AHS Band Weekly Update - November 7, 2022

PLAYOFF GAME FOOTBALL ITINERARY

Greetings Eagle Family! It’s time for this week’s update for November 7, 2022. We’ve got everything you need to know about this week right here.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL GAME: The football team has advanced to playoff rounds. We will play Deer Park High School on Friday November 11. It is an AWAY game at Abshire Stadium on the Deer Park High School South campus. The address is located in the itinerary on the main band website - www.atascocitaband.com

THURSDAY REHEARSAL 3:15 to 6:00: So that we can prepare for a new show for the game. We have a lot of new stand tunes we want to hand out to everyone and play through, And we also want to make our drill on the field and practice the new show that we will do for Friday. Therefore, we do need the full time on Thursday. We can do everything we need to do with just one rehearsal this week, so Monday Tues and Weds, there are no after school rehearsals those days. 

TUESDAY STUDENT HOLIDAY: Tuesday, students are off from school. Staff will still be here for a workday.

There is no Booster meeting this week or the next week.
