GREETINGS, TIGERS!
A big WELCOME to the PNHS Band Family! We’re excited to begin a journey with you unlike anything else you’ll ever experience. We’re looking forward to seeing many of you for the first time on Thursday night! For everyone receiving this message, Commitment Forms have been completed, and we have you in our record-keeping database called Cut Time.
FIRST TIME WITH NEW MEMBERS:
Our new Freshman Woodwinds and Brass will meet from 6:00–8:00 PM in the Main Gym or Fieldhouse (depending on availability). Our student leaders will guide you to the correct location.
Percussion and Colorguard will meet as normal.
The New Parent Meeting will take place in the Auditorium, beginning at 6:00 PM. It will last no more than an hour. We’ll share insight and information about our band program and what to expect. Please join us!
Parents may park in the Band Practice Lot for this meeting. See the attached map for details.
ARRIVAL:
Students and parents should enter through Door P – the double doors to the Music Wing. Student leaders and parent volunteers will be there to guide you. Entry details are also available on the map.
WHAT TO BRING:
For this first meeting, all you need is:
- Comfortable, weather-appropriate athletic clothing (something you can move in easily)
- Gym shoes
- Water bottles are welcome, but the physical activity will be very low intensity.
- No instruments are needed for this first meeting.
UNIFORM FITTINGS:
If you will be away next week during mini-camp, you need to be measured Thursday night between 7:00–8:00 PM.
Returning members: Please email Mr. Hatcher if you need to be measured during this time.
New Members, Percussion, and Guard will complete fittings during rehearsal Thursday.
