The prices are competitive on USDA Choice or higher grade meat and seafood. Spread the word to friends and neighbors and get those freezer bags ready because you are going to want to stock up.
Mandatory Parents Meeting
We will host a Mandatory Parent Meeting for all parents and students that will be involved with the Foothill Instrumental Music Program next school year. We will discuss important program updates and allow our parents to learn more about our program’s vision. Our incoming freshman students and parents will be joining us! This will include information for all ensembles, including Orchestra, Jazz, Band/Marching Band, and Color Guard. Meeting will be held at Foothill’s MPR on Tuesday April 23rd at 7:00pm! We look forward to seeing you all there and building our supportive community!
Instrumental Music Yearbook
As the school year is winding down, it’s time to order this year’s band yearbook. This yearbook is separate from the school yearbook; it’s focused only on the instrumental music department. This is a wonderful way to remember the good times you’ve had while in the program. For seniors, it’s a special way to remember your last year. It’s also a nice gift for grandparents and other relatives.
Please purchase your 2023-24 Instrumental Music yearbook here by April 30. If you want to pay with a check, use this pdf order form. We plan to have them distributed by the end of May.
If you are not sure if you already ordered the yearbook, please check your futurefund receipt email or reach out to treasurer.student@foothillmusic.org
