It is the last week before progress reports, so be sure to check your student’s objective sheet. Members of Symphonic Band have modified their objectives and are using a sticker progress chart in class instead. Concert Band and Wind Ensemble should have the first three objectives completed by the end of the week. In addition, we have our first guest clinician coming in on Friday!
Extra Credit Opportunities this Week There are two extra credit opportunities this week. The first is the SMS Pre UIL Concert on Monday at the SMS Auditorium. It will start at 6 pm, and end at approximately 7:45 pm. The second extra credit opportunity is the DISD Percussion Concert on Thursday at the DHS Auditorium. The concert will start at 7 pm. If you decide to attend, please bring a copy of the program in order to receive your extra credit! Second Spirit Wear Order By popular demand, we are opening a second order form for the Spirit Wear!

Please make sure that you have made all payments by this point to Educational Travel Adventures. We will create a concert ensemble to perform as part of this trip. This ensemble will have one required rehearsal on THIS UPCOMING Friday, March 6th from 4-6 pm. Music will be given to students at this rehearsal. We will perform the two pieces that we already learned at the Side by Side Concert earlier in the semester, as well as one other piece. We will also have a required student and parent meeting on Friday, March 6th at 6 pm. We will go over the final itinerary, suggested packing list, behavior expectations, etc. A few people have asked what the call time will be for this trip. A final itinerary will be sent out in a separate email today. Updated Pre UIL Concert Due to STAAR testing, I have had to move our Pre UIL concert to the previous week. Our new Pre UIL date will be on Tuesday, March 31st. This is a required event for Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble members only. A more detailed itinerary will be sent out closer to the event. It is vital for our success at our UIL Concert & Sight Reading Contest later in April that ALL students in Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble be at Pre UIL, so that we can get an accurate read from our judges. Please check your athletic calendars now, and make plansahead of time with your coach so that you will be at the entire Pre UIL event. Optional Trip to WGI Denton Each year, Mrs. Creech takes a group of students to watch the WGI Competition in Denton. This is a great opportunity for students in varsity and JV color guard to see performances at the highest levels of performance!
