New Band Parents Break Records! (and websites)

Our Website is on FIRE!

Because increased traffic at our website in the past week overloaded their servers, the company which hosts us shut it down, fearing an attack by hackers! During the process of fixing it, I confirmed that the spike came from within our geographic area since last night.

Way to go AMHS Band Parents! In 30+ years working on computers, servers and websites, this is the first time I have been proud when my stuff got broken.

Many thanks to all of the new and returning band families who attended last night’s BPA meeting. To provide reference to those who could not attend, we ran out of chairs in the choir room and had to find more. It is encouraging to see so many who want to support our students in their musical aspirations. Together, we can ensure their success and build positive experiences and memories for a lifetime.
