PV Band and Guard 2025

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...

Music for All Trip - April 8-9, 2025 - Final updates

Good morning Wind Ensemble and JB 1 families, This is THE week!! Thank you for all of your support of these wonderful kids - they really are the A-team. Looking forward to an excellent performance from JB1 on Tuesday and Wind Ens on Wednesday. (Fun fact, this is the first time in PV HISTORY that the Wind Ensemble has been invited to perform in an honors performance series, especially a Music for All one. This is an incredible precedent for the future of PVWE) Wind Ensemble has their ONLY MONDAY rehearsal TOMORROW from 3-5PM. It is imperative that all students are there, since we do not see them again until performance time. Couple of reminders: - Your students need to pack light. They will only be there for 2 days and 1 night, no reason to pack their entire room. :) We have 53 people on this trip. - Itinerary is attached: Please read it - Students are on a TLE on April 8 and April 9 ONLY. We will be arriving back LATE (midnight). Students are encouraged to get their homework d...
