Hello amazing band people!

===CHAPERONING===

Starting this semester, if you wish to chaperone then I will need to have a current photocopy of your driver’s license on file with this school. This is regardless to whether you have provided a copy prior to now. We have moved to a new system and will need new copies. Please let me know if this includes you. You must complete this process if you want to ride the bus or aid in the process of student activity and competition. Thanks for your understanding with this! 🙂
