From Mr. Lucita
As we are reaching the end of the marching season, our Jaguar Band continues to work hard and finish strong. This weekend our band participated in their first UIL marching contest! We left Giddings HS Saturday evening with straight 1’s (Superior Ratings)! The judges were extremely complimentary of our performance.
Judge Rocky Harris states: “This is a well taught group”, “Congratulations to you, your parents, your directors and your community for a great performance today”!
Judge Richard Hooper states: “Outstanding!” “Awesome!” “Well conceived show that was enthusiastically executed! Bravo”
Judge Jon Schriver states: “Many outstanding musicians”, “Incredible Musical performance with amazing control and dynamics”, “Fantastic job today”!
As we wrap up this weekend we look forward to this coming week and the exciting items that are headed our way! This week we have the Hays CISD Marching Fest on Wednesday in which we get to see every Hays CISD band student grades 7-12. Monday starts the “Johnson Java” Band Coffee fundraiser which is the band's only fall fundraiser. Coffee is something so many people enjoy! This sale happens just in time for Thanksgiving gatherings and for presents in December! To wrap up this week we have our Thursday night home football game!!
I know I state it each week, however, I can NEVER state it enough! Thank you to our wonderful parents who work so hard and in so many ways to help us be successful!!
Wear your jOURney Shirts to the HaysCISD Marching Festival!
Please note that this is for parent/family shirts only and a limited quantity is available. (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.
Calling ALL Jaguar Band Families!
We have an amazing show and need help loading/unloading trailer and setting up equipment and props on the field. At competitions, this needs to be done in a certain time frame so the more help we have, the better! No experience is necessary! Things to think about...
- You do not have to commit to all games and/or competitions - you can sign up for as many or as few as you are available for.
- Please keep in mind that volunteers will have to do physical activity, including running and pushing/pulling heavy equipment. Work gloves are recommended.
- Make sure to get your Pit Crew shirt! Cost is $10.
- If you volunteer on Pit Crew, the cost of your ticket is covered with a field pass and the boosters will cover your meals during competition days! Please know that in order to ensure you receive a field pass, you MUST be signed up on the sign-up genius!
If you are interested in helping on the Pit Crew, please sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0848ABA62CA57-proppit
If you have any questions, please contact pitcrew@johnsonbands.com or text/call Clover Clamons at 512-468-8319.
Please help your student with SHOW HAIR
** It is highly recommended that you assist your student with his/her hair before he/she arrives at the band hall (ready for inspection). If your student needs help with hair, they must bring their own products (comb, gel, bobby pins, bun makers, bun hair nets, etc.) and arrive in the hair room (library) no later than 15 minutes before inspection.
Show hair guidelines:
Hair needs to be in a bun, braids, or neatly pinned up. This is for ALL hair length, even those with shorter hair must have their hair up and back. Be sure to wet hair, use gel, a comb and bobby pins. We also recommend donut bun makers and bun hair nets to keep buns in place. The BOYS that have a regular length haircut simply need to apply some product (gel, spray, etc.) in an effort to keep it styled and neat. Those with long hair will need to pull it up and back. In an email sent on 9/16 through Charms there were 3 video examples of show hair (this was email with show hair info and info about Seguin game).
Game Day AND Competition Day Meals
THANK YOU to the volunteers who helped with game day and Texas Marching Classic meals last week!
Please know that on competition days we serve the students lunch and dinner. So we need help to serve meals TWICE on those days. If you sign up for meal plans, please do not also sign up for Pit Crew.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
