GRADES: THIS IS THE FINAL WEEK FOR GRADES TO BE ENTERED. ANOTHER eligibility check will take place next week. Students have UP TO THIS FRIDAY to make sure that they have turned in all of their work and have at least above a 70 in all of their classes. Eligibility date will take place after the fall break.

FALL BREAK: This is a very important announcement. Every student in the band should have filled out a fall break notice contract. Every year, we have a fall break, and it always falls on top of very important events. Unlike previous years, THIS ONE FALLS ON EXACTLY THE WEEK OF UIL! Therefore, no student should leave Atascocita on vacation. We need every single student here on the fall break week so that we can have a competitive UIL this year. The rehearsals will be in the morning when the weather is cooler, kids can get the rehearsal out of the way, then go home and relax and enjoy the rest of their day.

REHEARSAL ATTENDANCE: Are strictly required for these next three weeks. We need everyone in attendance to finish strong and clean our show before competition.

Alternatively, any student who was previously ineligible can GAIN their eligibility back by the week 9 report card and participate with us at football games and contests again.

NEXT FOOTBALL GAME: October 10th is our next game, and it’s at Turner Stadium on the visiting side vs. Humble High School. AND - it’s our 8th grade night! We are super excited to see our future members this Friday, and we hope that they have a lot of fun! The itinerary has not changed - 5:00 depart from AHS, arrive at Turner around 5:30, in the stands by 6:10, game starts at 7:00, home around 10:30ish.

NEXT COMPETITION: Our next band competition is October 11th at Channelview ISD Ray Maddry Stadium. The itinerary for that contest has been posted and is on the website - www.atascocitaband.com This is a ranked competition that will determine a prelims and finals performance. Please review the itinerary entirely.
