Whew, what a crazy 2 days back. Looking forward to a full week of school!
Sectional Schedule
Please see the sectional schedule for next week’s Symphonic Winds, Concert Band I and II members. Sectional attendance is mandatory and is graded weekly. Please make attendance a priority to ensure the success of the individual and group. We spend this invaluable time working on music for our busy spring contest season.

The All-Region Jazz Contest is coming up next week and audition times are in. Auditions will take place at Rushing Middle School on evening of Tuesday 1/14.
Students who make the band will participate in the Clinic and Concert on Saturday January 18th at McKinney Boyd High School. Specifics will be handed out on Wednesday for students who make the band.
