Summer band starts July 9

MONTE VISTA — The 2012 Monte Vista High School summer band will begin practice on Monday, July 9.

Rehearsals will run from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings and, due to construction considerations, the rehearsals will be held in the east parking lot at Central Auditorium.

All students who are not working or on family vacations are expected to attend.

If a student must miss a few rehearsals, he or she may still participate with the director’s approval.

Incoming eighth graders who feel up to the challenge are encouraged to participate. There will not be a separate middle school marching band this summer. The band will march in the Stampede parades July 27 and 28.
