Rehearsal Schedule

Now that Marching season has concluded the Band program is starting up all of our other groups and ensembles. Instead of everyone having the same schedule all the time, there are 8 different performing groups that all have different schedules. As usual, you can see all rehearsals and performances on the calendar.

Our basic rehearsal schedule is listed below. However, it changes a bit form week to week depending on holidays and other events.

Members are EXPECTED to be at every single rehearsal! Please do not miss any rehearsal for any reason. We understand emergencies come up, but students should not be missing for any other reason. All rehearsals count as a Double Daily Grade.

We will be taking individual band pictures during class on Friday, November 14th. Students will put on their band uniform and take a picture with their instrument. The order form is below and I will also pass out an already printed form in class to all students.

Students need to have their order form already filled out and their payment in hand to give to the TexasGroupPhoto Representative on the day of the pictures.
