Where to find band calendar and how to stay informed?
Band calendar can be found by clicking at Calendar in the website menu. Underneath the calendar, there are banners linking to recent past events where you can find event photos. Most of the events are only for band parents/guardians. So password is needed to enter the page. Request for your password here.
The band uses a self-managed email group to allow parents/guardians to sign up or leave the band communications at any time. This is the main way to stay informed and more importantly getting event specific details and instructions, e.g. band review preparation checklist, event parking, where are our kids in hourly basis, etc. So this is an operational communication. As a band parent/guardian, you are very much encouraged to sign up here. We send 2 to 3 emails per event while hourly update is done via Instagram Hourly Update account @schsbandtrip (Hourly updates normally will be deleted 3 days after the event for students' safety and privacy purposes.)
Other ways to stay informed include our Facebook Page and Instagram account @santacruzhsband

What are band boosters, and how to know them?
Band boosters are band parents and guardians who do everything to help the band students learn, grow, perform, and be successful. If you can make or deliver food or snacks, you are one of the band boosters. If you can stitch broken uniforms, you are a band boosters. Band boosters are asked to volunteer to support the band by driving, donating food, chaperoning band reviews, helping with uniforms & equipment, and participating in fundraising.
Your kid and band students need you. Be part of the 100-year long legacy (see picture) band and band booster club since 1925. No school band in Cali lasts longer than the Cardinal Band. Your participation already makes record every day. Let us know you here.
How to know band boosters? Band boosters club meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month at the Band Room. Just walk in and say hi!

What is a band review, how to participate (even from your office desk)?
Band Reviews include parade, concert and color guard performance and competitions. Some Reviews include competitions for drum majors, percussion, and even indoor concerts. In the afternoon there is usually an awards ceremony. A Band Review is a very full day away from home. We travel early in the morning and return home late in the day.
Few days before the band review or band trip, band parents are informed by Facebook Page, Instagram feed, and emails. Only band emails contain event operational details including when to meet at where, suggested bed time the night before, how much to eat and drink in the morning, and volunteering needs for band parents to sign up.
And then the band website and Instagram Hourly Update account @schsbandtrip starts posting students updates during the course of the event. In 2022 band trip to Disneyland, the Hourly Update account ran for 5 day! Sometimes we live stream band performance on Facebook Page. If you are one of the chaperones for the event, there will be on-site coordination as well.
Soon after the event, photos or videos will be ready for all band students and parents in the Media Library on the band website. Media Library is dedicated to take great photos of your child. You are also very much encouraged to take photos or videos for the band events. Contact John.
