Hi Parents!
For marching band/concert band and guard, there are three important dates each summer:
Important information is provided to parents and students every summer in the annual "Big Band" Meeting. This year's Big Band meeting was on July 15, 2026.
Registration and uniform fitting is a required in-person event at Patrick Henry. Registration and uniform fitting was on July 17 and July 18.
Summer Workshop (= "band camp"). This year, the Summer Workshop is July 20 - July 31, 2026. Check the calendar on our home page, which will be updated with the latest scheduling information, as it becomes available.
If your student participates in choir or orchestra:
Choir and orchestra organizational meetings will take place in August after school starts. Check our music program Google Calendar for scheduling information.
We ask parents of all music department students to register each year through an online form.
*** Here is the online registration form! ***
Please complete it today!
The annual Big Band meeting was on July 15. A large (paper) information packet was distributed.
For marching band and guard students, the information packet contains paper versions of permission and waiver forms that need to be filled out, signed, and filed with the PHHS office.
Band and guard students turned in their signed permission and waiver forms at the registration and uniform fitting event on July 17-18.
*** If your family missed the Registration and Uniform fitting event (and also did not turn in the signed waiver forms), then please email info@spiritof76boosters.com ASAP so that we can make alternative arrangements! ***
Marching band students will need to purchase special Marching Socks and Marching Shoes. "B-shirts" are highly recommended but not required.
Your child will need:
Polo-shirt - Polo shirts (often called "B shirts") are worn for Pep Band games and other community events. They are not required, but highly recommended. Order using the Spirit Wear Store link.
Marching Socks - Available in the Spirit Wear Store.
Dinkles (Marching Shoes) - Use either link to purchase one pair of black shoes. We have samples in the Music Room that students can try on before ordering. You may order from either site (Band Shoes Online or Amazon). It's your choice where to order from.
Clothing items and socks
See our Volunteers page to learn about different types of volunteer opportunities, and to download a packet with the forms that are needed by the school district.
The success of Patrick Henry's large portfolio of music programs is due to our amazing music director, a wonderful and talented group of young adults, and you - the parents and caregivers. Because school district funding covers only a small portion of our programs' costs, the Spirit of '76 Boosters coordinate many fundraising activities throughout the year.
