Austin High Maroon Band 2017 - 2018 Show Debut
The Austin High School Maroon Band came back to school on July 27th to begin working on their 2017 program, “Nocturne”, music inspired by the night. For the past several weeks, students have been perfecting their show, which will debut at the football game this Friday night, September 1st at House Park Stadium vs. McNeil High School.
The featured soloists of the 2017 Austin High School Maroon Band are:
Claire Peterman – Flute
Brooke Peterman – Soprano Saxophone
Carter Harrod – French Horn
Gabby Eastwood – French Horn
Carolyn Stripling – French Horn
Double Daves Fundraiser
If you donate $25.00 to the band, Double Dave's will give you $50.00 in food credits to be used at their location. Credits never expire. Donations will be accepted by cash, check or charge. The credit is attached to a phone number. A maximum of $50.00 donation to one phone number for $100.00 food credit is allowed. Credits take about two weeks to become active. This donation event will ONLY occur from 11 am - 3 pm. This is a great opportunity to support the band. We hope to see everyone there.
Band Spirit Sale Extended....
Thank you for your patience regarding the Austin High Band spirit gear sale. You may have received an automated email notice today that items were added to School Cash Online. Please disregard. We will communicate with you as soon as the system is available for credit card payments.
In the meantime, the decision has been made to allow an additional week for Band Spirit Gear orders due to the delay with School Cash Online. We hope this will allow enough time for AISD to bring the credit card payment option online, but we cannot extend indefinitely. If AISD does not make the system available before 8/30, it may be necessary to pay with check or cash.
All orders and payments must be turned in by Wednesday, August 30. There will be no additional extension and no late orders can be accepted so we can distribute items as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact the Band Booster Treasurers, Jill Ivie at jill.ivie@gmail.com or Andrie Cantu at andriecantu@gmail.com.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
Scholarships for Band Fees
The Band Boosters are excited to announce that we will be providing scholarships for band fees this year for families experiencing financial hardship. Our goal is to meet the need for all requesting families, however Band Boosters will most likely be unable to fulfill 100% of requests. We encourage and expect all families to contribute a portion of band fees. Please find the application in Charms under handouts and files for more details.
Applications are due to Mr. Frock by September 22. Feel free to email or submit a hard copy.
Questions? Contact Mr. Frock at brianfrock@austinisd.org
