Thanksgiving Break here we come. This is our last week before we have a week off. Although we are about to get a break it doesn’t mean things are slowing down.

This past weekend was the TMEA Region Orchestra clinic/concert and featured our first band member to participate. Congrats again to Parker Taylor.

This week we have the TMEA All Region Band auditions. We are excited to send approximately 20 students to these auditions. Auditions will be held on Thursday and Saturday at Akins HS. A detailed schedule of which students audition on which day will be sent home this week. We want to wish them the very best of luck.

We will also continue to work towards the Johnson Bands Winter Concert! The Concert will be held on December 12 at the Hays CISD PAC. Mark it on your calendar, you don’t want to miss this performance! Also please note that concerts are not optional. This concert is considered an extension of the classroom, therefore, it is not recognized as an extracurricular event. The concert is a Co-Curricular event and eligibility does not apply towards a student being able to perform (all students perform regardless of eligibility); the concert also counts as the majority of the students final semester exam!

Students will soon begin the process of choosing their solos for the UIL Solo and Ensemble Contest that will be held in February. Students will choose their solos in an effort to start the preparation process and have their solo to practice over the semester break!

Some people think bands get to take the Spring Semester off, however that is not the case! We are just getting started! Let’s have a great week!

We are still taking orders! If you would like a Jaguar cap, order here: https://www.johnsonbands.com/product-page/jaguar-hat

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

Please note that this is for parent/family shirts only. (Shirts are $15 and are Bella Canvas style/brand)

Order yours before they are gone! https://www.johnsonbands.com/product-page/2019-show-shirt-parent-only

Students have all received a complimentary show shirt courtesy of the Band Boosters! Student shirts are black and Parent/family shirts are royal blue. Both have 2019 show dates on the back.
