Congratulations to The Kaiser Catamount Pride Band & Color Guard for being selected to perform in the Disneyland Community Arts Showcase for the 21st time. They will perform on Feb. 7th with a march down Main Street with free entrance into the park.

Job well done.

This Wednesday is uniform block (parade) inspection. All band members need to have their parade accessories: black Dinkles shoes, black socks at least calf high, white gloves, and spats.

Please be prepared.

Students will also be putting on trousers for pants length inspection. Wear gym shorts on Wednesday. Everyone will be putting on trousers in bandroom.

Note for color guard: students were given what they need this weekend. It needs to be ordered soon so it is ready for the parade at the LA County Fair on September 13th. Here is what is needed:

– white Dinkles shoes

– bun for hair

– bobby pins

– hair ties

– hairspray

– long white socks (knee high)

– white underwear

Make sure underwear is seamless & socks don’t have thick bands on the top. The guard will be wearing form fitting white bottoms.

Because Kaiser High School’s Homecoming Dance is on October 12th, the band and guard will not be performing at the Colony High School Field Tournament on 10/12. The band and guard will be performing in the Mustang Classic at West Valley High School in Hemet on October 19th.

This Tuesday, August 13th, is Back to School Night for Kaiser High School from 6:00 – 7:30.

The parent meeting of the Band Boosters will be during the 6th period portion of Back to School Night and will continue afterwards. So there will not be a meeting on the regularly scheduled day of Thursday, it will be on Tuesday instead starting about 7:15pm.

We now have a donation letter for distributing to businesses to solicit donations for the current school year. You can find it on the Forms page on the website. You can also download the Donation Letter 2019-2020 from here.

Thank you for your hard work in making this a great experience for our students!
