AMB WEEKLY UPDATE 4/28/2025
Greetings Eagle Family! Better late than never, I always say. We started our classroom placement evaluations this week at the high school, and we will start our 8th grade evaluations next week. We had a jammed packed week last week, and we are slowly but surely reaching the finish line of wrapping up an absolutely amazing school year! Special thank you to the Booster parents who organized our annual AHS Band Banquet at Kingwood Country Club. It was a beautiful event, and it was fun celebrating with all of our amazing band students. (I got to jam too - that was fun!) I have some important items for everyone, so please make sure that you read everything below. IF YOU MISSED ORIENTATION: It’s okay! We have a make-up day available. Monday May 5th at 6PM or 7PM (you can choose the time), you can come by the AHS Band Hall and get your orientation packet for next year’s marching band. All students must come with your parents so that everyone can receive all of the same information. JAZZ BAND: You are not required to audition if you don’t want to, but if you’re interested in maybe playing saxophone trumpet or trombone as a secondary instrument in a jazz class, or you are just interested in playing jazz at all as a guitar, piano, or bass player, click the link below to sign up. https://forms.gle/nr2JZBQAGUdzX2kY6 APPLIED MUSIC: Interested in taking Applied Music next year?
