Booster Meetings now on WEDNESDAY

Parents!  Please plan on attending the next booster meeting on August 11, 2010 at 7 PM at PHS. Meetings have been changed to Wednesday to accomodate a potential changes in our Bingo schedule.  This is your opportunity to find out more about the program, ask questions, and find out more about the upcoming marching season. 

 
BUTTER BRAID FUNDRAISER

Thank you to all who participated in the Butter Braid fundraiser.  Karyn Clark has graciously offered to meet the truck and distribute orders.  Please help her out by arriving at the school on Wednesday August 4th to pick up your order at 3:00pm!  If you can not meet Karyn at the school at 3:00pm, please contact Amber at 303-725-1845 or amnewk13@gmail.com to make other arrangements. 

 
General Fundraisers

All families are required to support the general fundraisers which contribute a significant amount of money to the general band fund.  The general band fund pays for instructors, instruments, instrument repair, equipment, transportation, and props!  Without a strong general fund, student fees would be much higher!  Please support Bandimere, Pomona Music Festival and Bingo!

 
Bingo

All students are assigned to work on Bingo teams and are required to staff Bingo 3-4 times per year.  Currently, our Bingo sessions are conducted on Friday nights.  Additonally, there are many opportunities for adults to join a team that staffs one night per month.  Without student AND adult support, Bingo cannot be a success.  If you are interested in joining an adult team or need more information, please contact Karyn Clark at klynclark933@yahoo.com .

  BANDIMERE SPEEDWAY

 

UPDATED 7/25/2010 at 9 PM

 

Thank you to everyone who participated in Mile High Nationals.

 

After a rocky start on Friday, we managed to pull our

 

Pomona Pride together and show what we can do as a team!

 

Thank you to everyone who participated!

 

See!!  It really was kinda fun!

 

As a result, there is a remote chance we can staff the

 

concession stand and the beer tent for PINKS on August 14th. 

 

The most up to date schedule is posted on the website.

 

Please look at the this schedule, and your schedule and let  us know if

 

you are interesting in working.

 

PINKS is broadcast on the SPEED network and draws a crowd

 

as big if not bigger than MHN! 

 

Luckily, it is only for one day.

 

Here's the catch....if it rains on August 14th, we need to have staff

 

in place that can work August 15th.

 

Consequently, we need to fill shifts AND contingency plans and we

 

need to do this SOON!

 

Contact Shelley Thrailkill, 303-588-3583 or realredshelley@comcast.net  

 or Annabelle Kowalski 303-940-7362 askski@comcast.net

An Award Winning Tradition 

 

The Pomona High School Band Program - 
Ed Roush, Band Director

  • Colorado Bandmaster's Association State Champions 11 Times
  • Three-time Colorado Music Educator's Association Honor Band 

The Pomona High School band program is recognized locally and nationally for its commitment to music excellence. From 1994 through 2005, the Pomona High School Marching Band was the Colorado Bandmaster's Association Class 5A State Champions 11 times. The students were also invited to march twice in both the world famous Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade and the London New Year's Day Parade.

In addition, the Pomona Symphonic Band was named a Colorado Music Educator's Association (CMEA) Honor Band three times since 2000. Lastly, the Pomona Winter Guard and Percussion Ensemble were 2004 WGI World Finalists. The band program also includes a wind ensemble concert band, two jazz             ensembles and an orchestra.


Pomona Arts and Humanities Program (PAH) 
Where the arts and academic achievement meet.

Pomona High School offers a unique program for students with creative talents and interests, who also want a demanding academic program. It is the Pomona Arts and Humanities (PAH) program, and many band students are members. Students select an artistic path - instrumental music, vocal music, visual arts, theater or a multi-path option – and then take core academic classes designed to promote a creative, hands-on, integrated approach to learning. Prior to graduation, students complete a capstone project demonstrating what they have learned in the PAH program.
 
The PAH program was developed based on research showing that on college entrance exams, students with an arts and humanities background out-performed students who did not take these types of classes. The research also showed the longer a student remained in an arts program, the better their results on college entrance exams. 
 
For more information on the PAH program, click on the Music Programs menu, and look for PAH in the drop-down menu or click here.
