Hello Parents and Students,

It's been a great beginning of the school year for all the band classes at KHS. We will be having our Jazz and Fall Band Concert next Thursday, November 10th. It will be at 7 PM in the KPAC at the high school. Admission is free for the concert.

Students are asked to be there (ready to play) at 6 PM. That will give us the time we need to get organized, warmup and tune. Students are asked to wear concert black. That can include the Kuna Bands black polo with black pants or match the description of concert attire from the band handbook:  Thank you so much for your support and I look forward to seeing you at the concert!

CONCERT ATTIRE:
        Please prepare now to have appropriate concert attire for your student. All attire must follow school dress codes. At concerts and festivals students are expected to wear "concert black". This includes the following possibilities (keep in mind, everything should be SOLID BLACK): --black, long sleeve dress shirt with black slacks, black socks with black formal, close-toed shoes (black tie optional)  --black knee-length (or longer) skirt with nice black shirt or blouse and black formal, close-toed shoes  --black suit or tuxedo with black dress shirt, black socks with black formal, close-toed shoes (black tie optional)  --black knee-length (or longer) dress with black formal, close-toed shoes.
        If your student may need some help finding appropriate concert attire, please feel free to reach out to Mr. Krall well in advance of the first performance that the attire is needed. Students need to wear appropriate concert attire to perform at concerts or festivals.



​Thank you so much for your support and I look forward to seeing you at the concert!​

​Hello!

I'm so proud of what our students have been able to accomplish in the last few weeks and I'm looking forward to a great performance on Saturday at BSU!

Please refer to the itinerary for info about tomorrow's performance(s). Current weather forecasts make it look like the rain will mostly be in the morning, but please help your students to come prepared with layered warm clothing if it becomes necessary. Also, we'll do our best to give students a good lunch and snacks after their performance, but with the day being as long as it will be, I'd recommend students coming prepared with some money for concessions at Bronco Stadium. BSU has a strict policy of not bringing bags, umbrellas or outside food or drink into the stadium so please plan accordingly. 

On Monday we will have the marching band perform for 8th graders who will be visiting KHS at the beginning of intervention. Call time is 10:30 AM in the band room. As we will be performing through intervention and lunch time I will provide some pizza for students. Feel free to bring your own lunch though if you'd prefer that.

Also on Monday we will be having our end of season celebration with a dessert bar. Student call time is 6 PM and the event will begin at 6:30 in the KHS Commons. It's a great chance to recognize students and give parents, friends and family a chance to see/hear the show one last time.

Please see the information from the band boosters:

Parents,

This year we will be doing a dessert bar for the end of season banquet on Monday, 10/24.

Please see the sign up sheet below.

Thank you all so much for your help with providing food and helping to serve the band students/staff this year.  I know all of the band students/staff appreciate it as well.

​Hello All!

Tonight is our last football game of the season and it's senior night! My apologies in not sharing this sooner via email. 

We look to recognize our band seniors twice in the year- once, briefly, at the football game and more specifically at our final band concert of the year. Tonight, parents of seniors are invited to join their students on the track at the beginning of halftime where their name will be announced briefly before our halftime performance. Parents, feel free to join us on the track via the gate at the south side of the bleachers (which the band generally uses for getting on for halftime).

Call time for all students tonight is 5:45 PM. Please move water and music beforehand.

Tomorrow is the Vallivue Competition! Call time is 11:30 AM and the itinerary is available on our website and calendar.

Very soon I'll be able to send out our D3 Itinerary for next Saturday as well. Please ensure that all students are at our last two rehearsals next Tuesday and Thursday from 4-7 PM. Thank you!

​Hello Band Students and Parents,

Due to poor air quality, tonight's football game and band performance has been cancelled. Currently, the game has been rescheduled for 2 PM tomorrow. 

Our current plan as a band is to perform at tomorrow's football game. Call time will be at 1 PM in parade attire (black marching shoes, long black socks and black shorts and shirts). 

Administration will continue to monitor the air quality situation for tomorrow's game as well. I plan to do my best to send an email by 12 noon tomorrow to give a final update on the status of the football game and our band's performance. I will be consistently checking my email and responding until that time. Thank you for your support and understanding!

Hello Everyone!

I have an update for the purchasing of band gear for the year. Students are being provided a marching band show shirt (black, short sleeve) and a Kuna Bands polo shirt which is included in their Fair Share Payment. Those items have been ordered and are on the way.

We have an online band store open starting right now for students, parents, family and friends to purchase their Kuna Bands gear! The store will close by September 14th, so I'd encourage everyone to get their orders in by Tuesday. Use this link to go purchase your gear:

https://stores.inksoft.com/khs_band_show_store/shop/home


Just as a reminder, we have a football game tonight (call time 5:30). Next week we'll have our two evening rehearsals 5-8 PM on Tuesday and Thursday and then our big Saturday rehearsal on the 17th from 9 AM to 1 PM. We'll need everyone there to put final touches on the show as we go into the competition season.

Thank you for your support and feel free to email with further questions

​Hello All!

Students have been doing a fantastic job during band camp and already have half of movement one on the field with music and marching memorized! 

This Friday, I'd like to invite you all to come check out our parents/friends performance in the KHS stadium at 6:30 PM. Student call time is 6 PM in black shorts, black shirts and athletic or marching shoes. Should be a good time!

Next Tuesday will be our first evening rehearsal from 5-8 PM. The plan right now is to have a run through of the show at the beginning of rehearsal and then students fitted for uniforms essentially from 6-8 PM. Any parents willing to help with uniforms are encouraged to email me with your intentions. Having 4-8 parents helping out would be great! My email is skrall@kunaschools.org
