Welcome, Incoming AMHS Musicians and Parents!

Posted on by

We are excited to have you on board for another great year!

On this website, you will find the BPA and AMHS Bands activity calendar just below and to the right.  At the WELCOME link above, you will find your way to the AMHS BAND HANDBOOK which contains much useful information (currently under revision for 2013-14).

Please register on our website to join not just our mailing lists, but our interactive messaging forum.  The MEMBERS link above will take you there.  Use your FIRST AND LAST name to register (not “BandMom96″ or other nicknames), and provide the name of your student.  (Students, just indicate that you are a student and your instrument).  Each member of the family that participates should have their own account (as opposed to a “the-joneses“), so everyone knows exactly with whom they are communicating.  Registration info, names, etc. are not accessible to non-approved visitors or guests, who may only view the ANNOUNCEMENTS section.  Once we have verified that you have an incoming student, we will activate your account and send a welcome email.

We are also connected to social media!  The icons to the right will take you to our RSS, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages, where you can subscribe or follow and get information as soon as it is posted to the ANNOUNCEMENTS section.  Our calendar is also compatible with most popular calendar programs, including Outlook, iCalendar and Google-calendar, allowing you to subscribe and keep synced at all times.

We are looking forward to another great year, and thank you for being a part of it.  If you have any questions or difficulty registering, please use the CONTACT link above to send us an email.
