A MESSAGE FROM MR. LUCITA
Dear Jaguar Band Families,
The first thing I would like to do is take a moment to reflect on and appreciate all that happened last week! We had an incredible week of Zoom Classes, SLT meetings, Marching Band Rehearsals, Jag Jog, Uniform Preparations and Band Pictures! Having acknowledged those things it is extremely important to acknowledge these: our VOLUNTEERS!!
I want to break this down and share what our volunteers did--just last week alone! It started with those that came to rehearsals to set up equipment, helped monitor online COVID screening submissions, issued clothing and water jugs to new students and directed traffic at rehearsal dismissal! Then, there were the countless things behind the scenes such as preparations to repair and upgrade the semi trailer as we approach our first football game and designing and ordering equipment for shelves and storage units our volunteers are building for the Jag Band Hall.
Then, there were the preparations for the Jag Jog. This has actually been going on for almost a year because it began the very next day after last year's race was run! This included soliciting sponsors for the jog and setting up the various stations for check-in, water, moral support, safety and the myriad of other items needed to prepare for a race of this magnitude!! Next, there was the Jag Jog itself with a full crew of volunteers on hand for the big event! Volunteers were there to man tables, provide water, organize the runners, cheer them on along the way and also ensure that everyone followed safety protocols yet still enjoyed the day!
Next, there were those preparing uniforms for our freshmen and new students. Although it was not our usual complex task of custom fitting the entire band with uniforms, measured, adjusted and fitted perfectly, which usually takes weeks! It was, nonetheless, a monumental effort to have a uniform ready when a student arrived for their picture on Saturday or to immediately find and fit one when a surprise student arrived that was not on the list! There were also the preparations for the day of pictures where there were multiple photography screens in place, changing areas built, check-in stations set up and volunteers who manned those locations throughout the day!! And, do you know what the craziest part is???? Even though I tried to cover everything that volunteers did for our Jaguar Band this week, I am 100 percent positive that I missed some!
To every volunteer at every job that was done this week, to those that I am sure I missed and to those that wanted to volunteer but couldn’t, I want to say THANK YOU!! I know the old saying of “it takes a village” but I want to add that because of our volunteers, “our village is strong”! Again I say Thank You!!
Wow that was a lot!!! So, I’ll keep this part short and sweet! The first football game is coming soon and you will get a detailed schedule of times and procedures shortly! We have rehearsals this week on Monday & Thursday 5 - 8 p.m.! We have a Band Booster meeting on Tuesday where we will review all things marching band and will also share information about the Jag Bands “BIG” trip in the spring of 2022!
Let’s have another great week Jag Band!! We are driven for success; it’s who we are! JOHNSON: This Is Us!!!
Have a great week,
Mr. Lucita

JAGUAR JOG
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who was a part of our 2nd Annual Jaguar Jog this past Saturday. This year's event faced many challenges and curveballs but TOGETHER was a huge success and great community event. There were approximately 225 participants and much fun was had, safely, by all. A HUGE shout out to our amazing Jaguar Jog committee (Joe Carter, Melissa Frensley, Trish Jarrott, Shelly Allen, Joan Forsythe, Carmen Sifuentes and Shannon Cameron) on organizing this event that would not have been possible without the support of our race organizer, For the Love of Go; Jennifer Crosby and the City of Buda (Greg Olmer and Mayor of Buda); Whispering Hollow HOA and community; Buda Fire Department; and the Hays CISD. Thank you to all of our fantastic sponsors and vendors and our 50+ adult and student volunteers who brought so much positive energy to this event. We hope to make next years event even better with a return to normal.
Please share your event photos with us and we will publish on our website once reviewed.
Mark your calendars now for next year's Jaguar Jog, Saturday, September 18th, 2021!
