Good afternoon 2025 Marching Band and Guard Families! We are SO excited to get the ball rolling on next season. We had some new families join between my last email and now, so I figured it would be best to send another email. For those I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet, I, along with our other Band Director at Park Vista, Mr. Rodriguez, are stoked about our plans for next year and all of you coming on board to what is about to be an eventful year. First things first, we are in the thick of recruiting for another month! Any and ALL families are welcome to join, please talk to your friends and encourage your children to do the same. This activity is way more fun when more people are involved, and we just want to have a large band family! By now, your kids have either attended a preliminary camp or have plans to attend this Tuesday (band) or Wednesday (guard), and are coming home talking about Spring and Summer camps. Please see below for our spring and summer schedule, so...
Good morning Band Families, WOW what a weekend! I hope you and your kids feel so proud about this past weekend and the performance they had at Boca. The kids had a great show, judges were so complimentary and constructive, the costumes and props look fantastic, and more. This was an incredible first show (a 1st place win, Best Music, Visual, GE, and Guard did not hurt either!!!) and we are over the moon. The work does not stop here, though. We have a big competition to look forward to this week, and a MODIFIED rehearsal schedule due to Yom Kippur (G'mar Chatima Tovah to those who observe). Please read ALL information below, as many important and crucial details are addressed in the itinerary (and the FAQ page). As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns; happy to help in any way! This will be a great week with 8th grade night and our first time attending the Merritt Island comp. The wo...
Good afternoon Band Families, Thank YOU for everything yesterday and this whole week! Directors, judges, and schools were nothing but complimentary for the way we host shows. They loved our respectfulness, our helpfulness, and how prepared we were, even with our weather situation at the end. Your kids also did a FANTASTIC job, and were the "talk of the town" in the way they conducted themselves. That being said - we do need to wrap up some invitational items (air out tents, reorganize the connex, etc) so please see CutTime later today to volunteer tomorrow for Invitational cleanup. It really does take a whole village to run this event, and we are PROUD to have y'all, our alumni, and our future representing us in such a positive manner. We are hitting our final 2 weeks. While others might see this as an opportunity to slow down, here at PV, this is where we take advantage and push forward. We are on a great trajectory, and we want to make...
