As we approach our first away game, we need to be away of the different expectations we have. Please read THIS from the handbook to know our Uniform Policy, and read THIS to know our Game Policies for away game policies and procedures.
Also, students are required to bring a black 3 ring binder to class and rehearsal EVERY DAY. Due to the busy fall schedule, organization is key. Along with organization, students using school owned instrument MUST treat that instrument with the utmost respect. Click HERE to see the expectations for school instrument use in their handbook
