Student & Parent Meeting – DVHS Auditorium – Saturday, May 17 – 8:00 AM
This meeting is for at least one parent for each current and future student in the Marching Band. Please make arrangements to attend this very important meeting, as we will be going through the expectations of the program, the handbook, the fall rehearsal and performance schedule, procedures and information, the fall marching production, and answering questions.
Parent Social and Q&A – Saturday, May 17 – 9:00 AM
After Mrs. Govan’s meeting, stay for a parent social sponsored by the DVHS Band Parent Volunteers. Here you can meet other Band families, meet other parents in your “section,” explore opportunities to serve, and have a great time connecting with new friends!
Volunteer Training – DVHS Choir Rm – Saturday, May 17
All parents planning to serve as a volunteer must complete DVUSD Volunteer Training every three to five years. Parents planning to chaperone overnight and/or out of state trips must be fingerprinted.
