Austin High School Maroon Band News
September 11, 2017 - September 15, 2017
Did you see the drone footage of Austin High Band halftime show vs. McNeil?
Check it out here....
Last week we were proud to unveil our newly remodeled band trailer! We are now traveling in style and showing our Maroon Spirit along the way!
Thank you to all the volunteers who have already signed up for this Friday's festivities. Our kids really do appreciate the support from their families, but we are still in need of a bus chaperone and water cooler filler at school.
Please sign up online at www.charmsoffice.com Thank you!
CDL Drivers Needed
The AHS Band is looking for CDL drivers to drive our new band trailer! The AHS Band has the longest trailer in AISD and we need someone to drive it. The trailer travels to all home and away football games, competitions, festivals and all around central Texas. The more drivers we have to drive the trailer the better. If you have a CDL or know someone with a CDL please let us know immediately. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Band Parent Maroon Mingle – come join us!
Where: At the Tavern. We’ll meet upstairs, I reserved a large table to the right of the stairway. The Tavern is at 922 W. 12th Street (right by House Park.) We recommend parking in the ACC garage and walking over.

For more info: text or call Michele Santos at 512-826-1852. I get there early, text if you can’t spot us right away. We had a great turnout last week!

Football Game Reminders
Students are to wear their "A" polo, black shorts, black belt, black no-show socks, vipers/dinkles (black shoes) and a black hair ribbon, which will be distributed on Friday.
*Don't forget the black belt!
Black Water Jugs:
Upper class-men do not forget your black water jug from last year.
Freshman will get theirs tomorrow before the game.
Please remember there is no leaving campus after school. You will eat, change, fill up water coolers then board the buses.
Parents: If you are planning on taking your child home from House Park you will need to email Frock no later than Friday morning. You will also need to remind your student to take all of their school stuff on the bus with them to the game and then make arrangements to get the items off the bus.
Time Sensitive - 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
