Welcome
from the Simley High School Band Boosters!
Marching Band officially begins with 'band camp' during the first two weeks of August, culminating in a Community Performance in uniform. Parades take place during August, September and October. Drumline and color guard rehearsals begin earlier so please see the calendar for more detailed information.
A marching band packet of information including a welcome letter, fees/costs, schedule, and permission slips is usually mailed in the middle of July. If you do not receive this information before August, please contact the band boosters at ighband@hotmail.com or pull up the information by clicking on the calendar and permission slips links.
Generally an informational meeting for parents will be held some time during band camp. This gives parents an opportunity to check out volunteer options, ask questions, pay fees, to meet Mr. O. and other parents.
Any Additional Information or Changes will be posted on the band room's black board and this web site and sent out in an email. If you currently do not receive band emails, please contact us at ighband@hotmail.com Please provide us with your name, your student's name and grade and we will sign you up!
Other costs may be included as determined by the events planned, for example Valley Fair ticket prices.
An emergency form is needed to participate in Marching Band and ride the bus. Permission slips are needed to NOT ride the bus to special event dates such as the State Fair.
Banner carriers are generally underclassman or siblings of marching band members. Individuals that may be interested should contact Mr. Ochoada or the bank boosters at ighband@hotmail.com
Marching band’s success requires parent involvement and support. Chaperones and support teams are needed for every parade. Each year a parent or two volunteers to serve as marching band coordinators and they together with the officers of the Band Boosters are the point people for questions, volunteer coordination and communication.
The Marching Band does have a large trailer for transporting instruments and uniforms. The Marching Band needs a parent volunteer to pull the trailer at each parade. The logistics of a parade are significantly easier with the trailer.
If you have any interested in helping with the marching band please email the boosters.
Permission slip
Marching Band emergency consent form and special event permission slips (typically State Fair and ValleyFair) will be added for the 2012 season at a later date.
