And just like that, marching season is over! Saturday night, at the USBands Remo Finale in Kelly Reeves Stadium, the Johnson Jaguar Band marched their competitive show for the very last time. It was a great way to wrap up our inaugural season! The Jaguar Band won their division in prelims and swept every category: Best Music, Best Percussion, Best Guard, Best Visual and Best Effect! The prelims score was high enough to place them into finals competition with all advancing bands, regardless of their division or school size! Later that night, when the 13 finalist bands had completed their performances, the Jaguar Band had scored high enough to place 6th overall. The only band participating with no Juniors or Seniors and ranked 6th out of a total of 26 bands! What a way to finish the season! Setting the bar for next year extremely high!!

Although marching season is over, members of the Jaguar Band will still continue to be very active! This coming week several of our students will participate in the TMEA Region Orchestra auditions. Additionally, we will have students participating in the TMEA Region Band auditions on November 21st and 23rd.

Please be on the lookout for Winter Guard information coming out soon. Once the marching season ends our Color Guard students get to continue in the Spring semester with Winter Guard. It is very similar to Color Guard just minus the band and all competitions are held indoors! Winter Guard is open to any student interested in participating, regardless of experience! Clinic and Camp information will be distributed soon! Please be on the lookout and pass the word to any other students and friends that might be interested in participating in this awesome organization!

This week we will also have percussion auditions for band placement. Now that marching band has ended, percussion students will be assigned to a concert band in which they will participate. This will be based off of their auditions that are scheduled this week!

Here we go, another exciting week with the Jaguar Band! Let’s keep this forward momentum towards success rolling!

Don't miss your chance to memorialize this most amazing year!
