Welcome, Marching Band Parents!

Welcome to the Ashley Ridge High School Marching Band family! We are thrilled to have you join us on this exciting journey filled with music, friendship, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you're a seasoned band parent or new to the world of marching band, we're here to support each other and ensure that every student has an enriching and rewarding experience.

Your Role as a Band Parent:

As a band parent, your involvement is invaluable to the success of our program. Whether you're helping with uniform fittings, chaperoning events, or cheering from the sidelines, your support makes a difference. We encourage you to get involved, ask questions, and participate in band activities whenever possible.

Important Information:

  • Parent Registration Form: Please take the time to fill out the Parent Registration form. This allows us to communicate with you in a manner that fits your busy schedule.

  • Calendar of Events: Stay up-to-date with upcoming rehearsals, performances, competitions, and other band events. You can subscribe to the Marching Band calendar here.

  • Volunteer Opportunities: Discover ways to get involved and contribute your time and talents to support our marching band.

Your fair share contributions enable us to cover necessary expenses and invest in the future growth and development of our marching band. If you haven't already done so, we encourage you to fulfill your financial commitment to the marching band program. You can make your payment online here, or by depositing a check in the booster lockbox located in the band room, or by contacting our band treasurer for alternative payment options.
