Marching Band 2019-20
Also see: Calendar | MB Checklist | MB News | Competition Results & Videos 
Marching Band Calendars Marching Band Calendars are $15/each and must be reserved by November 22. To help us order the right quantity, we’re doing this a little differently this year. In previous years, we ordered the calendars, then sold them at the concerts. First come, first served. We either ordered too many and couldn’t sell them or didn’t order enough (like last year) and had to place another order. This year, you can RESERVE a Marching Band Calendar for yourself or as a gift for a family member. You’ll PICK UP and PAY for the calendars at one of the December concerts (12/12, 12/16) or the Marching Band Banquet (12/13). (More details here.) The photo at the top is the cover of the calendar and each month showcases a Section: Flutes, Clarinets, Alto Saxes, T&B's, Trumpets, Mellophones, Baritones, Sousaphones, Drumline/Front Ensemble, Visual Ensemble, Props Kids. Yes, you are reserving your calendar without seeing the rest of the pics, but most parents/students purchase the calendar without looking at the pics inside anyway. We will purchase a few extras for those who want to review before purchasing, but just a few. 
Mr. Jarvis' New "Remind 101" - PARENTS PLEASE JOIN NOW!!
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. 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. 
NEW Alumni Blast for PARENTS and GRADUATES!
Parents & Alumni: We’d love for you to continue joining us for concerts, competitions and special events and we want to keep you informed of our fundraisers so you can continue to get your GoPlaySave, Fruit and more. Maybe you can join us for a Spirit Night or even paint with us at Pinot’s Palette. Sign up at http://bit.ly/AHSBandAlumniBlast so we can keep in touch! |
