Three more weeks until Crown Jewel! I hope we're all excited to move forward, work hard, and make this the best band it can possibly be!

This Friday, 9/30/16, we are going to our first away game of the year! We will be going to Suncoast Community High School. The itinerary is posted in the announcements tab of pslhsband.com as well as on the Facebook group page - 'PSLHS Band, The Pride of PSL" 

We will have rehearsal on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week. Wednesday is an early out, so we will have rehearsal from 12:30 - 3:30. If you having a ride after is an issue, please talk to Mr. Wiley. Or you could talk to another student or parent about the possibility of carpooling. Tuesday and Thursday will be normally scheduled from 2:30 - 5:00.

There is a Band Parent Committee meeting this Tuesday, the 27th from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. If you're interested in helping out the PSLHS band in any way, please feel free to come! We hope to see you there!

Please remember to practice your passoffs, as it is vitally important for ALL band members to be confident and comfortable with their music before Crown Jewel.

Please come see Mr. Wiley if you still owe money on your band fee.

If you need to hem your marching pants, please let us know!

Let Mr. Wiley, or Ms. Matthews know if you're interested in chaperoning the away game this Friday!

Please come and see Mr. Wiley if you have any questions about anything!
