  Good morning Band Families,  Hope we all had a restful weekend (without marching band...!)!  Almost there to Thanksgiving Break, final push here. The biggest thing on our docket right now is Bandsgiving on Tuesday! All families are invited, all are welcome, and all should sign up on CutTime so we know how to plan for the food we will all be bringing! Genuine note that we do need more "main dishes" and proteins, as we do not want this to be a sugar-rush dinner (for your sake when you take your kids home). Come spend the evening with us and celebrate all that is going well with the Park Vista Band!  Fair Share from the marching season is also (past) due. Cheryl Phillips will be sending out individual statements and/or individualized SchoolCash links. PLEASE communicate with Cheryl and us if there are any financial encumberments, as 1.) we do not want this to limit participation and 2.) we will be placing students on PV Obligations in December if w...

  Good morning Band Families,  We could not be more proud with how this weekend turned out. Between our kids enduring a VERY hot prelims, all the way to throwing it DOWN and having the best performance they could have in Finals, we are so proud of all of their hard work throughout the year. This season and show turned SO many heads across the state, directors and bands were nothing but complimentary about our process, our show, and more. We could not have done this without all of your support, your trust, patience, and enthusiasm for the kids and what they should be proud of. This was an amazing way to end our 2025 Marching Band season, and we are so grateful for it all. (Big plans in 2026 btw...!!!!) Looking forward, we are NOT slowing down the busy just because MB is over. We have already started Winter Guard, Percussion, planning for the Wind Ensemble Indianapolis trip, planning for hosting Jazz MPA and HS Concert in February and March respectively, and ...

  Good afternoon Band Families,  GRAND CHAMPS at Jupiter, and UNDEFEATED in the season, WOW. This is the final push until the end; our competition is with ourselves and how much we can perfect our product. We still have so many improvements in achievement to make for the rest of the week, and while others may let off the gas pedal now, Mr. Rodriguez and I know how to get our kids to push the last 10% so we can send into the world a performance that sparkles and (two) we are proud of.  We need YOU to support your kids this week - encourage them to stay on top of school work, support the kids at their performance this Saturday in Prelims (they thrive off audience engagement), and let's continue working hard for a Finals performance.  We are adding a *quick* rehearsal on Friday from 4-6 so we can get one more run through and can load the trucks, and not have the kids come to school too early on Saturday morning. We are having a 'send off' performance, all are ...
