Band Banquet 2023!!
We are looking for a Committee Head to organize the upcoming Band Banquet, which will be held on Sunday, November 12th at 4 PM. This event requires a significant amount of planning and execution. In the past we have found it easiest to split the jobs and co-chair the event. Contact Deanna for more info and check out the sign up here: https://band.us/band/87597135/post/287

Where's the info?
The band app has been a lifesaver in keeping us organized and allowing us to share information and great photos with each other! All current marching band PARENTS/ GUARDIANS are encouraged to join. For privacy reasons, you'll be asked your name and your student's name prior to joining. (students may not join) https://band.us/@amcbandboosters
One of the most useful features has been the calendar! If you click on any event it will give you more details such as Uniform Report Times, Cheerleader themes, links for tickets, and directions for away games.
Add this URL to another calendar such as Google Calendar, iCal and MS Outlook via the 'Add by URL' or 'Subscribe' options by pasting all of the text below:

H2O Makes the Comets go!
The Boosters like to be able to provide at least 1-2 water bottles per student, per performance. This averages out to about one case of water per student for the season. If you are able to donate a case of water, please leave it outside the band room doors anytime during after school practices. If it is easier for you to donate $10 through Venmo (please put "water" in the comments), please feel free to take that option & we will purchase the water for you.
Shout out to everyone who's already done this!! We thank you so much!!
Tell me those dates again!
