Armstrong High School Bands: Welcome

Winter Concerts are HERE and GONE!!
Hard to believe that the winter band concerts are done and Winter Break is just days away.  Congratulations to all of the Bands and Jazz Bands on their fine performances!!  Thanks to parents and families for their continued support of your students and our program, hope you enjoyed the concerts!!


Pep Band
The Armstrong Band Department will be playing at 12 home games during the winter sports season to support our teams and promote school spirit.  We will play at 3 Girls Basketball games, 3 Boys Basketball games, 3 Girls Hockey games and 3 Boys Hockey games.  Students will be receiving their own pep band folder of music before winter break to rehearse during the school day.  Each student has been assigned to Pep Band A, B or C and is expected to attend atleast 4 games.  Students going to more than 4 games will receive extra credit and lettering points.  Students should be sure to sign-in at the end of games so they will get credit for their attendance.  We do not require specific attire for these games.  Students should dress in layers for the hockey games so they will be warm enough.  We encourage students to wear school colors at the basketball games.  This year's schedule can be found on the Pep Band Schedules Page as well as the Calendar Page.  A master list of who is in what Pep Band can be found on the Handouts/Letters Page.  This pdf will become a attendance sheet once we start having games so parents and students can track attendance.


Freshman Band Sectionals
As hard as it is to believe, we are already into the second quarter of the school year.  Freshman Band students received a sectional schedule for the new quarter and it is also posted on our Handouts/Letters Page.  It is critical that students either attend their sectional or make it up.  These sectionals are very important for the development of the individual student and the band as a whole.  If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Woelfle.


Citrus & Butterbraids Fundraiser
All orders should have been handed in by Friday, November 13th.  The orders have been processed here at Armstrong and were sent to our disributor.  All of the orders will arrive during the day on Tuesday, December 15th.  Students will need to pick-up their items from the back loading dock area of the school, Door #29.  Times for pick-up are 2:10-3:30pm and 6:00-7:00pm.


Band Boosters
All parents are invited and encouraged to attend Band Booster Meetings that take place in the AHS Band Room throughout the school year.  Meetings start at 7:00pm and we try to keep them as close to an hour as possible.  Don't worry if you need to come late or leave early, we would love to see you!!  The Booster Meeting Agendas have found a new home on our website, you can now view them as a PDF from our Handouts/Letters Page.  Our next meeting is Tuesday, January 19th.
