We NEED YOUR HELP!!!
This year, we have some events lined up, but we can’t do it alone. If you have mad talents, skills or just a heart to help – we would love to have you on our team!
We’re looking for:
- Event Coordinators to help lead specific activities
- Volunteers to support before, during and after events
- Behind-the-scenes helpers for planning, setup, fundraising, and more!
Bringing these opportunities to our band students and community is going to be an incredible experience – and it will be event better with YOU involved!
Email gphsbandboosters@gmail.com for more details and info
The 2025-26 GPHS Band Handbook is now available on our website!
Please take some time to review the Band Handbook. Students will need to turn in their commitment contracts to Mr. Morris.
Band Fees This Year:
- Pays for field trips and other costs associated with performance travel. Rather than ask for fees one at a time, we’ve calculated the total cost to members for a one-time fee. The cost to members of Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Percussion Ensemble and Jazz Bands is $30. Wind Ensemble fees are $90.
Sign Up for Grizzly Band this year!
The Grizzly Band is more than just a band—it’s a community that builds school pride and supports our teams at all home football games, select basketball games, and community parades. If you’re a student at GPHS, you’re invited to join the fun and excitement of the Grizzly Band! Let’s make some unforgettable memories together!
