as well! Interested? Pit Crew Description and Responsibilities details what needs to be done for each event. Any questions or to join the PIT Crew, email Troy Curtis at pitcrew@apexhighband.org. 
Band Chairpersons Still Needed!
