Welcome Back! Here is some information to help you navigate your year. :)
Want to letter in band?
Don’t forget you need volunteer hours!
Some students have asked about the volunteer requirements for earning their letter or chevron in Band. Here are a few ideas that would qualify:
Writing additional letters to middle school or grade school students to encourage band participation. 2 letters count as 1 hour of volunteer credit.
Writing Spotlight content for this newsletter (See Mr. Donnelly, Band Council or Booster President for more detail)
Organizing music in the music library (See Mr. Donnelly)
Helping with wreath organization or distribution (sign up here)
Cleaning and maintenance of jackets, ties and sashes (sign up here)
Fundraising at Happy Valley Tree Lighting 12/8 non-jazz band members only (sign up here)
If you have questions about any of these items or suggestions for other volunteer activities that may be helpful to the band community or represent the band well in our larger community please discuss them with a member of the Band Council or Mr. Donnelly.
