Happy Tuesday, Foothill Band Program Alums!
It has been some time since my last update to you, and I wanted to share some news and the great things the Foothill Bands have been doing.
State of the Program
Like many of you, we are still shocked by the news regarding Mr. Hinojosa. With the help of Mr. Aqualina and Mr. Butterfield, Rik Nishimori has guided our musicians with the skill, confidence, and consistency our musicians need. Many thanks to all the parents that have stepped up and continue to support the kids, Mr. Nishimori, and the music program. The students continue to grow and successfully represent our program, our school, and our community.
Campana Jazz Festival
Jazz A and Jazz B performed at the Campana Jazz festival. They received some incredible feedback and recognition from the judges. Along with some excellent solo performances, the Jazz program continues to grow this year.
Winter Guard
The 2023 Winter Guard season is in full swing under the guidance of Nick Deunas and alumna Kristina Laduca! Very proud of the progress they are making, heading toward Champs in April
Winter Percussion
This season for Winter Percussion is progressing well, also. We have a huge doubleheader on March 18th at Granada AND James Logan, setting up a performance at our home show on March 25th.
Foothill Winter Show
Our Winter Show will be hosted at AVHS due to a couple conflicts at FHS this year. We’ll be starting at 9a and going until 6p. We definitely need your help this year! Please give this Sign-Up Genius a review and find a shift where you can help.

Come out and enjoy the performances and cheer on FHS. Everyone will need to purchase a wristband for entry into the Winter Show. PURCHASE YOUR TICKET HERE, show your receipt at the ticket table to pick up your wristbands.
Pre-2009 Uniform Jacket Giveaway
With our new uniforms coming in soon, we continue to clear out the uniform room to make way for these new uniforms. Please let me know if you still want a band jacket worn before the 2009 season.
I appreciate you reading this email, and I look forward to seeing you at your Winter Show on 3/25 at AVHS.
With gratitude,
– Rob Reyes
