During the week of August 16th, some rehearsals may be moved to evenings due to in-service for teachers. Those rehearsals will be 6:00pm-8:00pm for the full band. Additional Percussion rehearsals may also be scheduled based on in-service schedule.
*Thurs, Aug 19 (8:00PM-10:30PM): POOL PARTY!
We are aware that because the original schedule did not begin until August 16th that some families may have made plans for the first two weeks. Please make every effort to be at all of the rehearsals if you are in town, and it is especially important to attend the band registration on Saturday, Aug 14th. If you cannot attend one of the rehearsals scheduled, please let either Mr. Hardy or Mr. Montalvo (smontalv@houstonisd.org) know as soon as possible. With our semi-late start, it is critical that we get the most out of our time!
