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.

All-Region Jazz Auditions

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.

Please see the following links for times, audition instructions, and maps of the school:

All-District Band Update

All-District Band clinic and concert was cancelled this week due to the complications with weather. We are not sure if this can be rescheduled, but we are looking at all options.

Weekly Objectives for all students

All students in the Rogers Band Program are given weekly objectives which are listed on the back of their practice records. Different objectives may require different submissions. For example, some may be taken during sectionals, while others are chair tests in class or attendance to an event. All weekly objectives and submission details are notated on each students practice record/objective sheet.
