A MESSAGE FROM MR. LUCITA
Dear Jaguar Band Families,
The big thing on everyone’s mind this week is the crazy cold temperatures! I hope everyone stays warm, including the members of our families that aren’t human. You know--cats, dogs, birds, and any other pets that are susceptible to these crazy cold temperatures.
For this week, the most important item is to keep a close eye on the district announcements. 100% of school was moved to virtual for Friday and Monday, and all activities were cancelled. This unfortunately meant we had to cancel our Percussion Camp and our Winter Guard rehearsals. We are not yet sure about Tuesday as that would also impact Wind Ensemble rehearsal. Please keep and eye on all district announcement where school attendance is concerned.
Next we have something new! The New Member Meeting for all rising 8th graders is scheduled for Monday February 22 at 7 p.m. It will be a virtual meeting, and the link will be emailed to all 8th grade students and parents. We are building for the fall! This fall our goal is to give our students the wonderful marching experience that they all deserve. There are also additional Marching Camps coming this Spring, so please keep an eye on this newsletter and the calendar.
Again, Happy Valentines Day and Stat Warm!!! Go Jags! Have a great week!
Mr. Lucita

Band Sponsorships and opportunity to put Student names on trailer!
The Johnson Jaguar Band depends in large part on the fundraising efforts of the Band Boosters. Sponsorships are a very important part of fundraising. Our Sponsorship levels have been updated, and we have a lot of exciting options for businesses AND families! We ask that every family please share this brochure with anyone you know that has a business. We are eager to help promote businesses in our community that support the Jaguar Band! If you would like color copies of our Sponsorship Brochure, we are happy to provide them.
Questions?

A new addition to our Sponsorship options is the Friends and Family Level. This level offers various options for businesses as well as an option for band families: For $200, you can have your child’s name and graduation year on our band trailer indefinitely with the option to simultaneously add sibling name for an additional $100.
Thank you for your support of the Johnson Jaguar Band!
