Band First Aid Pain Relievers
In light of the fentanyl epidemic affecting our community, the Band Aid supply boxes will no longer contain pain reliever, allergy medicine, or any other type of over the counter medications. In addition, please remind your students not to take from or give pills to any other students.

Private Music Lessons
Much of the success of the Johnson Jaguar Band can be traced back to our students’ high-quality individual musicianship. That individual musicianship is developed not only during daily band class and at-home practice but through our incredible Private Lesson Program.
The band staff has worked diligently to assemble the finest local professionals on each and every instrument to deliver 1-on-1 lessons to our students who enroll in the program! Lessons occur on campus before, during, and after school. Although not required, lessons are highly encouraged. Private lessons are not for remediation but rather enrichment!
Students are encouraged to reach out directly to an instructor to sign up and schedule lessons.

From the director
September here we come!! Just FYI, September is the month of our first marching contest. As we wrap up the month of August, let’s look forward to this week and the month of September.
This week we start with a student holiday. There is no school or rehearsal on Monday, September 5th! There is no school on September 6th, but we do have rehearsal from 5 - 8 p.m. Make sure everyone keeps an eye on the calendar. There is also an additional change this week. Wednesday we have rehearsal from 5 - 8 p.m. to replace the Monday holiday. Thursday and Friday are regular schedules.
Speaking of Friday - can you say Seniors?? Friday is our senior night, and we will recognize our 22 - 23 seniors at the halftime of the Johnson vs Lake Travis football game. We will March our show “Against All Odds” immediately following the game.
In addition to recognizing our seniors we will also be wearing the official Johnson High School Band & Guard Uniform. (The uniforms used in pictures) Please keep in mind that this adds a new process for our students. They will need to be issued their uniforms immediately after school and will check them back in once we arrive at Johnson after the game. They do NOT take these home. As you know, the first time something is done it often takes a little extra time to complete the process. Please be patient as we work though these check out and check in procedures!
Let’s make the very best of this three day week and enjoy the extended weekend! As we close out this short news letter remember “It’s A Great Day To Be A Jaguar”.

This week we will have a modified schedule due to the holiday weekend. Tuesday, Wednesday 5 - 8 p.m., Thursday 5 - 7 p.m. and Friday 7 a.m. - 8 a.m. We also have a DRUMLINE performance this Saturday at Tom Green Elementary for the Hornet Races. We will work out logistics this week.
