Band Committee Meeting and AGM – Come along to hear what's happening in band

We hold a band committee meeting once per term. The term 1 meeting will be held on Monday 25 February at 6.45pm in the music room, combined with the band Annual General Meeting (AGM). At the AGM we appoint the 2019 committee members, then at the termly meeting we review the band's activities and plan upcoming band events. All band parents are welcome to attend any meeting, come along to catch up on what's happening in band and find out how you can help – remember, band is run by parent volunteers! We still have roles to fill for 2019, vacant roles include:  Co-Convener, Festivals Coordinator, Band Intensive Coordinator, Easter Breakfast Concert Coordinator, Band Camp Coordinator(s), End of Year Concert Coordinator. Many of these roles are not very time consuming and can be done in your own time to fit in around work and family commitments. Perhaps you can find a friend and share a role?
