AMB WEEKLY UPDATE 9/2/2025

Congratulations everyone on an amazing first game! We battled crazy traffic to get there, but we got it done! The half time show was great, and we really fired up the crowd in the stands! I’m already looking forward to the next one. We are adding new show content on the field this week and continuing with new drill learning, so it will be important for all students to be in attendance for after school rehearsal so that you will know what to do for the game this Friday.

4TH WEEK GRADES: Progress reports are going out this week. We are in week 4 of grades, so that means we have 3 weeks remaining until eligibility goes into effect. Reminder that Texas state law regarding no-pass-no-play applies to the 6th week. If a student fails a class on the 6th week of the grading period, they will be completely knocked out of eligibility to participate in the program. 

NEXT FOOTBALL GAME: This week, the band will perform on September 5th Friday vs. Katy High School as a home game at our Turner Stadium. Go to www.atascocitaband.com under Quick Links for the football game itinerary. A large portion of the itinerary is the exact same as last week, except we are home instead of away, and our departure/arrival times will be different.

ATTIRE FOR THE GAME: Same as previous game

• Red polo band shirt
• Black band shorts
• DSI MTX Black Marching Shoes

BUS LANE AFTER THE GAME: when picking your child up from the end of the football game at Atascocita High School, please make sure to not park in the bus lane. Multiple buses will be attempting to drive through to get to the band hall. We kindly ask all parents to park in parking spaces in the parking lot and not in the bus ramp.

REHEARSAL SCHEDULE AND CALENDAR: Since we had Labor Day weekend and a game on Friday, our schedule this week has been altered slightly. Here are the new times:

• Tuesday 5:00 to 8:30
• Wednesday no rehearsal
• Thursday 5:00 to 8:30
• Friday game day
• Saturday no rehearsal

The rehearsal schedule up to the end of marching and football season can be found at our website: www.atascocitaband.com and click on CALENDAR. 

CONCESSION STANDS: PARENTS - WE NEED YOUR HELP. The Boosters will be sending out information soon regarding concession stand volunteer sign up. We are kindly asking for each family to at least sign up for at least two or three concession stand spots each year. Volunteering for the concession stands is an expectation of the program (in the same way of being a snack parent or dugout mom/dad for little league baseball). We always need serious help. We understand that some families are not in a situation where they can sign up, but there are so many ways that you can still help! Email [email protected] for more information.

MARCHING SHOES: All marching band students are required to wear this specific shoe on the field. It is the MTX marching band shoe by the DSI company. For the game this Friday, all students will be required to wear these shoes to pass inspection and be eligible to march the show on the field. If you are behind and haven't purchased these shoes for the uniform, you have time to do an Amazon delivery before next week's Friday game.
