Our Band Boosters have launched a brand new fundraiser for the Pace HS Band Program, through "Vertical Raise". This incredible opportunity will allow us to replace the nearly 20-year old Marching Band uniforms, Marching Percussion & Color Guard equipment that are past the end of their lifespan.

Match or Beat Mr. M's personal donation and you can pie him in the face AND conduct the band at a future home game!

All donations are tax-deductible & this fundraiser campaign ends on Sept 20th!

First Week of School Info & Schedule for the week: 8/8-8/12

We are looking forward to seeing everyone back in school on Wednesday! Please review our reminders below for all band program classes:

*If there is an error on your class schedule, we will work together to get it fixed. Please be patient - the guidance office will be working through many schedule changes.*

YES, you WILL need your instrument/equipment on Wednesday & for the remainder of the year.
Many of our concert instruments are still being professionally cleaned and sanitized. They will be checked out as soon as we receive them.
Instrument lockers are for your instrument and music only.
The Band Hall will not open until 8:45am each morning. The ONLY exceptions for an earlier entry would be for a pre-arranged band sectional, rehearsal, or private lesson.
Students may wait in the Band Hall on Tuesday/Thursday before evening rehearsal, Friday before a football game, or daily for afternoon lessons. If students go anywhere else, they will be asked to leave the building - sorry, this is a school rule. Plan accordingly.
If you are signed up for a before school lesson time-slot, remember to have your planner signed the day before your lesson, and bring it with you that morning, or you will not be allowed inside the building. All students will receive their planner on Wednesday.

Monday - Teacher Pre-Planning; Jazz 1 Rehearsal, 4:00-6:00p

Tuesday - Teacher Pre-Planning; Marching Rehearsal, 5:00-9:00p

A couple of reminders!
ALL rehearsals, sectionals & performances are ALWAYS mandatory!

Please email a director for every rehearsal absence - in advance when possible! This MUST be a note from a parent or guardian, not the student. Failure to do so can affect their grade or future performance opportunities.

Students who miss the Thursday evening rehearsal (excused OR unexcused) will not be permitted to do the field performance that weekend. This policy is listed in the Band Handbook.
