Upcoming Dates!

Spring Collage, Opus II is here!
Plan on enjoying us at the Amador Theater on Monday May 21 at 7:00 p.m. for this year-end closing performance that is one not to miss. If you made it last year you know it is unlike any other concert you have attended. You won't believe music this good is free!

Spring Awards date change:
Due to a conflict with the Competition Civics awards presentation, the band awards night has been moved to Monday June 11 at 7:00 p.m. in the Amador Multi-Purpose Room. This semi-formal year end celebration recognizes the contributions of each band member and salutes the outstanding class of 2007 one last time as members of our band program.




Pizza Party Contest!

pizza partyThe Band RAs are sponsoring a contest among the band class periods. The class that turns in the most Parent Volunteer Forms this week will win a Pizza Party to be held during class. Students received forms this week in class, or you can download forms from the band website:
www.amadorband.org/docs/Volunteer_Form.pdf

Fun Facts about Parent Volunteer Forms:
*New district form does NOT require SS#.

*PUSD will be centralizing the parent volunteer list this year. Fill out one form for all parents and students in your household (include names and schools of siblings) and you will be covered for all volunteer activities at all schools for the entire 2007-2008 school year.

*Help your student win a Pizza Party!
