Lone Star Ambassadors: Upcoming Deadline
If you were interested in joining us on the 2020 trip to Europe the first deadline to turn in your paperwork is on June 15th.
We have plenty of extra forms if you are still interested in going. Please contact Mr. Treadwell as soon as you can!
This trip is not limited to just students but also offered to their families as well!
It is an amazing adventure, you won't be disappointed. Come see what it's about!
Concert Instruments
Our summer repair has already gone out. Once it comes back in from the shop we will send out a remind so that you can pick it up on one of the summer lesson dates of your convenience.
Summer Lesson Dates
The IHS band hall will be open for lessons on the following Wednesday's:
6/5
6/12
6/19
6/26
7/17
**The weeks of 7/3 &7/10 FISD will be closed and no lessons can happen on campuses
Summer Band dates/times posted on google calendar
Because school is starting so soon next year we wanted to get this information to you sooner than later so that you can plan your vacations/camps before this time. All information is still subject to change but the outline for summer band is now able to be viewed on the google calendar on our website.
Even though it is a week sooner, "traditional" summer band is only 8 days long.
**Note that the week of July 22nd-26th does not involve everyone each day and is only a few hours of "Full band". This corresponds to the Texas UIL amendment that allows for no more than 10 hours of "Summer Band" during this week due to such an early school start.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
