Picture Day 1/22
Next Wednesday, Jaunary 22nd is our band picture day.
Beginner students will need to arrive to school early on this day so we can take our group picture. This has to happen before school since we do not actually meet during the school day altogether.
All info for the picture day can be found in the link below. You will also find the order form for the pictures.
PICTURE DAY INFO 1/22
PICTURE ORDER FORM
8th Grade All-Region Students
All 8th grade students who made the all-region band are expected to perform with the KHS Wind Ensemble at their concert on January 31st, 2020. There will be two more rehearsals to help prepare the students for this experience and they will be on January 23rd, and January 30th. Both of these rehearsals will go from 4:30 - 6:00 and they will be held in the KHS band hall. Studets are expected to work on the music on their own as there is not enough rehearsal time to learn it then. If a student missed the first rehearsal on January 9th they are still more than welcome to join for the last two and still perform at the concert.
Honor Band & Symphonic Band
The Honor Band sectional schedule can be found HERE.
The Symphonic Band sectional schedule can be found HERE.
All sectionals are required and they will be for a grade. This gives the directors an opportunity to hear each section on an individual level that we do not get to hear in class. Students will also have an chance to pass off some of their objectives and their UIL music at the end of this time. If a student has to miss a sectional we ask that they communicate with us so that we know where they are.

Band Party 1/25
All band students are invited to a band party on Saturday, January 25th from 6pm - 9pm. We will be watching a movie in the band hall, playing games in the gym and we have also rented a video game truck for this time frame. Students will sign up for a time in the truck as this gets closer, and they will have a ticket for when it is their time to go. We are asking that 8th grade students bring a bag of chips, 7th graders bring a dessert and 6th graders bring a 12 pack of soda. We will be sending out a sign-up genius by the end of this week for chaperones.
