Check out the countdown at the upper right of this page - less than two weeks before the JA Band will perform at the Alamodome.
All payments for the San Antonio trip are now past due. Please take care of these payments as soon as possible so that we can cover the expenses of the trip. Contact JA Band Booster Treasurer Jamie Niemeyer at JNiemeyer@sfbcic.com if you have any questions or concerns.
We are asking for donations of bottled water and snacks for the trip. We especially need healthy, substantial snacks (peanut butter or cheese crackers, etc.) in the event that our performance schedule leads to a delay in feeding the students a full meal.
Those families who do not travel with the band to San Antonio can still watch their performance via a live webcast subscription. For more information, click on the following link: MUSIC FOR ALL VIDEO SUBSCRIPTIONS. A subscription to a single event such at the San Antonio Super Regional is $19.
There will be a pre-trip meeting on Tuesday, October 30, at 7:00 in the band hall (during evening rehearsal). During this meeting, itinerary booklets will be distributed to those going on the trip, and any questions will be answered. We ask that all families going on the trip have at least one member present at the meeting, and all other families are also welcome to attend.
