From Mr. Lucita
WOW!!! What a great first week of summer band. It was absolutely awesome to get our Private Lesson Instructors involved in teaching daily Master Classes, our MS Directors teach sectionals, all of our wonderful Marching Techs involved in fundamentals and our amazing Jaguar Band Students!!! Could not have asked for a better first week of Summer Band!
In addition to a great first week of summer band we also had the Johnson High School Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Saturday! What a great day. There was an awesome audience in attendance who loved the Jaguar Bands first ever public performance! The School Song and the Jaguar Fight Song were both big hits with the audience!
Next week is going to be just as exciting! We continue our daily schedule of visual block for the morning and music ensemble in the afternoon. Next week is spirit week. Make sure everyone participates each day and ensure each of the afternoon events are super fun!! Remember there is no rehearsal on Friday!!!
Last but not least the DCI World Championships are this week! If you can’t attend the Championships live I encourage you to head out to DCI 2019: Big, Loud and Live 16 at Cinemark Southpark Meadows and the Regal Metropolitan theaters at 5:30 pm!!!

Reminders
* Interested in purchasing an ad celebrating your student? We have a committee that is responsible for creating the program's (booklets) that are sold at home football games. Football Program Ad deadline is 8/15. This is open to all Johnson students! Your personal ad will be featured in all of the football programs published this season! PLEASE share this information with your JHS friends and any business owners you may know (we are also selling business ads) as this is a fundraiser for JHS Band. (Form below)
* Game Day Meal Plan deadline is 8/9. Without this meal plan, you will have to make sure your child has food they can eat immediately after school and before they change into marching uniform and leave campus to game locations.
* Competition Meal Plan deadline is 8/28. This plan offers 2 meals each competition day (lunch and dinner) and is highly recommended as it is very difficult to get food to your student at the right times.
