MARCHING BAND - HOW WE COMMUNICATE WITH YOU

 

REMIND
Remind will be used as we begin the school year, and all freshmen student accounts are set up. This will be used to message out logistics and reminders throughout the season to the students in the band. 

​

CUT TIME

CutTime is our membership database where we can manage your information while you are a member of the VJA Bands. This platform is where we handle your financial accounts, including payments and fundraising accounts. Most importantly, this is how we communicate with you via email/text. You’ll receive emails/texts from the directors and members of our music parent board regarding updates, various other topics, and trips throughout the year. We ask that you verify your information with one of our parents before leaving the meeting. Once all your information is entered into CutTime, you will receive a welcome message to join. 

 

SOCIAL MEDIA

Facebook - We have two Facebook pages. One that is a public “LIKE” page at www.facebook.com/vjabands. The public page is where we share accomplishments, successes, and memories for you to share as a member of the program.

We also have a closed group at www.facebook.com/groups/vjabands. You have to request to join and answer the questions. The closed group is more logistical in nature and is another place to receive information about the goings-on of the program. During the marching season, we post lots of photos in the group.

​

Instagram - Feel free to follow VJA Bands on Instagram. It’ll have the same posts as the public Facebook page.
