Northern Bands Newsletter 11, Week of March 3rd 2025
Hello Band Families!
This week is BAND FESTIVAL WEEK! This is one of the most important performances for the PN Band Program, and there are many important details to note in this week’s newsletter!
BAND FESTIVAL CHAPERONES
We need chaperones for the Band Festival to go off without a hitch! Because all three Bands are performing on the same day, there will be moments when we need to lean on other adults to ensure our students successfully reach their next destination.
Band Festival Chaperone Sign-Ups
Additionally, looking ahead, State Solo & Ensemble is upon us! Students who are performing, please check the schedule/performer guidelines. We also need many volunteers to make this event a success!
