News
Marching Madness (12/12) - This is a celebration we have after every marching season.  It gives the students a time to have some fun after all the hard work they have done throughout the season.  It is similar to a potluck so you can bring food, drinks, and games (make sure they are appropriate). It will be held in the band room on December 12th at 6:00pm- 9:00pm.

​Band Uniform Turn In (12/17 and 12/18) - ​Uniform turn-in is on Wednesday, December 17th and Thursday, December 18th between 1:00pm-3:00pm.  Before turning the uniform in, there must be a receipt that shows proof that the uniform was dry cleaned. The entire uniform and bags must be turned in at the same time. Here is the list of items to turn in: shako (including string), coat (sash & cape), pants, collar, shoulder chords, uniform bag, shako bag, shoe bag, and hanger. The only dry-cleaners that you may use is Blue Line Cleaners at 13771 Newport Ave, Ste 5 in Tustin.  Their phone number is 714-505-2988.  They are only charging $15.00 per uniform, which is a really good deal. Here are dry cleaning instructions for the uniform: Do not take your garment bag to the cleaners. Only wash the sash at the end of the year (unless there is a stain on it). Do not take in the shako. You must take off the shoulder cords before going to the dry cleaners. Please put your uniform back together before bringing it in. If you did not have your uniform dry cleaned, you can bring your uniform on one of the turn-in dates with $20 and we will have it dry cleaned for you. Uniforms will only be accepted on those 2 dates.  Failure to turn the uniform in may result in not having a uniform for next year.  If you have any questions or concerns, please ask.                       More information
