Dear Parents,

This is a friendly reminder that we have rehearsal this week during fall break. After meetings with the administration, our Athletic Director, and Dr. Valenzuela, we have been cleared for in-person instruction. We will be following the guidelines and safety protocols outlined by AIA (Arizona Interscholastic Association), which are the same rules that sports teams in our district, and state are following.

What that means for us…

  1. All parents will need to PRINT and SIGN the attached document. It will be required at the first rehearsal. If families do not have access to a printer, I will have extra copies at the first rehearsal.
  2. Rehearsals will be outside during Phase 1. We will rehearse in the student parking lot under the solar panels. Our instructional staff will place music stands where each person should set up to ensure everyone is 6-8ft apart.
  3. The staff will conduct temperature checks and log everyone’s temperature. If a student’s temperature is above 99.1, they will be sent home.
  4. Students will not share any equipment, water bottles at any time.
  5. Students/Staff must stay at least 6ft apart at all times.
  6. Everyone will wear a face mask the entire time while they are on campus.


What to bring:

  • Instrument (PPE for instrument provided)
  • FACE MASK
  • Water Bottle (1/2 or 1 gallon jug with ice is standard for marching band).
  • Athletic Shoes
  • Comfortable clothes that allow for movement (NO JEANS)
