Are junior high students required to attend pep bands?

No.  They are not required, but it is highly suggested.  It is a great way 
to get to know future band members, and improve instrument technique.

Saxophone, but I really enjoy playing sousaphone, trombone, and bass 
guitar.  We're going to add trumpet to the mix.

If I am in a varsity sport, do I have to make up that sports pep bands?

No.  I you are in a varsity sport, like football, you are not expected to be 
at the football pep bands and you will not have to make them up.  You do 
however, have to go to the other sports pep bands, unless a schedule 
away 
game conflicts with the home pep band.  If you aren't sure, just ask Mr. 
La 
Mont.

What should I wear to a concert?

You do not need to wear black and white.  However, part of a 
performance is 
how you look, so you do need to wear what would be considered your 
"best" 
clothes.  Blue jeans and t-shirts are discouraged.

First you will need to decide on a pen name.  Anytime you add a comment you

name, come see Mr. La Mont and he will give you the password and document 
your pen name.
