Please update contact information, check your student's birthday, gender, ID, instrument, etc. and make changes as necessary. If you have questions or have difficulty logging in, please contact Mrs. Becker.
Wind Symphony GISD BandFest Performance
I know this is not an ideal time to have a performance, but the district set this date and I do not have the power to change it. It will be a wonderful opportunity for our students to perform for a large crowd and (spoiler alert!) ALL of the GISD middle schools will be performing together on the field for a powerful moment!
Morning/Afternoon Procedures
Beginning at 8:15am, the exterior band hall door (door #11) will be open for band students to come in and drop off their instruments on their way to their 1st period class.
At the end of the day, students will come down to the band hall at dismissal to pick up their instrument and band binder to take it home and practice each night. If your student is a car rider, you are welcome to pick up your student in the back of the building, where the band hall exit is. **It is less crowded at pickup in the back - take advantage of being in the band!**
Students should have their band pass in their Soar card pouch to show any teachers who ask on their way to the band hall. If students do not have their band pass, we cannot guarantee that teachers will allow them to walk through the school to come to the band hall.

Supply Needed for Advanced Band Students
Students who play clarinet, alto sax, trumpet, and trombone will also need a lyre specifically designed for their instrument. All of these supplies can be found at Music & Arts or online through Amazon. The first football game performance for Wind Symphony and Honors Band is August 31.
