Sep 29, 2025 Band Notes

We are just about to October, which is filled with quite a few band-related and APA performances/events. Woohoo!


This week we have our Homecoming Football Game on Friday, where we take on Laguna Hills HS at home. For this game we still perform our pre-game routine and play in the stands, but we will not be performing a half-time show due to Homecoming festivities. We will still be in uniform so please volunteer to help out with uniforms/concessions/etc! More details are below.

We are also prepping for our first competition on Saturday, October 11th. Just a few things to keep in mind...We will be busy all day, getting to the school around 9am and probably won't be back to school until around 10pm. Students who are in APA's Shrek performance will be transported back to the HS right after we perform in the afternoon.


Attendance over the next few weeks is extremely important so we can have a strong performance!
