Band students who are on campus during your scheduled band exam must be in the band room during that time (school rule).

Things we likeMarching Uniforms
Marching uniforms will not be collected until sometime mid January. Even if you are not going to London, please hold on to your uniform. More information will be given as the time to turn them in gets closer.
Uniform for London
It is highly encouraged that you have your uniform dry cleaned before going to London. Packing a clean uniform is going to be much nicer than packing a stinky one in with your clean clothes. And we all want to be looking top notch for the parade!

Monday-Christmas Concert Rehearsal (Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band) 4-5:30 pm
Tuesday-Wind Ensemble 4:00-5:30 Wednesday-Off Thursday-London parade rehearsal 4-5:30 (we will go to 5:30 today and next Thursday) Friday-Off. Deadline to sign up for all state / district honor band auditions. Christmas Concert - Tuesday, December 5 Combined Concert with Band and Choir. Concert starts at 7:00 pm Students should arrive at 6:15 with warm up around 6:30 pm. Dress is formal concert tux/dress with Christmas decorations/accessories encouraged. Holiday bow tie, Santa Hat, antlers, etc. as long as it doesn't affect how you perform. Silent Auction will start before the concert and go through intermission. All State / District Honor Band Auditions Registration - Due by Friday, December 1st (optional) When: All State Auditions are Friday, January 26 and Saturday, January 27th at Huntsville High School! Generally all high school students audition Friday evening except for Flutes and Bb Clarinets. Cost: $30 per student. You can choose your method of payment, but clearly label it as all state audition for your student. If you are using a credit, you must inform Mrs. Tapia by the deadline! If you audition, you must be able to attend district honor band (February 16-17 at Grissom HS) and/or All State Festival (April 25-27 at the VBC) in it's entirety (every rehearsal + the concert) if you were to be selected. Everyone auditioning must own a copy of the book from which the audition music comes from (this is a copyright issue and a state rule). Please let us know if you need help with this! Audition music has already been shared with all students. Deadline is Friday, December 1st. London Instrument/Equipment Shipping - Important There are many details that go into the shipping process. We provided a manifest to the shipping company with every piece of equipment we are taking (weight, dimensions, value, serial number) - this is due to the shipping company Wednesday, November 15th and no changes are possible after that date. We outline who's exact instrument, equipment, or shako is in each shipping container. We believe that alto saxophones and trumpets should be able to be shipped with our other large equipment instead of being taken as carry-on luggage!! This is good news and should make your airport travel easier. Clarinets, flutes, and majorette baton will still take instruments in checked luggage If there are any changes to what was submitted to the instrument form, I need to know BEFORE Wednesday, November 15th. All equipment will be shipped the week of December 11-15 and will return by January 15th. What can I do to help? Please make sure instruments being shipped is labeled with your full name on the outside (instrument tag or just get a piece of tape and write it with a sharpie). Also - please put a peice of tape and write your name on your SHAKO BOX! Take extra things out of your case and make sure it's secure for shipping before you turn the instrument into the band room to ship! We will be giving further instructions on dropping off equipment in the band room as we get closer to the week of December 11-15. Please adhere to our deadlines! We will have very little wiggle room!
