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 lead specific activities
- Volunteers to support before, during, and after events
- Helpers for planning, setup, fundraising, and more behind the scenes!
Bringing these opportunities to our band students and community will be an incredible experience – and it will be even better with YOU involved!

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 lively community that builds school pride and supports our teams at all home football games, selected basketball games, and community parades. If you’re a GPHS student, you’re invited to join the fun and excitement with the Grizzly Band! Let’s create unforgettable memories together!
