Evening parents!
We have another exciting event to host in March! It is our Winter Percussion and Winter Guard home show hosted at AVHS. This is our second year hosting it at AVHS because there is a large track meet at Foothill all day, thus resulting in being displaced that day.
Winter Show is a significantly scaled-back version of Band Review. It is scheduled to tentatively run from 1p to 9p. Depending on the schedule the directors and NCBA build out, that may be shortened. There are only two performance groups: Percussion and Guard. Nine (9) schools are participating in the percussion show, and 20 are in the Guard show. There is still a lot to prepare for, but I’m confident we can make a fantastic show happen for all the schools visiting us at the end of March.
This show is also a fundraiser for the entire Music Program. I ask that all parents from all ensembles sign up and volunteer to make this Winter Show a blast.
This email contains a ton of information, so please read through it all, as we need your help!

Sign Up Genius – Timing

Fundraising – Trophy Sponsorships and More
Trophy sponsorships are available this year! We will send out an email and form you can fill out to help sponsor a trophy. We only have 26 trophies to give out during the Winter Show, so please get your sponsorship early! We also ask that everyone see if any additional family members would be interested in sponsoring a trophy. Also, would you know of any local businesses interested in sponsoring a trophy? In that case, we’ll announce their name at the show and put them on our sponsorship page on our website.
