MARCHING BAND 2020

6/6/2020

We have missed being together in band, and we have heard from our families that students need to return to activities.

We are proud to still be here to serve our students, school, and community through the largest organization in our school. Seeing so many students learn and grow through marching band is inspiring. As a student shared this week, marching band at North Hills is life-changing!

Before moving forward, though, we needed to have a plan to do so safely for our students and community. We would not ask a family to join a group without first sharing clear guidelines for moving forward as safely as possible. In designing this plan, it is a huge advantage that Marching Band is an outdoor activity, where we can easily adapt our habits.

Our schedule is available in a monthly format under the Calendar tab.
Our Marching Band Handbook can always be found under the Forms tab.

As always, let us know how we can help.

Gratefully,

Your Marching Band Staff and the NHIPA
