- I only have 2 forms so far and there are DOZEN of students who should be in this band!
- Email the form to me or give me a paper copy.
If you are selected and attend the honor band weekend October 10-11:
- Mr. Grush will arrange transportation to Wilmington, but families will be responsible to arrange transportation home after the concert.
- Chaperones and drivers are needed. Chaperones will be responsible for students at times when Mr. Grush has other responsibilities to run the honor band weekend.
- Since that is our Fall Break weekend, Mr. Grush may stay the weekend in Wilmington and not return to CA after the concert.
