District 196 Community Education

A fun way to connect with other band students and keep up your playing skills throughout the summer. Also, a great opportunity for 6^th grade band students to meet the VMSS band teachers and learn their way around the school building. Going on vacation or have a conflict? No worries! Just come to the days you can. If you are participating in Summer Academy, no worries, you can still participate. Music will be provided. Pops Band will take place at Apple Valley High School due to construction at VMSS.

Registration fee is $48. For families qualifying for the educational benefits program, the fee is $24. All students (including Summer Academy students) participating in 6th Grade Summer Pops need to pay the fee to participate.
