important Summer Notes
Open Band Hall
Throughout the summer, the band hall will be open from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. unless otherwise indicated on the calendar. All band students are encouraged to come to the band hall to practice, particularly percussion and front ensemble students who do not have their instruments at home. Many private lesson teachers will teach in the Johnson band hall this summer. Please know that the band hall being open does not mean directors are available to help.
Guard members: Please keep an eye out for Spin Days at JHS! We will be working on getting dates in the gym for you to practice your skills. We will also be offering days for strength training and improving flexibility/stretching.
Important Summer Events
Please check out the "What's Happening This Month" and "Save These Dates" sections below.
Jag Swag TMF Store
Please visit the Jag Swag TMF store. It closes automatically June 6, 2022. This is where you order compression shirts, replacement items for summer uniforms and the "not-required-but-highly-recommended" band or guard duffel bag. This is the time to purchase them if you would like them before the fall marching season starts.
