*Google calendars are now available! Select your school's Google calendar beside the "Calendars" link. At the bottom of the Google calendar there is a +GoogleCalendar you can select to connect your personal Google calendar with the band Google calendar. Event updates will be automatic once the calendar is connected. Students will also have pass-off assignments connected automatically once they enroll in their Google Classroom and add their school's Google Calendar. We hope this allows clear communication and advanced planning abilities to all families involved with our bands.
