The Patriot Field Tournament was a huge success!  Thank you to everyone who helped to make it run smoothly!

Now it's time for the season to really begin!  Our first competition is this Saturday at Norco High School , come out and support the Regiment.  The latest info sheets will be located on the documents page the week of each competition.  

Jojo's Pizza night is coming up next Thursday, come hang out and eat some of the best pizza in the world. 

Parents/Guardians please encourage your students to organize their time.  Now that the competitive season has began it is important that students manage their time accordingly in order to fulfill their academic obligations as well as PCR obligations. We rehearse about 8 hours a week after school  but that means students will have over 30 hours each week when they are NOT in rehearsal.

Parents: the end of rehearsal is when the students actually stop practicing. Then there are announcements by Mr. Moreno. Then the students walk from the field (about 1/4 mile) to put away their instruments. They may also have a meeting with their section. You should plan on them actually being done for the day about 15-30 minutes from the end of rehearsal time. Section leaders and drum major usually have a meeting with Mr. Moreno after rehearsal which may last a little longer. Thank you for your understanding.
