Come have fun! We will spin, practice stand tune moves, and have dinner together! The theme of this Jag Jam dinner is BBQ! We have some Jaguar Band Dads who will be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers for everyone. We just need you to bring sides! Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4DA5AD2EAAFFC61-jaguar

New students will also be able to pick up their official band water jugs just in time for summer band!

FEES: Don't forget to pay your fees! The directors use these fees to not only cover costs such as show design, techs to assist with teaching (like Derek), and various equipment, but to cover the costs of items for color guard such as: jazz shoes, guard gloves, unitards, , summer uniforms parts, including sneakers, practice shirts, and gray team jackets. The guard fees do not cover the complete costs of these items. The generosity of our district allows our band directors to keep costs low for families. However, it's the fees that allow our directors to purchase all of these items early enough for them to arrive before games and performances. To pay your fee, go to johnsonbands.com, in the header, click on "more" and then "pay band fees" or click HERE.

FORMS: Mrs. Tracye Mendez sent out an email on July 13th that contained links for all of the required forms. You must have these items completed and submitted in order to participate in summer camp!

Have questions about game day? meal plans? schedules? This is the place to ask!

Each "section" will have a Parent Section Lead that will create a GroupMe. Here is where you can families can ask all of these questions! It is also a great forum to organize section get-togethers or practices!

We also invite extended family members (Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents - ESPECIALLY those who volunteer!) to sign up.

It is very difficult for our volunteers and directors to keep up with Facebook exchanges. Therefore, we ask that questions be directed to the GroupMe. Thanks in advance!
