August 3 Notice

Hey Band friends – the news we knew was coming has arrived. Per TTSD, all extra- and co-curricular activities have been cancelled until further notice. So that means no Try-It-Outs, no practices, and no Band Camp. I know – it hurts. But we have to be as safe as we can during this ongoing pandemic.

The District has not identified a date for the potential return to activities and will follow the guidelines of the Oregon Department of Education, the Oregon Health Authority, and the Oregon School Activities Association.  One intriguing suggestion is that OSAA might follow the lead of WIAA (Washington) and move fall sports to the spring. If so, NWAPA has indicated a willingness to have some sort of Spring Marching Band season, and if they do, you KNOW we will do everything we can to be there. And we’re holding our breath for the Winter season – Winter Guard, Winter Drumline, and maybe even Winter Winds! But before that can happen, everyone has to follow what the scientists say.

Please, make sure that you, your friends, and family members all stay socially distant from everyone who is not a member of your immediate household, and wear a mask whenever you are in public. Let’s get this virus under control, so that we can return to what we love!
