WAY TO GO CHARGER BAND!!!! What an incredible first show! We are so proud of you and glad you finally get to see all the hard work pay off. Keep it up as we head into week 2 of Band-tober! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to all the parents that volunteered to make our first contest a success. We couldn’t have done it without you!
We’re headed into another busy week, with a student holiday on Friday. We have adjusted the rehearsal time on Friday to accommodate the student holiday. If you are in need of a ride, please plan ahead so everyone is in attendance.
Here is the schedule for the week:
STUDENTS
Awesome first week! Keep up the good work! We need everyone at every rehearsal so please take care of yourselves, illnesses are going around! Take your vitamins and drink plenty of fluids to prevent illnesses. Any open wounds should be cleaned and covered. Make sure we’re prepared and on time to all rehearsals. Your grade will be affected for any unexcused absences from rehearsals. Reminder to get any outstanding fees turned in so you are eligible for this week’s game. Make sure you are also in the Charger Band Google Classroom:https://classroom.google.com/c/ODcxNDg5Mjg1MjA1?cjc=efgboyo6

If entering on campus before the end of the school day (prior to 4:25), you MUST sign in at the front office
If parking in the band lot, please make sure you have a BAND LOT PARKING PASS from a director or our lead chaperone parent, Adam Martinez. Last year’s passes are not valid.
