Marching Band Family BBQ

Please mark 5:00pm on Friday, August 26th on your calendar and plan to attend our 2011 Marching Band Family BBQ, which will be held at the High School. In addition to having a light BBQ meal, we will have a meeting with all parents about the program. It is most important that ALL Marching Band families attend to learn more about the upcoming season and the challenges we face. We'll also have a chance to listen to our students perform some of the music they've learned during the previous two weeks of Band Camp ... and get to meet our new members and families.
The BBQ will begin at 5:00pm behind the Band Room - followed by the parent meeting at 6:30pm and student performance.
PLEASE BE SURE TO ATTEND - AUG 26th - 5:00pm COST IS FREE!! |

| Marching Band Competition | |
Reserve Saturday, October 29th in your calendars ... because we're going to need everyone's help with our first MBOS Marching Band Competition at Aliso Niguel HS. We are going to need volunteers to help with *all* aspects of the show - from selling and collecting tickets, preparing and selling food, managing traffic and buses, directing bands to/from rehearsal areas, and everything that goes along with staffing a marching band competition. It will be a full day of hard work - but we're counting on this event being successful, to help generate funds for our programs.

| New Online Volunteer Registry | |
Volunteers are the life-blood of our organization and without an active group of people to support our various programs and fund raising efforts, things just don't get done. We have created a new Volunteer section on our website, which provides information about the roles and tasks associated with our Volunteer Committees.
A new Volunteer Registration form now automatically saves your volunteer profile and event/task selections - making it very easy to return to the site to review and update your profile information and selections. All information is stored in our database and readily available for committee chairpersons.
