CAMP COMMUNICATION
COMMUNICATION:
Student Communication -- "REMIND": The Drum Majors use the "REMIND" messaging service to communicate directly with your student. Please check with your student to make sure they are on the current Marching Rams Remind.
Email:
- From Director Bram Smith: For band program updates, Mr. Smith primarily uses "Charms" -- a music education data system. The sender will appear as "Riverside High School Band - Charms Office"
- From Riverside High School Band Boosters: Booster communicates either through "Charms," or info@riversidebandboosters.org (Boosters officers may also send out emails with the "riversidebandboosters.org" domain name. e.g., @vp@riversidebandboosters.org)
