The BAND app is a communication app that we will use to share important information and updates throughout the year. Every student and at least one guardian of each student will need separate accounts.

Respond to polls, acknowledgements, and event RSVPs when requested
Check BAND or website before contacting director with a general question.
You can message the director in BAND but email is the preferred form of communication.
Comments cannot be deleted from your group. This would require deleting the whole group and all its history and starting over.
The internet is forever. Anything you post, under the right circumstances, can be seen by anyone at anytime.
If you post something about someone, you should be comfortable saying it in front of them, their parents, your parents, the director, the principal, and the school board. If not, don't post it!
Feel free to ask questions in your groups that members may be able to answer.
Feel free to coordinate sectionals or share relevant information in your groups. Do not abuse this.
If you have a technical problem, please email me with your name, instrument/relationship, and a description on the problem. A relevant screenshot could also be helpful.
