RA News
(Responsible Adult)
The 2012/13 marching band season is fast approaching and it's going to be an exciting one!
RAs have the essential task of safely getting this large band to and from competitions and on and off the field. Many jobs, large and small, are available to ALL who want to be involved. Click here for a detailed description of RA duties.
This will be my 7th and last year as a Responsible Adult and Head RA for the AVHS Marching Dons. My youngest daughter is a senior! I am looking for someone who wants to work with an amazing group of band students and their amazingly helpful volunteer parents. This job could be shared between a couple of volunteers. Please contact me if you are interested in this position and would like to know more!

UNIFORM FITTING IS AROUND THE CORNER...
 If it's August, it must be time to start thinking about band camp... and band camp also means uniforms! This year, the uniform fitting dates will be August 20, 21, and 22. A uniform webpage is in the works and the uniform contract will be updated and available for download very soon.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We still need volunteers at all positions! This is a fun way to begin the school year, meet new parents, and be the first to see the students in their uniforms! We train; no experience required. You can help students check in and out or help them pick the right size for shoes, gloves, gauntlets, and Shakos in addition to helping with the jacket and pants fitting. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Thank you!! Click this link to sign up
Note: When you sign up, the website will ask you to create an account with your email address. This allows us to send email reminders and updates about the fitting schedule. SignUpGenius.com does not share this information, but if you would prefer, you can send Gale Naylor an email listing the days and positions for which you would like to volunteer.
