 IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER THAN THIS!

Looking for a simple way to help AFM without meetings, projects, etc.?  The current coordinator of our Grocery Loyalty Programs (Raley's and Lucky's) will be stepping aside with her senior's graduation this year.  This low-key position requires very little time: simply match a quarterly statement of credits to band members' card numbers and pass the information on to AFM's treasurer four times a year.  It's the perfect way to contribute if your schedule prevents you from volunteering for some of the larger efforts.  Email Jenny Howard if interested.

 Shoreline and Concord Pavilion

We are still looking for more people that want to make money towards your Fair Share Contribution, having fun and  working at Concerts at Shoreline and the Concord Pavilion(Sleep train Pavilion). Please contact Steve Worth for more information.


We need your help!

 A great weekend to be a Don!

Chabot Wind Band Festival information for WE I/WE II Is now available on
the music program web page. A reminder that this is a 1/2 day of school so students will not be missing any instructional time to attend the festival.  Parents are invited and encouraged to attend the performance if you are available. It is free to see both groups perform.

Congrats! to the Pleasanton Unified MS Winter Guard and to Amador's Winter Guard for bringing home 2nd place honors in their respective classes at Saturday's competition in Dublin.  Amador lost 1st place due to a timing penalty and turned in one of their strongest performances of the season.  Also congrats to the Winter Percussion for bringing home 1st place at the same show.
