TUESDAY - SPRING CONCERT: Please join us on Tuesday for our annual Spring Concert featuring all of our high school band students. Concert is free admission, and it starts at 6:30PM. PARENTS: We encourage all parents and family to attend what will be the final performance for a lot of band students this year, and including the seniors, which for some will be their final performance as a high school student.
All band students - your call time for the concert is no later than 5:45PM. We will need the Concert Band on stage, and the other three bands will be in the auditorium with their instruments. We will give instructions once everyone is here in the band hall. Concert attire is your UIL blacks from your April contest - black shirt, black dress pants, black socks, black shoes. If you are a senior, you are permitted to wear your prom outfits (you don’t have to, but if you want to, you can). WEDNESDAY - BAND REGISTRATION MAKE-UP DAY: May 15, 2024 from 5pm to 8pm. The flier said the 13th, and that was a goof on my part. It should be on the 15th on the Wednesday. The registration only takes about 15 minutes of time. It’s super quick this year. If you received a letter, we need to make sure that we get you in for the band next year. Please make plans on being there if you were not able to previously. FRIDAY - VARSITY BAND @ UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON: The Wind Ensemble will do their final performance of their recording tour at the Moores Opera House at the University of Houston at 11AM. An itinerary of the event is attached here. PARENTS: this is your last opportunity to observe the amazing music making that these wonderful students have achieved this year. This is definitely the most challenging program that has ever been done with this band, and they rose to the challenge this year! Typically, parents come to this performance, and we would urge all of the Wind Ensemble parents to attend your kiddos’ very last performance of the school year. We hope to send our best recordings to the TMEA Honor Band Competition, which will be evaluated in June.
