Pep band is an optional, co-curricular band that meets outside of school hours. This is the band that plays at sporting events throughout the year. We will have our first, crash-course rehearsal next week Monday, September 13 and Tuesday, September 14 after school from 3:15 pm to 4:15 pm. Students are welcome to attend both, either, or if they can’t make it but want to participate in the band, just look over the music and join us when they can. This band includes students from grades 9 to grades 12. If your student is interested in earning a letter in band, this is the ensemble to do it. We will have 4 events this fall, 8 in the winter, and possibly 2 more in the spring. To earn a letter, we’d want students to make 8 or 9 events (we will confirm this once the complete schedule is finalized with the Activities Office). We will likely add regular rehearsals during some Laker Times and will announce them in your student’s class and schoology. Additionally, here is what we know for events this fall.
