AMB WEEKLY UPDATE 5/12/2025

Greetings Eagle Family! 2 more weeks! We are ramping up to the end!

Evaluations have taken place, and the results of band placement have been posted. No matter what band you make, every member of the organization is a part of the state championship award-winning Atascocita HS Military Band (AMB). The BAND App received a letter from me discussing how evaluations should be considered now that results are posted.

PERFORMING ARTS HONOR SOCIETY: On May 13, our band student Jayna Kagezi is working on putting together a new honors society here at AHS with several other students. This organization will be called the Performing Arts Honor Society. A flyer will be posted below for more information. Their first meeting will be Tuesday May 13th 3:00 to 3:30 in the Black Box Theatre. Deadline to apply for the Performing Arts Honor Society is Friday May 16th.
