PVHS Band Announcements

  Good morning families! We had an AMAZING time yesterday at Boca, and we are SO proud of all of our students for what they have achieved. Massive thank you to our chaperones and all of you supporting in the stands, we truly appreciate it and cannot do this without you!!! We only have up to go from here, and we are already starting 6 points higher than we did last year which is HUGE. Our target is locked on 10/26 BOA and we are going to work hard for it.  Couple of notes from me: We are currently unsure of our kickoff time on Friday! Earlier in the year we were told it was 7:45pm, but I understand that GoFan and MaxPreps have it now listed as 6:30pm. I have reached out to our athletic director and AP and will send a followup confirmation tomorrow when I know for sure.  Thing 2.) Saturday's rehearsal is IMMENSELY important. We have members of our design team in, we are adding Act 4, and the kids are learning what happens when members are missing fr...

  Hi band families,  Super busy week this week! It is our first show weekend!!!!!! First - it is SUPER important that our PV fan base shows UP at Boca. We pride ourselves on having the most supportive and loudest parent section at competitions, and our kids THRIVE on the support!  Itineraries for Gameday and 9.28 are attached, please read all the information very carefully!!!! While we are aware this is a very long week, this is the only one of its kind - we will never have practices, games, homecoming, and a competition back to back any time else. Things have the potential to get tense so I please urge you to help me maintain the calm, keep the energy cool, and help make sure the kids are not falling behind with any of their school and band responsibilities! As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns, happy to help in any way I can!  Week at a Glance Tuesday, September 24 - Full Marching Band practice, 4pm-8pm Wednesday, ...

 H ello parent volunteer! You are on the list of parents who have been cleared in the raptor system. On November 9th, we are participating in the Garcia HS band invitational competition. In order to save lots of money, the directors have decided to have parent drivers transport our band/guard students to and from the competition rather than on buses since it is only 15 minutes away. We will still be utilizing our trailers for transport of props, large instruments and guard equipment. Ideally, we need drivers of  SUVs and minivans  in order to maximize the number of students and their gear (small instruments, backpacks and water jugs) each vehicle will transport. We do not want to take advantage of the parking at Garcia as this also affects their profits.  If you are available and willing, please let me know ASAP. You will need to complete the attached parent volunteer driver form and return it to the directors to be considered.  The band is not allowed to pay re...

  Good afternoon Band Families,  Thank you so much for ALL your help in making our first football game a success! The kids had a GREAT time and an amazing debut show, and we are so grateful for all your help in helping us get there.  UPDATE : PVHS Open house has been moved from Sept 10 to Sept 17. We will have practice on Sept 10, but please know that any student attending the funeral service for Marcelo will be excused from practice. Our thoughts are with the Villar family and all of yours as well, and we are always here for anything you or your child may need. We love our band families from the bottom of our hearts, and are always here to support.  Week at a Glance: Tuesday, September 10 - Full marching band practice, 4pm-8pm (students will be excused to attend Marcelo's funeral. Please email the directors and keep us in the loop) Wednesday, September 11 - Color guard and percussion practice, 4pm-8pm Thursday, September 12 - Full marching b...

Good afternoon parents,  First, thank you for ALL your enthusiasm to help and volunteer. We are sorry for the seemingly last minute cut, but our administration has told us we need to limit our volunteer numbers to 10 total.  This does NOT include district employees - you may get in with your badge and help out.  We are so sorry for this, it was sprung on us late. But we guarantee that anyone who planned on volunteering tonight but did not get a chance will  get first priority to sign up at the next game.  Of course, you are ALL invited to come watch the band at their first performance and help us (and we will need it!!!!), but unfortunately that will mean that you are paying the ticket price.  Volunteers for Friday night football game: Cheryl Lamey – Medic Chad Phillips Eric Mason – Photographer Heather Bisbee – Football Shout Outs Jody McGinnis – Football Shout Outs Justin Kotlarz – Props John Brown – Props Karla Denis  – Unif...

  Hi everyone,  Attached is t  The Game Day itinerary for tomorrow is on the hub!  -- Amrutha  Murthy Band Director     Park Vista Community High School amrutha. murthy @ palmbeachschools.org 561-491-8473 (O) Park Vista Band  |  Band Parent HUB

  Hello! I hope you and your student(s) are enjoying another day of rest! As promised at the parent meeting, attached are all the information sheets and forms you will need to sell ads for the Invitational Program that we will be selling on November 2nd. We will be adding photos of all the participant bands and alumni classes to entice those groups to purchase the books and give our advertisers a larger pool of potential customers. Please read through all of the documents before you solicit an advertiser. As you can see from the "profits for sales" section on the information sheet, you will earn $200 for a full page color ad. If you are able to sell 5 of those ads, that will take care of almost all of your fair share for the year! As with all other fundraisers, this is 100% optional. If you are not comfortable asking for ads that's ok. But if you frequent a business, own a business or know someone who does, this is the perfect opportunity to make some great money. If you ...
