RED HOUSE – FALL POPS CONCERT
Our annual Halloween-ish concert is back!! This Thursday, the middle schools will be joining us for a night of music making. Details: http://www.pnhsbands.com/2022/10/21/red-house-pops-concert/
FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS
We are hosting a home playoff game this Friday at 6pm. The band will perform in the stands, but not march. We’ll have more details on call time and what to wear, as we get information from athletics.
CRAFT FAIR IS HERE
It’s craft fair time! We ask each family to register for one or more craft fair shifts. The band typically earns about $6k-$7k from this event, but only if we provide the minimum number of volunteers. Your donation of time helps support the cost of traveling to competitions, which enriches the experience of our students. Volunteering is a great way to get to know your band family and have a little fun along the way.
