These forms show items that are required for purchase and there are also optional items that can be purchase as well. In addition to the band/auxiliary order forms, there is a home game meal order form and a healthy snack meal order form.

New Google Calendar: Don’t forget to sync the PRHS Band calendar with your mobile device! Instructions are attached to this email. Please refer to this calendar before scheduling ACT/SAT testing, student work schedules and any other events that would keep students from attending the required events. Please take special note to a few dates on the calendar:
 
  • Freshmen Orientation is on Tuesday, 8/8 from 8:00am-12:00pm. All freshmen band students will go to Freshmen Orientation and then return to band camp when they are dismissed at 12:00noon.
  • There is Early Dismissal 9/20, along with no school on 9/21, but there is still a required football game performance on 9/22. It’s a home game and it’s also 8th grade night. In following week, we have a required football game performance on a Thursday night (9/28). We will not have Thursday night rehearsal on 9/21 or 9/28—instead, we will have a Saturday rehearsal on 9/23 from 8:00am-4:00pm. This rehearsal is mandatory.
  • There is no school on 10/16 and 10/17 but the band will still rehearse on Tuesday, 10/17 from 5:30-8:30pm. This rehearsal is required. We could not move it or cancel it because Band Show is that weekend (10/21) and MPA is the following weekend (10/28).
