Student AND Parent Meeting – MRHS Auditorium – 8:00 AM
This meeting is for at least one parent for each current and future student in the Marching Band.

Parent Social and Q&A – 9:00 AM
After Mr. Vogel’s meeting, stay for a parent social sponsored by the MRHS Band-Aides. Here you can meet other Band families, meet other parents in your “section,” explore opportunities to serve, and have a great time connecting with new friends!
