Our prelims performance at the UIL Area E Marching Competition is at 9:15 am on Saturday, October 29th at Wildcat Stadium. We will be staying in hotels the night of Friday, October 28th. We are staying at this hotel.

Chaperones have already been selected for the trip, but we are in need of food crew on Friday as well as load crew on Saturday if you have already completed the CISD background check here. The sign up to volunteer is here.

Here are some important links with information about the Corpus Christi trip.

• Corpus Christi Rules and Instructions (includes packing list and itinerary)
• Hotel Room Assignments
• Patch order form
• Ticket Sales

Tickets are only available online, and we strongly encourage you to purchase tickets ahead of time. Please arrive about 45 minutes prior to our performance time. There is limited parking at the stadium. The lineup of bands can be found here.

The top 12 bands out of 32 competing will advance from prelims to finals. This is a very competitive event as all bands had to qualify for this contest by earning a first division rating at the region level. The top 6 bands from finals will advance to the UIL State Marching Contest on November 9th at the Alamodome.

Wolf Band Philosophy on Competition

• Have fun!

• We only control our own work and performance.

• We respect our competitors as peers and know they are working as hard as we are.

• The judges are watching and listening to us with an open mind and a fair heart.

• Placements and trophies are secondary to the feeling of SUPERIOR performances.

• We accept ALL results with dignity and grace.

We are participating in the GVTC canned food drive again this year. The band and color guard are specifically collecting boxes of stuffing. Drop off is at the band hall to Mr. Keyes. We are setting a goal that every band and color guard member donates one box of stuffing.

Here are some important dates for winter guard season.

• November 14 - Winter Guard Clinic after school
• November 17 - Winter Guard Try Outs after school
• December 12 - Winter Guard parent meeting immediately after Holiday Concert

We have two sets of remind groups.

• The first is for directors to communicate with both parents and students. We used this Friday to let everyone know the game was delayed 30 minutes due to rain.
• The second is for section parents to communicate with parents in their section.
