AMB WEEKLY UPDATE 10/26/2025

Greetings, Eagle Family! We have made it to the end together in our competitive journey! This Tuesday, the Atascocita High School Military Marching Band will compete in the UIL State Military Marching Band Championships, to determine which military band is the best in the state of Texas! We have worked very hard for this day, and we are very excited for our amazing band program.

Please read this update carefully, as it pertains to a lot of what is going on this week. State-level information on the UIL State Military Marching Band Championships can be found here:

https://www.uiltexas.org/music/state-military-marching-band-contest

Here is an overview of this week’s schedule:

Monday: Rehearsal 3:45 - 6:45
Tuesday: UIL State Military Marching Band Championships
Wednesday: TMEA Region Orchestra Auditions
Thursday: WiddyUp Pre-Kickoff 3:45 and senior night practice 4:30
Friday:
Saturday: Football Game vs. Channelview HS (Senior Night at Home)

—---

MONDAY REHEARSAL: we need every band student to arrive quickly after school on Monday for a 3:45 rehearsal like it’s a game day. This is the very last rehearsal we have, and every performer must be physically on the field for the team. Please tell your club sponsors that you have band practice this day and must be at band at 3:45 - no exceptions. Please tell your private lesson teachers and tutorial teachers that you must be at 3:45 practice - no exceptions. It's the last one!

Monday rehearsal is an All-Call for every starting band student who is marching in UIL State Championships for a 3:45 to 6:45 final rehearsal. Every student must be in attendance, and this is the day that you will tell your clubs and sponsors “Sorry, I can’t - I have band.”

Tuesday UIL State Military Marching Band Championships: the full itinerary of the day is posted on the www.atascocitaband.com website. Students will arrive in the AM, rehearse on the AHS field, report to the band hall, and load up to depart to Waco for our final contest of the season. Please read it carefully - a lot of information is in there on how that contest day will go.

Attendance the next morning: All band students will have a later arrival after the late arrival, and must report to class by the 10:30 AM ADA attendance.

WEDNESDAY: full region orchestra itinerary for those students who are attending is attached on the BAND app and can also be found at www.atascocitaband.com

**A note about PSAT on Wednesday: Although there are no makeup opportunities for the October 29th PSAT, juniors who miss the exam may contact the National Merit Scholarship Corporation for an alternate entry to the National Merit Scholarship Program. The details for entry are outlined on the linked site.

Thursday Widdy-Up Pre-Kickoff and Senior Night practice: All band students need to meet in the band hall for a regular 3:45 practice like normal for a 20-minute widdy-up fundraiser pre-kickoff session. Following that meeting, all seniors and parents will be meeting on the field at 4:10pm for a senior night run-through practice. Seniors must be in attendance so that you will know what to do on Saturday. Parents are encouraged to attend as well, but it will be more important for senior students to be there so that they can show you where to go on the field.

SENIORS: I NEED YOUR FORM BY MONDAY NIGHT. Please fill out the senior night form. https://forms.gle/XVTRGJKic9ZQTfmo8

Friday is Halloween Night! Spooookyyy!!! No events scheduled. Enjoy the night off with your families.

SATURDAY HOME GAME: itinerary vs Channelview HS is below. Itinerary is standard football game itinerary, except it is all an hour forward, no rehearsal runthrough, and the full band will not perform at half-time. The halftime show this week is dedicated to the senior class band students.
