It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I cordially invite your child to attend the Kaiser High School Band & Color Guard Camp. I’m Anthony J. Allmond, the Band Director at Kaiser, and I’m very excited about being apart of providing your child with an educational experience that will impact them for a lifetime. Kaiser’s band and color guard has enjoyed phenomenal success in its 23rd year of performing and looking forward to greater accomplishments.
Band & Color Guard Camp is very important, because it prepares students for the challenges of the upcoming football season and competitive events that they will be attending. It also allows the band to become a cohesive unit and gain confidence in their abilities. We will be performing at some competitions this year and doing halftime at the home football games.
Band Camp will be held at Kaiser High School on July 15th – July 23rd. It will begin at 8:00am and end at 2:45pm daily excluding weekends. Because of the significance of Band Camp it is mandatory that every student who is signed up for Band & Color Guard attend Band Camp. We will be having a Booster meeting TBA. We will need every parent’s help in making this club’s efforts successful. We will be discussing, parent monetary contributions, fund–raising, the band schedule, and other issues important to our organization. Please plan on attending this important meeting to insure that this will be a rewarding experience for both you and your child. I’m very much looking forward to meeting you and working with your child for the duration of their time at Kaiser High School.
Musically Yours, Anthony J. Allmond Instrumental Music Director Kaiser High School 11155 Almond Avenue Fontana, CA 92337
Well I’m writing this message heartbroken. The Governor has closed schools for the rest of the school year. I’m really concerned for my seniors and them not being able to complete the school year and complete the legacy of excellence that they’ve so formidably establish at the onset of the school year. Rest assured that you have performed your mission well and this class will be remembered for some time to come. We still are facing the task to get better as musicians on our distance learning endeavor. I know this is a rough time, but I really need you to keep practicing and growing as musicians.
Parade starts at Arrow & Sierra, goes south on Sierra to Orange, turns left to go east on Orange to Mango, turns left to go north on Mango to Arrow, turns left to go west on Arrow to return to the start point.
In other words, it’s a counter-clockwise loop going down Sierra to Orange to Mango to Arrow back to Sierra.
Come out and watch the parade. It’s a fun time and a chance to see your kids marching in a more relaxed environment.
