PVHS Marching Band: All Things Invitational

-

 Hello Band Family!


Saturday is our biggest event of the season and it is a fun and busy one!
Here is the invitational website:

EVENT SUMMARY (see website for details)
Tickets are $18 and can be purchased on GoFan
Parking is $5 cash only
Concession tickets can be purchased with cash only throughout the duration of the event (many items will be sold and are listed on the website)
Bring $$ for band-o-grams, invitational shirts and buttons if you so desire

VOLUNTEERS
We need volunteers still, lots of them.  For every shift worked, a meal ticket is provided.  If you volunteer, parking will not have to be paid and entrance to get in will be waived.  PLEEEEAASE go onto Charms and review the shifts and sign up as soon as you are able to so we can panic less. :)
When you volunteer, please wear your volunteer shirts OR you may purchase one of the very few left for $5 when you check-in.  If you do not have one or cannot get one, please wear a Park Vista Blue colored shirt or any Park Vista spirit wear. Wear comfortable shoes. Be prepared for the heat and sun (hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc). Please park in the volunteer parking lot (see below).
Note: When you sign in at the volunteer check-in table, you will be given an entrance wristband and your meal ticket(s) then.

If you do not have access to Charms and would like to volunteer, please email me and I will let you know what "roles and shifts" are available and we can make that happen.

DONATIONS
We still need donations.  Most emergent is for snacklike foods for the volunteer hospitality room: cookies/chips/whole fruit, etc.  Please bring food donations by 11am on Saturday to the band room.  
Pepsi products (12oz cans) and Gatorade bottles (20oz) will still be accepted until Saturday leading up to the event as well - please bring directly to the concession area.

LOANERS
We still need a few smaller (60qt) coolers (5).  Please help if you can and drop off your items either Friday night (only if you are volunteering for the football game) or Saturday first thing in the morning by 8am, as that is when set-up begins. Label your items clearly and in multiple locations and in a large font for ease of return. 

If you plan on loaning or donating, please email fundraising@parkvistaband.com just to provide a head's up that you are bringing them.

SCHOOL MAP for the event
Is attached to show a multitude of things, including: where to park as a spectator, as a volunteer and where bands go as well.  If you are working the event, open it and familiarize yourself with it to get an idea of who's going where so you have the answer if someone may ask. 
Note: we will have a slight modification to the parking situation and band warm-up sections until 2:30pm.  You will be informed of exact instructions upon arrival.

BAND SCHEDULE
is attached as an FYI as well.

If you have any questions, please let me/us know ASAP. 

Thank you!

  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...

Good morning band families! It's an exciting week ahead of us - first competition week! This week looks strange for our rehearsals, since there are NO sectionals or rehearsals Monday and Tuesday. We really stress (heavily) the importance of the rehearsals on Thursday and Friday to best set us up for success going into the Boca Comp. I tell our kids a lot that "practice to learn your part, rehearsal is to learn how other people's parts go with yours."  It is IMPERATIVE that our kids (and us) are thinking in 'team sport' mentality over individual interests this week, and in general.  Attached are several documents, please pursue and take note of the details. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns, happy to help in any way. Looking forward to Saturday!!!  Week at a Glance: *** This week's schedule is different because of the holiday *** Monday, September 22 -- No rehearsal Tuesday, September 23 -- No school, no rehearsal...
