Congratulations to Winter Drumline on an incredible performance at ADLA Championships and an outstanding season!! The Winter Drumline finished 5th place overall with a score of 87.75. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication by our students, staff, and PARENTS! Can you believe that just last year we rebooted the Winter Drumline after a 14 year hiatus? We started in Scholastic B, were promoted to Scholastic A, and this year continued that growth in Scholastic Open with our strongest performance yet. Stay tuned for information about drumline and front ensemble workshops and auditions for the 2015-16 season!!
WINTER GUARD
WGASC Championships are this Saturday, April 25th at Edison High School (21400 Magnolia Ave. Huntington Beach, CA). Come support the award-winning Winter Guard and watch their 2015 production, entitled "Kites" in their final championship performance!!
OUTSTANDING DONATIONS
Make sure all outstanding donations and obligations for marching band, drumline, and guard have been turned in. We are unable to pay our staff without these funds. In addition to purchasing a Gahr ASB Card, all students should have turned in a $25 transportation fee to Gahr High School ASB. Students will not be able to go to grad night, prom, or graduate without meeting these obligations.
CASH4SHOOZ!
Spring cleaning? Have more shoes than a shoe store?? We’re collecting old & used shoes from now until the end of April! Rubber-band or tie each pair of matching shoes together and put them into a trash bag.
