From Mr. Lucita
First marching performance arrived last week in a flurry of activities and during a short week! Getting to perform for the first time for our home crowd was absolutely awesome! Tons of fans, excitement, and support! It felt like Friday Night Lights!
This week we are looking forward to diving deeper into the show as we get closer to our very first marching contest! BOA Austin is 3 weeks away and will be here before we know it!
The regular activities at the band hall are starting to settle into place, such as private lessons. We have many students enrolled in private lessons however there is always room for more. Nothing beats that one-on-one time with a professional getting to focus on the exact areas of need. If you would like to sign your student up for private lessons please contact the band hall and we will send you everything you need.
Our parent volunteers have been doing an incredible job finishing up the final touches of the uniforms, working on props, publishing the awesome program that was sold at the football game, helping move all of the percussion equipment on and off the field, feeding our students, plus countless other items. Thank you, parents, for working so hard to help our students succeed!
Looking forward to another awesome week with our Jaguar Band as “Our Journey” continues!

Sign-Making Party and Competition Information for Send Offs!
Meet us on Tuesday, 9/10 at 5:00 pm in the band hall if you would like to join us in making posters for competition send-offs!
The posters can be anything you’d like... your child’s name, nickname, an instrument, Jags or a big head. The kids don’t care what’s on them as long as we’re there to cheer them on when they leave!
You don't have to make a poster to cheer them on when they drive by! Just join in on the cheering as we send-off the Jaguar band on our competition days! The kids love seeing a crowd cheering them on as they head to competitions! The send-off party will take place in front of Dahlstrom. The times will vary depending on when they leave. Please stay in tune as we will communicate specific times closer to the dates.
So please join us in the band hall on 9/10 for the Jaguar Band sign-making party! We will have some supplies there but feel free to bring your poster boards, glue, tape, markers, stickers and anything you’d like to use. Walmart even has a poster board with a gold border!
If you didn't order a BIG HEAD with your photos but would like to make one, you can pick one up from Walmart in Kyle. Items needed to create your own "big head":
- 20 x 30 poster/picture from Walmart in Kyle (if ordered in store it can be ready in an hour) it’s $20.42 with tax. That’s the big one, get any size you’d like.
- Foam board
- Yard stick
- Hot glue gun... we’ll have a couple
- E6000 glue —this is specific
- X-acto knife... we’ll have a couple there
Hope to see you on Tuesday!
"Band Siblings" gift exchange starts this week!
