Memory Book

Memory Book Orders And Personalized Pages Due

Don’t forget to create your personalized pages if you ordered a custom memory book!

Log in to Treering Yearbooks 

The deadline for creating the custom pages or ordering a standard memory book if you haven’t done so already has been extended to 11:59 p.m., Jan. 21, 2024. If you still need to order a standard book, here is the link.

https://form.jotform.com/Masonbands/MemoryBooks

Remember, you should order the book from the Jotform and not through Treering directly because it saves you the sales tax. If you pay Treering directly, it should only be if you are ordering extra custom pages, and then you only pay for the extra pages, not the whole book itself.

For detailed instructions how to create your custom pages, see this link.

Pep Band

2024 Pep Band Information

We are excited to get our Pep Band season started! Pep band is a great way to play some fun music with your friends, while supporting our school and community. 

CLICK HERE FOR SCHEDULE, BAND LISTS, AND MORE INFO! 

This year, each member of Concert Winds, Symphonic Band, and Wind Symphony will again be responsible for two basketball games as part of their grade for the Spring Semester. Some years this is a three game requirement, but due to the busy Rose Parade year, we have restructured to do the same amount of games with each student only needing to attend two games to respect your busy schedule. For all students in Concert White, Silver and Green pep band is not required but students are welcome and encouraged to attend if they want to visit with their friends and perform to support our school and community!
