Hello,
Time for an update as we're getting close to our final concert and graduation:
- Enjoy a 3 day weekend!
- On Monday we'll have our Band Rehearsal in preparation for our final concert. Time will be 3-6 PM in the KPAC. Jazz Bands will rehearse first, then Concert Band, Wind Ensemble and finally ALL students will rehearse our graduation music. Thank you for being there!
- On Thursday we'll have our Final Band Concert of the year. Call time for students is 6 PM with the concert beginning at 7 PM. Free Admission for the concert in the KPAC. We'll be recognizing our Seniors and Band Letter Winners at the concert.
- Please fill out a band handbook in preparation for next year: https://forms.gle/PfVVR1QqeLvWYTaA9
- The band will be performing at KHS Graduation at the Idaho Center on Thursday, May 22nd. Students will meet in the band room at 12:20 PM in band polos, black pants, socks and shoes to get on buses to go to the Idaho Center. Once at the Idaho Center we will setup and rehearse to prepare for the ceremony. Graduation begins at 2:30 PM. All students (except for Seniors) will take the bus back to the school following graduation in order to unload equipment/instruments. Estimated finish time at KHS would be 5-5:30 PM. Seniors are likely to be at the Idaho Center before the band departs at 11:30 AM, so plan on having your instrument with you at the Idaho Center (or have a friend bring yours for you). That way you are prepared to play Celebrata at Graduation.
- Lastly, check out our exciting music for our 2025 marching band show! Printed music will be ready for students within the next week or so, so please get those handbooks turned ASAP! Paint it Black - Fannin Musical Productions

Hello All,
Thank you for a great concert last night! Students, you did a great job and really pulled together this last week! Let's keep the momentum in class as we come back after break.
I hope you take some time to get some rest and relaxation in over the next couple of weeks. Of course, pulling out your instrument and enjoying some practice time would be good too! Thank you for all of your efforts in a busy first semester in band.
When we get back from break we'll be working on some new music with an emphasis on sight-reading. We'll also be preparing to play at basketball games starting January 16th. We will be splitting the band into two groups and have 4 games required for students to attend. Of course, if you'd like to participate in all the games, please feel free to do so (it's been cool to see that in the past!).
The roster for our two pep bands, as well as the schedule can be found here on our website: https://www.kunabands.com/kuna-pep-bands.html
These will also be input into the Kuna Bands calendar as well.
Enjoy your break and see you in a bit!

Hello Everyone!
We're coming up on the winter months and that means it's time for Indoor Percussion! Simply, Kuna Indoor Percussion (or KIP) is an opportunity for students to create music (and even march), while playing percussion instruments. This is similar to taking the drumline and front ensemble from marching band and putting them inside the gym and playing a show. This is open for all students whether you currently play percussion or not (rehearsals are after school).
Last year, Jazzy Graves, Oliver Alverson and Tanner Hosely did a fantastic job at getting KIP started with performances in February, March and April. They will all return again this year! KIP is for ANY student interested in playing percussion. We will have an informational meeting on Thursday, November 14th at 5:30 PM in the KHS Band Room. Come check it out even if you're not completely sure about it yet.
Additionally, we will have audition days open for students to come check things out and learn some percussion basics. Those dates and time are here:
Nov. 14 (6-8:30 PM)
Nov. 19 (5:30-8:30 PM)
Nov. 20 (5:30-8:30 PM)
Nov. 21 (5:30-8:30 PM)
Feel free to email me with any questions you may have- we'd love to see the group continue to grow and include more students!

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for all your support and your fantastic efforts over the last few weeks! We're hitting the end of marching season and it's a very exciting time for the band. I just wanted to send an email that catches all of the events and details for the next couple of weeks.

In addition to the performance, we'll recognize the students, celebrate their season and check out the photos and video from throughout the year.

