BAND REMIND

PLEASE SIGN UP FOR OUR  BAND REMIND  

The Remind group is an opportunity for you to receive short text messages about upcoming events and any needed reminders for band.  It works best if you also download the Remind App.  Messages will be the same for both the student and the parent Remind.  We simply divided it because Remind only allows so many participants per group.  ***EVERYONE WILL NEED TO SIGN-UP.  THERE WILL BE NO CARRY OVER FROM LAST YEAR***
