Students who are performing a solo at UIL contest on February 4 should be continuing to practice on that music. Students who play with a piano accompanist will be rehearsing with their accompanist once this week, and once the following week after school. Times and locations have been posted in the band hall for these rehearsals. Students utilizing a piano accompanist should pay their accompanist directly by their second rehearsal. $35 for a class II or III solo, $40 for a class I.

All musicians have assigned a small ensemble. Students should be practicing this music individually and in groups outside of class. They will be expected to set up at least 4 outside of class rehearsals with their small ensembles, during Falcon Lunch, after school, or on the weekends at someone’s house.

The Winter Guard continues to have rehearsals this week on Tuesday and Thursday in preparation for their first contest this Saturday, February 4 at Morton Ranch HS.
