Good afternoon band families, 

Next week is graduation on May 19!
Symphonic band and Wind Ensemble will be performing in the "graduation band," and no one else needs to be there that Monday in the band. For students not attending graduation, there is NO SCHOOL that day. 

Symphonic and Wind Ensemble - it's an early morning!
The itinerary will look something like this:
- 4:45 AM (yes, before Dunkin is open...): Call time at PVHS in CONCERT BLACKS
- 5:15/30 AM: Depart PVHS for the South Florida Fairgrounds 
- 6:00 AM: Arrive, get security checked, get set up 
- 6:30 AM: Warm-up, rehearse graduation music 
- 7:50 AM: Play the graduation song 
- 9:30 AM: bye seniors!!! :( 
- 9:50 AM (ish): Depart Fairgrounds 
- 10:20 AM (ish): Return back to PVHS - GO HOME!!! :) 

For the first time in 3 years, there is no CMMS concert later that night. CMMS concert is on Tuesday May 20. :) 

This is a VERY early day but we will have the kids home before 11AM so they get their time back. 
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns; 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...