Hello All,
First of all, great performance on Saturday! I'm so happy that we keep growing and progressing this late into the season!
Exciting news- we have a HOME football game this Friday! This game came about due to the games that were played last Friday and our team has a chance to get into the playoffs. This is a great chance for us to share our show one more time before we get to D3 on Saturday.
Plan on being at KHS at 6 PM on Friday to get into uniform (with cowboy hats!) and warmup. We will perform our entire show at halftime (with all the bells and whistles).
My goal is to have us done as quickly as possible on Friday night so that you have time to go home, rest and be prepared for our final competition on Saturday (call time 1:15 PM).
Lastly, here's a link to the sign up for lunch for this Saturday: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F044FADAB2AA6FB6-52514060-d3lunch
Thank you all for your support and pushing on to the end of the season! Our opportunities to improve are almost running out- see you at rehearsal!

Thank you parents and students for supporting a successful Kuna Marching Invitational yesterday! It's incredible how much support you provide to the band! I received many compliments yesterday on our hosting of the marching competition.
This week we have a few events- tomorrow morning we will be hosting the 8th graders from KMS and FMS at the KHS Stadium. We will perform our show (in uniform) for them and showcase the fun that we're having with the show this season. Bringing your marching shoes and long black socks to school would be great. I want to apologize for not sharing more about this event ahead of time- the KMI took much of my efforts the last few weeks. Call time for students tomorrow is 9:30 AM (I know many of you have a band class at that time) and we should be done by 11 AM. I have sent an email to the front office to let them know of your attendance. Swan Falls students will unfortunately have to be responsible for their own transportation if necessary.
We have 4 after school practices for the rest of the season- we get two of them this week on Tuesday and Thursday. Please be in attendance to these rehearsals in order to perform at the upcoming competitions.
I'm currently working on our itinerary for Saturday. We will be traveling to Vallivue High School for a competition. I can have that itinerary to you by the end of the day tomorrow.
Thank you for all that you do and your incredible support. Incredibly, we have two weeks left in the season and only a few more chances to improve and put our best out on the field!

Hello Parents and Students,
I'm looking forward to tonight's halftime performance- our Senior's last home football game! Parents/families are invited to join their Senior on the track at the beginning of halftime.
Tomorrow's rehearsal (9am-1pm) is going to also be great along with Saturday's competition at Caldwell High School (call time 9am)
Also on the radar is our 2nd marching competition of the year which we host: the Kuna Marching Invitational (KMI) on October 12th (next Saturday).
In order to make a large event like the KMI work it takes many hands- staff, students and parents! If you'd like to get involved there are some specific roles to sign up for via this signup genius LINK. There may be other opportunities to help out as well in addition to what is listed. If you sign up or are interested in helping regardless of the role, please attend our KMI Band Parent Meeting next Tuesday at 7:30 PM in the band room. We'll go over the details of these roles and set up some other opportunities to help on October 12th as well.
I've also attached a poster that you can spread on social media that advertises the KMI.
Lastly, please note that due to daylight hours shortening at this time of year, we will adjust our evening rehearsals to be from 4-7 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning next week. That's just a reality each year until we can get lighting on our practice field.

Hello Parents and Students,
The online store for parents, families, friends and students to purchase additional band gear is open! Students do not need to purchase anything- they will already be receiving a band polo and a band show t shirt. Many students choose to purchase items for fun, or simply so they have multiple shirts to use for performances.
Spread the word and get your gear!

Hello Students and Parents,
What a great job at the D3 Band Festival at Vallivue High School! Both the Concert Band and Wind Ensemble represented our program SO well. I'm so proud of the efforts of all students in your practice time, sectionals and class rehearsals. I hope that you learned a lot during this concert cycle which included festivals, clinics and concerts. We're now going to move on to some fun and exciting music these last few weeks of the semester as we prepare for a final concert in May!
In the meantime, we have some other exciting events coming up:

Both high school jazz bands will perform as well as the jazz bands from FMS and KMS. Concert attire is band polos and black pants/shoes/socks.

Wind Ensemble and Wind Ensemble Percussion students will participate in that concert by playing a combined piece with the orchestra near the end of the concert.

Later this week I will be sending out information about the following: Section Leader/Drum Major Applications and Interviews for next year, Jazz 1 Auditions and Applications for next year, Wind Ensemble Auditions and Applications for next year, Band Letter information and application for this year.

