AV Band Registration 2024
Hello AV Band Family!
Welcome to another great year in the AV Band & Color Guard Program!
Please take some time to fill out our Band & Color Guard Registration 2024 online form. There are FORMS for you to review in this registration. Please print, sign, and turn them in at the In-Person Registration.
IN-PERSON REGISTRATION will be on Saturday, August 3, 2024 9am-10am or 7pm-8pm by the Band Room. There will be a make-up registration on Saturday, August 10, 8:30-9:30am.
Note:
- This registration is for ALL BAND STUDENTS, including those who are only in Concert Band.
-
All MARCHING BAND & COLOR GUARD MEMBERS must bring their EMERGENCY MEDICAL FORM (EMI) on the first day of band camp, August 3. There will be a bin on a table outside the band office to collect these forms from you. Non-marching band members can turn in their EMI forms at the start of school to band directors.
We truly appreciate your DONATIONS since donations from families are what fuels our great big band program! You can find the suggested amounts per student on the registration page, and on the amadormusic.org website.
