[Dhsbb-jazz] Pep Band opportunities this weekend are NOT school sponsored

[Fredrick Lange]

Parents Please be advised:

The Pep Band has been asked to perform at 2 functions to be held this  
weekend for 2 DHS athletic teams.  I am pleased that the Cross Country  
and Water Polo teams appreciate our students'  talents but you should  
know that neither of these are OFFICIAL Pep Band functions.

A number of our students showed up at the Cross Country meet last year  
and were greatly appreciated.  The team has asked that these "PEPPY  
PEOPLE" show up again this year at their meet in Folsom on Saturday  
morning.

The official DHS PEP BAND WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING.  No credit will  
be given for student participation and no points will be lost if they  
choose not to do so.

The DHS Pep Band does not travel as a group.  This would require  
getting official permission from the school for a field trip, drivers  
liability  forms and permission slips. We have not done any of this  
preliminary work.

Students may play their own instruments any where they choose.  If  
they do so this is not considered a school activity and they do so at  
their own risk.

School activities require a Certificated Employee to be present and in  
charge.  I AM NOT GOING TO BE A PART OF EITHER OF THESE EVENTS.

If you allow your student to participate as one of these "PEPPY  
PEOPLE", be advised that school liability does not cover your student  
at either of these events.  I certainly don't expect there to be any  
danger whatsoever, but there will be parent drivers taking the  
students to Folsom.

I have allowed our Pep Band leader, Naomi Egel, to announce these  
opportunities in class, but it was made clear that this is NOT A  
SCHOOL SPONSORED ACTIVITY.
