Week 19 of School – 1/13/209 – 1/17/20 – Sectionals and Rehearsals begin, Band Parent Meeting, Mulch Fundraiser,
Congratulations to Zoe G. on making 2nd chair in the Oboe room and becoming a member of the Texas All-State Band! Congrats to all those that were involved in the Area and Region auditions as a lot of hard goes into that process. We are very proud of you.
Solo and Ensemble is around the corner and PIANO PARTS MUST BE TURNED IN BY TUESDAY TO MR. ESPINOZA! We have a Wednesday deadline to get that to accompanist so we must have your music by then. If you are attending the Churchill Solo and Ensemble, a copy will do and not an original part.
This Saturday we will be hosting TCGC Field Day at Churchill, this includes a clinic as well as a preview show for the 10 color guard units attending. Churchill’s clinic time is 5:20pm and our show time is 8:08pm. The cost is $5 for spectators. Any current band student wearing the black travel shirt can attend the show for free! Come support the Charger Color Guard as they showcase a preview of their 2020 production “Ave Maria”. More information can be found at texascolorguardcircuit.org. Here is the schedule for the week:
