MUSIC REQUEST
Absence Request Form
There is a new way to communicate and request absences from band events! Please use the "Absence Request Form" on our website (prideofgranbury.com) to communicate absences as early as possible. Please also read through our attendance policies to become familiar with what counts as an excused absence from a rehearsal.
EVERY absence must be entered into this form, even if you already talked to to emailed a director. This helps us keep an accurate record of attendance.
*This attendance is separate from the school attendance, and is used for band records only
From the Boosters
A link to the application can also be found here.

CALLING ALL BAND FAMILIES! We need you to sign up for a minimum of two concession shifts. Please utilize this link to sign up for your shifts
Corporate Sponsors
Calling all business owners!
The Pride of Granbury is in need of corporate sponsors for the upcoming school year! This is a great opportunity to get tons of advertising and help the band with expenses not covered by the district. The money we raise all goes back to the band and helps keep our program running. We need your help! See the corporate benefits in the picture below.
Amazon Wishlist
