During the fall semester, and occasionally in the spring semester, we have Tuesday Night rehearsals. This allows us more time to meet to work on our music and marching show production to better prepare for UIL contests. Students are expected to attend all rehearsals, be focused and ready to work, and bring a water bottle. These practices will start August 19th and run through October until our marching contest season is complete. Practices will be from 5pm-8pm and will take place in the HS band hall.
We also like to provide a dinner break at the end of rehearsal. These breaks are brought by parent volunteers each week. Here is a sign up page if you are interested in helping to provide a meal for our HS band students: Night Practice Meal Sign Up Link
Here is some updated info on region band auditions. These were the dates given to us at our ATSSB Region meeting, and we will update on deadlines as we get updates from ATSSB and UIL. Auditioning for Region Band is an individual contest where students learn a few songs and scales and play them for a panel of judges. If any student is interested in this process, please contact Mrs. Hoffman or Mr. Weirich.

Expected Absence Form- this form should be filled out by students and parents when they know they will miss a night rehearsal or performance at least 1 week in advance of the absence and turned into a band director. This is so we have a way to track attendance and determine participation for grading purposes.
8Hr Rule Form- UIL requires every student in the HS marching band to fill out this form every year. This form basically states that we will not practice more than 8 hours outside of school hours per week. Students and a parent need to sign the form and turn it in by August 25th. We are required to take this with us when we go to contests.
