I would like to invite the AFM community to volunteer for the 2013 Winterguard Show. 
AVHS is proud to welcome 25+ winterguard units, almost one thousand performers and spectators,from all over Northern California to this event. The support of the entire community is necessary to ensure the continued success of this event.

All volunteers will be able to watch the Pleasanton Unified Middle School and Amador Valley High School winterguards perform.
 
Thank you for your help,

Amador Dons are golden yet again!

Congratulations to the band and guard on turning in top notch season-ending performances at the Fiesta Bowl parade and field championships.  The Marching Dons brought home top honors in Class A parade competition as well as overall 2nd place caption awards in color guard, music, and general effect.  

In the field show, Amador stepped it up in finals, improving their score by almost 4 points and 1 placement, earning 2nd place honors and bringing home 1st place caption award in percussion and 2nd place caption awards in music and general effect.

Thank you to all of the parents who provided support in any way: attending, cheering, writing checks, volunteering at the site, on the road, on the bus or at the hotel.  This huge undertaking would not have been a reality without the love and support of the parents and the community!  

With much Amador Pride,
Director of Bands