Hello Parents and Students,
Wind Ensemble and Wind Ensemble Percussion is coming up on its joint concert with the College of Idaho next Thursday and I have some details to share about that concert!
Call time for the concert is 5:30 PM at College of Idaho's Jewett Auditorium in Caldwell. Concert attire will be our best concert black. I would recommend parents taking students to the event and then staying for the concert. There is free parking available in the lots on campus (no parking police is my understanding). I have not scheduled a bus for this event.
At 5:30 PM we will gather at Jewett Auditorium and set up instruments. Some large percussion equipment will be provided, but percussionists will have smaller instruments assigned to them to take to the concert. At 6 PM we will be fortunate enough to have Dr. Strother (band director at College of Idaho) work with our group. That clinic will conclude around 7 PM and the concert will begin at 7:30 PM. There will be free admission at the concert.
I'm so excited to get this chance to play on a college concert, work with a college director and see a college band perform!

Hello Parents and Students,
I wanted to send a quick note and say thank you Wind Ensemble and Percussion for an absolutely amazing performance at today's Veteran's Day Assembly. It was incredible and exciting to have that opportunity to share a performance with Veterans, the school and the community.
I've been working closely with our percussion instructor, Jazzy Graves and we have made plans to have an indoor percussion group this winter. It will be open to all percussion students AND any band students who want to participate. There will be auditions/open gym time this upcoming Monday and Thursday (5-8pm both days) where you can work with Jazzy and audition for the group. More information on the ensemble can be found here: https://www.kunabands.com/kuna-percussion.html
Let me know if you have further questions about Kuna Indoor Percussion. Thank you!

Hello Students and Parents!
First of all, what a great weekend! Students- you did a great job and had a fantastic first competition performance at Caldwell! Looking forward to see where we go from here!
This week is unique. We have our regular Tuesday rehearsal from 5-8 PM. Tuesday evening at 7 PM we will have a parent meeting to prepare for hosting the competition at our school on Saturday.
There is no school on Thursday, so we will have our Thursday rehearsal from 8 AM to 11 AM.
Thursday evening is a football game. Call time is 6 PM. Please show up in the appropriate attire and place your water bottle in the stands prior to call time.
On Saturday we HOST the Kuna Marching Invitational. If you're not planning on helping out at the show, we do have tickets available for purchase: https://www.showpass.com/kuna-marching-invitational-23/
Student call time for Saturday is 10 AM. I've attached our itinerary for the competition to this email email. Students, please expect to either help with various tasks at the KMI or be an awesome audience member for the other bands! We will feed students lunch and then get ready for our own performance at the end of the show. Lastly, we'll all work together and clean up after the awards presentation. I'd imagine we're done around 4:40 PM.

Hello Parents and Students,
I finally have specific times and information for our Caldwell Competition which is next Saturday, September 30th! Students are asked to show up in parade attire (gym shorts, long black socks, and show shirts) with water and instruments by 10:15 AM. We will warmup and prepare for the show at the high school then provide students with lunch before we head to Caldwell.
Once we get to Caldwell High School we will get ready for the performance. Tickets are available through the link to the website on the itinerary. Parents are very welcome to come enjoy the show! After our performance we will provide a snack to students and then watch the remaining bands and the ensuing awards ceremony. If students need more than the provided snacks, concessions are available at Caldwell High School. Following the show we pack up and leave as a band to return to KHS. Students are expected to stay for the entirety of the day until we return to KHS.
Here's the link to the itinerary which is available on our band's website: https://www.kunabands.com/kuna-gold-band-and-guard.html
If you'd be interested in helping out, please email me and let me know. Normally we're looking for some parents to do double-duty and be chaperones (ride the buses/sit in the stands with students) and equipment movers at the same time. There will likely be a signup sheet for lunch coming around as well. More info to come soon on that.
Thank you for all of your support of your students! It's a great time of year as we really get to see students' effort come to fruition in building a great (and more complete) marching band show!

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!

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 [email protected]
