Next Saturday we will be hosting our home AIA Winterguard/ Indoor Drumline show! This is a big fundraiser for us and volunteers (both students and parents) are needed throughout the day. We have many adult slots that already need to be filled.

https://www.signupgenius.com/…/30E0A4BACAC2DAAFD0…

A few things as you all are signing up:

Adult vs. Student: Some slots are designated for students and others for adults. Please select the appropriate one when signing up.

PARENTS: Adult presence is important at these shows for two main reasons: 1) Students are not permitted to handle the money, and 2) I never want to have a student be put in the position of telling an adult what to do. Parents of students participating in our indoor programs are expected to sign-up. If you are free to help with both shifts, please do.

Concessions: If you are unable to volunteer the day of, but still want to help, you can donate food/drinks for our concessions stand. Please see the link here: https://www.signupgenius.com/…/10C094DAFAB2DA4F4CF8…

Each year, the SCHS Band hosts a silent auction as part of the Annual Lorton Holiday Extravaganza & Craft Fair held at South County High School the first Saturday of December.  ​​Nearly 5,000 shoppers converge on the SCHS campus for a day of shopping, entertainment, and holiday fun!
This year’s Silent Auction and Annual Lorton Holiday Extravaganza was held on December 7th and was a huge success, and we met our fundraising goal!

Thank you to all who helped make the Invitational a great day. We were so lucky to have so many amazing bands join us. Best of luck to all of you as you complete your season!

On September 14th our SOCO Performing Arts students took to the neighborhoods asking for your support! There is still time to donate! Any help is MUCH appreciated! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=9T36GH5FLE7HJ&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaahEESsxyVMu0hwRGHUcekcbtkIENmW-h0TkqxJfdapo3sT6F9V_MoiKz0_aem_u88s0dpN1SQkZOrIxKE41w

Parents and Guardians!  Did you know that you are a band booster?  All parents and guardians with a student in a band or guitar class at South County, or with a student participating in any of the extracurricular band programs, is automatically part of the boosters.  This year we’re holding general booster meetings quarterly that are open to all parents and guardians to attend.  The first meeting will be next week – it’s a great opportunity to ask questions and be involved!
