Donations Needed! Can you help? 

• Snacks and Drinks for the fall season!

  • We give the kids snacks during band camp, during half time and at competitions.  Individually wrapped snack crackers, chips, granola bars, cookies, are the best (they don’t melt…).

  • Drinks? Water is best!

• Uniform room donations

  • Hair ties, hair spray, thin head bands, black socks, bobby pins, makeup remover cloths, nail polish remover.  All these items are used to help us get ready for competitions

• 12” balloons – These are used during marching practice for breathing exercises

• we'll also have a March-A-Thon - date TBD, not on the signup page yet, but keep check back!

• All chaperones must have a current APS background check. These expire every 2 years. You can request one on the APS volunteer website. The cost is $12.

Parents, interested in joining the PIT Crew! Sign up here!

• We need help moving the equipment used for the front ensemble out for most all the football games and at ALL the competitions! Sign up at our SignUpGenius Page.

Parents, we need help setting up our props!

• The current plans for props are 2 large (30' x 30') vinyl mats, one white, one black.  These will be spread out prior to the band taking the field and will require quite a few people to get it done!  

• Props may or may not be displayed at every football game, but they will DEFINITELY be displayed at competitions -- this is where we will need the most help! 

• Sign up for as many events as you want.

• Note:  Times for the competitions (Zia, Valencia, POB, District MPA) are estimated -- we don't have our performance times yet.
