Rogers Band NEws

March 22nd, 2024

This Weeks Sectional Schedule

This is the final push for all of our UIL Contests this week. We need to have 100% attendance at our one extra rehearsal this week. No other sectionals will take place this week except for Jazz Band.

Rogers Band UIL Success!!

Concert Band I (Non-Varsity Band), and Concert Band II (Sub-Non-Varsity) competed in the UIL Concert and Sight-Reading contest this week. Symphonic Winds (Varsity Band) will compete next Wednesday March 27th.

Congratulations are in order for all Concert Band I and Concert Band II students. We were some of the few ensembles to receive both Superior ratings (1st division) from the judges on stage and also Superior ratings (1st division) from the judges in sight-reading. That means that both bands were awarded a UIL trophy. It’s the highest honor we are able to receive at UIL contest. Please congratulate all of the students for their OUTSTANDING performances!

Beginner 4th 9-weeks Project

All of our beginners are starting to work on their BIG 4th 9-weeks pass-off project. They are working to pass-off major scales and also lines out of the book. With each scale passed off, they will receive a different colored bead to display how far they are getting. We will also keep track with a sticker/pass-off chart and on the back of their practice record. This a great project that students can move at their own pace.

Attention 8th Graders
