BAND MISSION STATEMENT (Created by our student leaders)
Together, our Crimson Community will create outstanding performances by focusing on improvement and encouraging commitment from our members, along with a respectful and trusting environment on and off the field.
All members are expected to be at practices and performances and to let the director know asap if there is an excused conflict. Excused conflicts include sudden moves between schools, illness, emergencies and special family engagements. Students who have unexcused absences may miss performance opportunities, as we have to have members we can reliably count on.
