We request that all required forms be signed and returned to us by Monday, August 17th.
All band and colorguard students will participate in the annual Meet the Panther event on Wednesday, August 26th at the PSHS Competition Gym. This event introduces student participants in fall sports and spirit groups, and members of the band leadership team and colorguard will be recognized. Students should meet at the PSHS Band Hall at 6:00pm wearing jeans and a maroon, white, grey, or black Princeton shirt. Meet the Panther begins at 7:00pm and is expected to end between 8:00 and 8:30. Family members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
As you are may be aware, Princeton ISD is implementing a new application for district communications with families and students. ParentSquare was chosen to provide a single portal through which all communications between teachers, administrators, parents, and students could exist in a secure, verified, and logged system. It also supports two-way translations between more the 190 languages.
Although we will likely continue sharing our newsletters through CutTime, you can also expect to see them through ParentSquare. Additionally, all other official communications from the Band and Colorguard programs will begin taking place through ParentSquare once the necessary groupings are created.
We strongly encourage all families to review information that has been provided by the school district to ensure they have access to ParentSquare as the school year begins this week.
Several students have asked about the availability of audio files of music for "Wicked Games." These can be accessed by clicking the link below. Students should keep in mind that these files are electronic representations of the written music. While they can be helpful for getting an idea of the show music, they don't necessarily depict how it should sound when performed by real instruments.
