Greetings Eagle Family! We are one week away from Thanksgiving Break! I am definitely looking forward to the time with my family, as I am sure you are with yours. Our Booster President Mrs. Berg posts a booster notice every single week on the BAND App that is loaded with amazing information. Please read it entirely, as it all pertains to pretty much everyone. MARCHING BAND SEASON HAS ENDED: last Friday, our football team was defeated in the playoffs. That concludes our last Friday game, and it also includes marching band rehearsals as well. We have officially transitioned into Concert Band season. WIDDYUP FUNDRAISER: Team! We have raised an astonishing $26,026 since our last update. That is completely wild! We are 86% into our goal of $30K. We are not done, we still have work to do! The money we are raising is specifically going back directly to the kids in the band program with the growth of our program, and the more we raise means the more we can purchase for our kids to go beyond in our program. Share, share, share!  Now that we are almost there, here’s how we can finally get it done and go even more beyond:
1) BECOME ACTIVE! We have 141 students actively participating, and there are still 91 students who are NOT ACTIVE! That means you don’t have at least 15 contacts in your Widdy-Up Dashboard or videos uploaded. 0 Contacts = $0! We need your help by putting in your 15 contacts and becoming active if you haven’t done it yet. And if you haven’t even created a dashboard yet, it’s definitely time to do that! Go to the following link to sign up: https://www.widdyup.com/students/register/BUgye4TwoUVzUsu2kjtyedDr?campaign=true 2) ADD MORE CONTACTS! More contacts will reach more people! If you have your 15, now add 10 more! If you have 25, now add 10 more. 50 contacts?! Go for 75!!! The amount of contacts you can put in your Widdyup dashboard is completely unlimited! The more people you reach and share out to, the more your sales will increase! 3) GO FOR THE PRIZES! Top 3 sellers receive a $200, $100, or $50 VISA gift card. Top 10 sellers get a Main Event party with the band directors with pizza and games. Top classroom total sales gets a pizza/DJ party on a 90-minute block period with games and fun! Here’s the schedule for this week:

FRIDAY PLAYOFF GAME ITINERARY: This week, we will be playing Dickinson HS for an away playoff game. It’ll be a one-hour bus ride from AHS. When we get there, it will be a mad dash to get to the stands in time! Sam Vitanza Stadium (Dickinson HS) 3800 Baker Dr, Dickinson, TX 77539
FOOTBALL GAME ATTENDANCE: Friendly reminder that attendance at football games is a major performance and is required. The school district and the Atascocita campus require band, dance, cheerleaders, ROTC, and others to attend these games. Therefore, it is a major performance credit for our program. I am unable to give credit for students who miss the games for unexcused reason which will have a negative impact on your grade in band. More information can be found on rehearsal and performance attendance in our band's handbook at this link below: https://www.atascocitaband.com/the-band-handbook.html#/ AMB WEEKLY UPDATE 11/4/2025
Greetings Eagle Family! Now that competition season has passed us, we now have literally SO MUCH to look forward to. Concert season, jazz band, basketball games, fundraisers, playoff games, solo and ensemble, and so so so much more. Marching season has come and gone so quickly, and now it’s time to prepare for the future and take our amazing band program and go beyond anything that we have ever done before as a team. LAST NIGHT’S MEETING: I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended last night’s informational meeting. As you can hopefully see from our presentation, we have the best interest of our kids at the front of everything that we do. With our first non-negotiable priority of our kids being their safety, following that is creating a marching band that kids love to show up to, featuring music the kids love to play and a show that brings the kids joy. Our band program is ready to evolve into the beyond. Our kids are about to add so much more fun and excitement to their UIL half-time shows. We know that parents have a lot of questions regarding the “how.” We know that change is uncomfortable, and I’m happy to share that we are working on a really awesome plan that will make the process even more exciting! I'll end up wanting to have another informational meeting together sometime soon to share more exciting details and answer more questions. We will always have the foundations that set the AMB apart - cleanliness, precision, attention to detail, sharpness, crispness. …taking the concepts that we already do, and elevating them, and going beyond. We are so delighted to have our kids on this amazing journey with us, and as a band director, I want to thank my parents and constituents for trusting in our leadership. If you missed it, you can always give us a call or an email, and I will go over everything that you might have missed in case you have questions. I am always here to help in any way that I can. Okay, on to the next thing! THURSDAY WIDDY-UP: We are set up to absolutely CRUSH this fundraiser! Our goal is $35,000. With everyone’s support and all of our students with their dashboards set up and contacts fully loaded in, we could stand to not only reach our goal - but annihilate it. Thursday kicks off everything. Please make sure that you have these three things happening:
FRIDAY GAME ITINERARY: This week, we will be playing Goose Creek Memorial for an away game. It’ll be a 45 minute bus ride from AHS to Goose Creek Stallworth Stadium. 2509 E Archer Rd, Baytown, TX 77521
