Rogers Band NEws
March 28th, 2024
This Weeks Sectional Schedule
In preparation for our final competitions in April we are going to combine larger sections together. Students may schedule a time to meet 1 on 1 with a band director for solo help. Beginners may also use morning and afternoon practice time in the band hall to pass-off their scales or music lines.
Rogers Band UIL Success!!
We did it!! Symphonic Winds joined CBII and CBI in earning 1st division superior rating from every judge on stage and in sight-reading. Rogers is one of the few schools to sweep the ratings with 3 performing bands.
Please congratulate all of the students for their OUTSTANDING performances! Please click here for recordings of all the UIL Performances . Please feel free to share with family and friends.

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
Please see the attached flyer from the WGHS Band Directors. Lots of great opportunities coming up for you to learn about what to expect for band at WGHS. Incoming Freshman Letter
