Calling all Band Alumni
Attention all PVHS Band Alumni and Students, we have created a Registration Page where you can now register your contact information with us. We would like to keep in contact with our alumni and students by periodically sending you information on what is going on at PV with the different bands. Please sign up now so you can begin receiving updates from "The Pride of Paradise
Band Scholarship
The BPO Executive Committee is creating an account to be used for aScholarship Fund. The scholarship fund will be available to assist band members who require financial assistance for extra-curricular activities. Seniors and anyone not returning to band next year who have extra money in their Student Account at year end can direct the extra money to this account. Any extra money left in a student account after graduation can be transferred within the band, but not returned; many times this money comes to the band in the form of an Arizona State Tax Credit to be used for extra-curricular activities. Many students do not specify what to do with their extra money, and it tends to remain in that account forever. This is a chance to help out a fellow band member and to make a difference long after you have graduated. In fact, band parents and
graduates may choose to continue sending AZ Tax Credits to the PVHS band, to be placed in the Scholarship Fund. In the near future, the BPO Executive Committee will establish criteria for requesting scholarship assistance.
Contact Mrs. Thompson or
Ms Schmitt to discuss how you can redirect the extra money in your account.
Band Student Account Update
For Band Student Account balances, please contact Ms. Schmitt so she can provide you a printout of your account upon request.
