Band Registration
08/01/15 – Please review your scheduled time as printed in the registration packet. Parents are required to attend as well as the students. Most, if not all, of your questions will be answered on this day. Registration could take up to three hours.
Common questions:
Q – What do I do during RHS school registration if it interferes with band rehearsals?
A – Let a director know you will be going to your school registration and once you are done, return to rehearsal promptly.
Q – May I attend the 9th grade orientation?
A – Sure, but it is not necessary. Parents can attend the meeting and get the information while the students are in rehearsal in order to not get behind.
Q – What do I do if I am trying out for a sport and it interferes with band rehearsals?
A – Email Mr. Marquez and notify him of the sport you are trying out for. You will attend tryouts and then return to rehearsal promptly.
Please let me know if I can answer any other questions.
Thank you,
Mr. Marquez
