Close-out Procedures and Dismissal

Next week October 9th at 7:00 P.M. in the Band Room at the high school, we have a MANDATORY parent meeting just for the color guard. It is VERY important we have everyone attending this meeting.

Thank you!

The Kaiser Band and Color Guard will be competing on Saturday, October 6, in the WUHSD Field Tournament at California High School in Whittier.

We will be sending an itinerary a few days before the event, but our performance will be at 8:45pm and awards at 10:00pm, so it will likely be a report time in the early afternoon and back at the school about midnight.

We still need need volunteers to help with moving props onto the field. Please let us know if you are able to do this. We will be having practice on Tuesday night with the band and guard. At the competition, we have three minutes to get everything setup, so we need to have enough people and make sure everyone knows what they are doing.

The price for admission to just watch is Adults $8, Students w/ID $5, kids 5 and under free.

Directions to California High School can be found here:

On another note, we are selling sno-cones at Fontana’s Grillin n Chillin event this Saturday, 9/29, from 10am – 3pm at Fontana Park. The city is helping us out with this, it would be great to see everyone come out and support the city. Besides the sno-cones everyone should come buy, there will be barbecue and other activities.

The Kaiser Band and Color Guard went to the LA County Fair on 9/14/2018 and 9/22/2018 for the Fair’s band competition. Kaiser won third place in a very tight final.

Good morning parents,

For field shows this year, we have a lot of equipment and props to push onto the field. We are going to need about 20 parent volunteers to help with this. Unfortunately, most of these volunteers will have to drive themselves to the field shows because we have limited bus space.

We are having rehearsal for this at next week’s Saturday morning practice (9/29). Please, if you can do this, let us know. You can reply below or use the contact form or contact Lulu or Isabel.

Please help out if you can, we really can’t do this without you!

Thank you!

The popcorn fundraiser is due this Monday 9/17. This is a great opportunity to raise money to be able to go to competitions. Even one item sold by each person in band AND guard would get us a lot closer to being able to go to our next competition.

Thank you for your support!

Our water bottles are wearing out, so we need to get new ones. We would greatly appreciate it if some parents could each get one for the band and color guard from Big 5 and bring it in for hydrating the kids. Our next outing could be this Friday if we get called back for the championships at the Fair.

Thank you very much!
