Communications Officer Needed for Upcoming 2021-22 Band Season Do you enjoy being "in the know"? Do you like to be a part of things? We still need a Communications Officer for the 2021-22 Band Booster Board. Did you know that we have 3 YEARS OF PAST EMAIL BLASTS on the Apex High Band Website to get you started?!! And, the current Communications Officer (Karen Hyre) will be around to help with the transition. And you might find comfort knowing that Mr. Jarvis and the President always review the blasts for accuracy before they go out. We know a board position can sound scary and time-consuming, but our past board members have paved the way and made it easy! We promise! Don't be afraid! Contact Catherine, Peggy or Tom at nominations@apexhighband.org and learn how you can be an important part of our '21-'22 Band Year!! Want to Learn More About Volunteering? A list of all board positions and responsibilities can be found HERE. If you'd like more information on any of the positions, contact information for the current board members can be found on the Committee Contacts page on the band website. Don’t know which position would be best for you? The nominating committee can help find a good fit for you! Volunteer Registration

Do you work at Cisco??
Did you know that Cisco matches $10 for every hour you volunteer and you can direct that money to go to AHS Band?!! Aurora Comanescu’s 69 volunteer hours gave the Band Program $690! Thank you Aurora!! There are some steps you need to take to direct this money to the band program. If you are a Cisco employee and have any questions, contact Aurora at acomanes@gmail.com.
