And just like that, marching season is over! Saturday night, at the USBands Remo Finale in Kelly Reeves Stadium, the Johnson Jaguar Band marched their competitive show for the very last time. It was a great way to wrap up our inaugural season! The Jaguar Band won their division in prelims and swept every category: Best Music, Best Percussion, Best Guard, Best Visual and Best Effect! The prelims score was high enough to place them into finals competition with all advancing bands, regardless of their division or school size! Later that night, when the 13 finalist bands had completed their performances, the Jaguar Band had scored high enough to place 6th overall. The only band participating with no Juniors or Seniors and ranked 6th out of a total of 26 bands! What a way to finish the season! Setting the bar for next year extremely high!!

Although marching season is over, members of the Jaguar Band will still continue to be very active! This coming week several of our students will participate in the TMEA Region Orchestra auditions. Additionally, we will have students participating in the TMEA Region Band auditions on November 21st and 23rd.

Please be on the lookout for Winter Guard information coming out soon. Once the marching season ends our Color Guard students get to continue in the Spring semester with Winter Guard. It is very similar to Color Guard just minus the band and all competitions are held indoors! Winter Guard is open to any student interested in participating, regardless of experience! Clinic and Camp information will be distributed soon! Please be on the lookout and pass the word to any other students and friends that might be interested in participating in this awesome organization!

This week we will also have percussion auditions for band placement. Now that marching band has ended, percussion students will be assigned to a concert band in which they will participate. This will be based off of their auditions that are scheduled this week!

Here we go, another exciting week with the Jaguar Band! Let’s keep this forward momentum towards success rolling!

Now through November 15th, the online band store will be selling both band and non-band Jaguar Spirit Gear. We have a lot of new items as well as some of the popular items from Store's 1 and 2.

All items are expected to be delivered before the holidays so this is a great opportunity to shop for holiday gifts for your current and future jaguars! Don't forget to order something for the adults in your life who support our Jaguars!

* Please see the calendar on Charms or Band Booster website for details. Details below.

• FULL UNIFORM: Black compression shorts, black band dri-fit, tall black socks, band shoes.
  
• ALL uniform pieces are REQUIRED.
• Always pack/store uniform parts back in ONE bag so that it is ready for the next game or competition
• Please see above regarding "show hair".
• Students should pack (and be encouraged to use) deodorant. Game days are long and hot!
• Label caps, shoes (initials on the label on the inside of shoes), shirts, shorts, belts (anything they are changing in to and out of). If we find these items we have no way of knowing who to return them to. With so many kids changing and carrying their clothes around, stuff inevitably gets dropped or left behind. Paint pens (these come in all colors including silver or gold which can be seen on black) or Sharpie laundry markers work best for this. Any other pen or marker will rub off.

Remind 101 is a communication option used by lots of teachers and clubs. Once signed up, you can either get the app and look at your messages in the app or you can receive the messages as a text message (or both).

To sign up for Remind 101 for band notifications:

1. Send a text message to 81010 (enter this number where you would enter the phone number)
   
2. The message will be @jagband19 (type this where you would type your text message)
3. Hit "send"
4. If you did this successfully, you will receive a text informing you that you signed up for the band remind messages.

Signing up for Remind for other clubs or classes will be similar. You will always send a text to 81010 but what you type into the text box will be different. For example, for an English class, it might be @smithsenglishclass.
