Welcome back!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break spending time with family and friends! We hit the ground running this week as we prepare for our upcoming concert on December 12, continue with establishing and rehearsing our JHS Winter Guard program and last but not least celebrating our region audition success!

This week we have after school band rehearsals as we work to integrate our percussionist into their concert bands. Wind Ensemble will follow their same schedule and rehearse on Monday 4:30-6:00 and Wind Symphony will have rehearsal on Tuesday 4:30-6:00!

Winter Guard will continue with their weekly schedule with rehearsals on Monday and Thursday 5:00-8:00.

Way to go Jaguar Band we are super proud of all of our students! The All Region Band Clinic/Concert are this week (Friday & Saturday) at the Austin ISD Performing Arts Center. For those students involved in the Region Band a detailed schedule will be sent home this week!

The deadline to order poinsettias has been extended until TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3rd at midnight. Please share with family and friends (and any business owners you might know) so people have an opportunity to be festive AND support the Jaguar Band!

We are looking for adult and student volunteers to help make our Poinsettia Pick-up and Santa Event a success! We need help unloading and distributing poinsettias and also need some volunteers to donate hot chocolate, cookies and paper goods. We are also looking for someone who can set up a festive backdrop for Santa. Please have a look at our sign-up below and see what you can help us with!

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.
