Why use Twitter to follow the band???
This will be another avenue by which we can further close the gap on communicating to students and parents
about important dates and events. Our web page gives you information about the band program which includes general
announcements but our twitter account can get you immediate information and changes. For example, if we are on a trip or at
a game, I can get out vital information to parents concerning changes in an itinerary via my cell phone. Just make
sure you have your twitter account set up to receive text updates on you cell phone.
