Text Box: Band Parents This year we will have a Band Booster meeting and Uniform fitting on Thursday August 6th, at 6:30 p.m. This allows parents that work an opportunity to come and see what its all about, ask questions, pay fees, and do not have to “take off”  work to do it. If you missed the end of the year meeting this will get you “caught up”.
