Music masks will be required for all students during all PRHS performances. Students who are returning to in person learning in the second semester who did not do marching band season on campus, will have to purchase a music mask for $15.
 
JV Guard Practice Change (Tues. 1/26): JV Guard will rehearse on Tuesday, January 26th instead of Wednesday that week. This will allow for them to work with the color guard choreographer Ms. Greer and Mrs. Magdaleno. The schedule change has been updated in the band calendar.
 
Concert Band Season: The band will continue to prepare in their three groups: Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Symphonic Wind Symphony. After school rehearsals for band will start in the week of February 16th.
 
All County Honor Band Auditions (Due January 20-24): Auditions will be virtual through Canvas from January 20-24. Students who signed up to audition for Honor Band will be added to a “District Honor Band Class” through Canvas. Please be sure to turn in your contracts and audition videos on time! We hope to post the results by the end of this week.
 
District Solo & Ensemble MPA (February 12-13): Solo & Ensemble MPA will be virtual this year on February 12-13. All performing students will receive a rating and comments from their judge. Since Solo & Ensemble preparation is completed outside of the classroom, virtual students may choose to participate in this event.
 
District Auxiliary MPA (February 13): All auxiliary groups will perform at District Auxiliary MPA. All Varsity Guard, Dance, and virtual auxiliary students are required to perform a solo at MPA. Auxiliary MPA will be virtual this year on February 13. Mrs. Robinson will submit a video of all performing groups and soloists who will receive a rating and comments from their judge.
